How to ReWyld
A long, long time ago… I was burnt out. Classic hardworking, gotta perform and do it all to get ahead kinda upbringing. My path took me down some funny detours along the way, and I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to study and pursue philosophical and spiritual practices. Right now I think it’s more important than ever to quiet the chaos, slow yourself down, and figure out who you are, so you can determine what you are here to be doing to help. While history does repeat itself, it feels like a relatively dire time to get involved and save our lands, our democracy, and the lives of the future.
I believe we are operating at an entirely too fast pace. As individuals, as society. Anxiety is rampant, our attention spans are currently less than a gold fish (8 seconds..), and instead of being able to enjoy this human experience, we are always on to the next thing. Exhausted, depleted, and without much motivation to choose differently.
So we rewyld. We need to get back to the rhythms of nature. We are nature, after all. Many women are starting to do it by taking themselves off synthetic birth control and connecting more naturally do their hormonal cycles. We are leaning more into the joys of the seasons- getting back to a 90’s summer. We’re battling capitalism with simplicity and whimsy. And one thing I’ve learned is it’s not just the foods you eat that impact you, it’s everything you take in. The air you breathe, the people you surround yourself with, the time on a screen vs a time in nature. My hope is for you to heed that little voice inside that itches to have your bare feet in the grass, to be swining on a hammock watching the trees above rock back and forth, to sit under the stars and actually see them. To walk up the mountains, dip in the lakes, and be with your chosen people.
To rewyld, is to give yourself time. Time as you see fit. Perhaps driving a mountain pass and stopping to take pictures of summer snow, or wild flowers, or hike a 14er and rinse off in the back of the van- nothing quite like an outdoor shower. To be out of cell service. To follow the random sign down the dirt road to see where it takes you. To dip in the hot springs, and make a delicious meal. To sleep. To sleep comfortably, soundly, peacefully. To wake up with the sun, or to the smell of coffee and bacon. To treat your senses to the most natural, grounding energies so that you to become more grounded.
To rewyld, know yourself, stretch your stance, and do the thing you’ve been itching to do. Take the van out solo. Host the girls trip, and come back fulfilled and with new stories. Host the family, and pass on the tradition of hiking and gathering.
To rewyld is to give yourself what you need to show up in your life as your most authenetic, most nourished, best verson of you. So we can make sure the future can enjoy it too.
