If things feel askew, there’s a reason.

There are beautiful things about the modern world, but our ancestors evolved in a very different context.

We are social and tribal mammals and most of us lack the connection and interdependence that is meant to be the web of support beneath us. And our species has been domesticated to the point of being quite distant from the wisdom in our bodies that could allow us to recover after overwhelming or traumatic events.

But it’s still in there, waiting for rewilding, and there are ways to set it free…

"Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese- harsh and exciting, over and over again announcing your place in the family of things."

— Mary Oliver (from Wild Geese)
