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.
Aya and Ayana explore how olive trees shape Palestinian lifeways through everyday routines and long-held traditions. Olives are rooted in memory, community, and resilience and remain deeply defining across the region.
Artists Aubyn O’Grady and Jackie Olson share about The Willow Basket Project. Together with Ayana, they explore the ways that art can root us in place, support mining reclamation work, and even build bridges with unlikely allies.
For The Wild is elated to bring you our second Slow Study with Dr. Báyò Akómoláfé, We Will Dance with Mountains: VUNJA!—a learning journey for you to explore from home at your own pleasurable pace.
Join For The Wild in this series of study notes, embodiment practices, musical playlists to study and move to, extended access to new episodes, a collection of study notes, and a beautifully-designed practice guide that will bring a deeper level of comprehension with each book.
