Nurture Your Connection with the Earth

Artificial intelligence, robotics, cryptocurrency, and other accelerating technologies are reshaping our world in profound and unpredictable ways. For many, this era of rapid change can feel disorienting, ungrounding, overwhelming, scary, and uncertain. And yet, it is precisely in times like these that our relationship with the living world becomes most essential.  

The built and digital worlds of humanity are remarkable, but they rest upon a deeper, older, and more mysterious foundation—the living Earth and Cosmos that sustains all life. Rewilding is a remembering of that truth. It is a returning to the knowing that nature holds us, teaches us, and nourishes us—and that through relationship with the Earth and one another, we can rediscover guidance, joy, beauty, resilience, belonging, and meaning. How can we adapt to a changing world, while keeping our feet firmly rooted in the wisdom of the living Earth? This is our inquiry.

Join the author of Rewilding and Founding Director of the Kripalu School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership, Micah Mortali, and friends for our third annual Rewilding Summit—a deep, multidisciplinary gathering exploring what it means to rewild our lives as modern people in a changing world.  

Our esteemed guest faculty includes:

  • Jon Young: Keynote speaker, author of What the Robin Knows, co-author of Coyote’s Guide, creator of the 8 Shields approach, co-founder of the Wilderness Awareness School, and a foundational voice in the global nature connection and rewilding movement.
  • Woniya Thibeault: Author of Never Alone, mother, survivalist, homesteader, and the first woman to win Alone.
  • Daniel Vitalis: Star of Wild Fed and host of the Rewild Yourself podcast.
  • Jake Lewis: Master storyteller and student of myth, who will help open our gathering with the telling of The Moon Palace.
  • Leah Penniman: Author of Black Earth Wisdom, Farming While Black, and Founder of Soul Fire Farm.
  • And more!

Schedule and more information coming soon!
