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. Our work highlights impactful stories and deeply-felt meaning making as balms for these times.
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.
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.
Join For The Wild in this series of live gatherings, embodiment practices, musical playlists to study and move to, extended access to new episodes, a collection of study notes, a community discussion group, and beautifully-designed practice guides that will bring a deeper level of comprehension with each book.
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.
