The place we call home is the place where rewilding begins.

For it is the act of loving a place that connects and roots us to place. Loving is a creative act. One that spurs us to act on behalf of the place we love and brings forth the more beautiful cities our hearts know to be possible.

Rewilding our cities isn’t a solution. There’s no checklist of 10 ways rewilding will save the Earth. Instead, rewilding our cities is a call to action.

A manifesto for wilder, more beautiful cities. 

A journey into uncharted territory. 

A journey into the memories of the past. Memories held by indigenous peoples around the world. 

A journey into interbeing. Into learning the language of the more-than-human beings that also call a city home.

A journey into the future. The more more beautiful future we dream in our imaginations.

And through our memories, our imagination and our reconnection, we bring that future into being.

We find belonging.

Join me on the journey.

About

Inviting the wild into our Selves and our cities

I believe

That we need a new narrative for the city.

A narrative that disrupts a smart city narrative rooted in an economic, technological, mechanistic view of the city in which people are domesticated, passive residents, and in which more products – and less privacy – are the answer.

A narrative that brings to life the possibility of an urban experience that reconnects us with our wilder Selves, with our neighbours, with local businesses (farmers, bakers, makers, gardeners, carers…) and with the natural world. 

Earth is calling out to us to become active citizens, authors of thousands of conversations and experiments of what the city is and what it could be.

Why rewilding? Why now?

Because we breathe the Earth and the Earth breathes us. Our well being is interwoven with Earth’s well being.

We are at the dawn of a great reweaving. The reweaving of the wholehearted, wondrous, wilder more beautiful cities that our hearts know are possible.

The Journey Begins

The Journey by Mary OliverOne day you finally knewwhat you had to do, and began,though the voices around youkept shoutingtheir bad advice–though the whole housebegan to trembleand you felt the old tugat your ankles.”Mend my life!”each voice cried.But you didn’t stop.You knew what you had to do,though the wind priedwith its stiff fingersat the very foundations,though …
