Welcome to The Rewilded Life.

Here, we’re looking for a way of being — a spirituality, if you will — grounded in freedom and mystery. We share a longing to be directed by our own inner compass, rather than by the map once drawn for us by others. We’re curious about meaning-making in the present moment, in our very bodies, right here on this sacred earth.

To rewild a piece of land is to allow it to return to its original state, biodiverse and flourishing. Rewilded land will look unkempt, but it is thriving—proven by its self-sustaining ecosystem.

What if this principle applied to us, too?

What if, instead of fighting so damn hard to survive within the narrow social standard prescribed to us, we gave ourselves permission to rewild? If we removed all the harmful human intervention that slowly strangle out life, could our souls find their way back to wholeness and vitality?

I am still on my journey of rewilding, and maybe you are too. Every new stage of my life makes me think that maybe it never really ends — but I know it is far less lonely when done with friends. And I know that now, more than ever, we need each other.

Ready to join the rewilding? You have options.
