For The Wild is a slow media organization dedicated to land-based protection, co-liberation, and intersectional storytelling. We are rooted in a paradigm shift away from human supremacy, endless growth, and consumerism. As we dream towards a world of grounded justice and reciprocity, our work highlights impactful stories and deeply-felt meaning making as balms for these times.
This Slow Study Course is a series of lectures and practice prompts from Bayo’s 2023 edition of We Will Dance With Mountains: Vunja! wherein 1400+ people gathered. It is a carnivalesque course in postactivism, a decoration of the walls of the cracks, a cultivating of bewilderment together, and a sitting-together-until-something-happens.
We’re calling in slow media and embracing content that is deeply-rooted, resourced rather than reactionary, and that offers perspectives based on lived, tangible experiences. Rather than submitting to a culture of constant productivity, we are focusing on moving at the earth’s pace.
The downloadable SLOW STUDY is now available for PRESALE.
For The Wild is elated to bring you our second Slow Study with Bayo Akomolafe titled We Will Dance with Mountains: VUNJA! — a learning journey for you to explore from home at your own pleasurable pace. The course is an animist carnival-festival, a subterranean convergence of disarticulated bodies desirous of a new politics, and a cartography project set upon exploring vast terrains of failure as a gesture of refusal in a time when resistance not only feels inadequate to the task of decoloniality but programmatically linked to the continuity of the status quo.
Friends of For The Wild share short and creative offerings devoted to inviting relief, balance, and abundance back into our lives.

Now especially, the future of independent media and critical, thought provoking content seems uncertain. In times like these, the For The Wild team is even more dedicated to providing our listeners with meaningful listening experiences and media that embraces slow, deep learning.
