FOR THE WILD on Slow Media
Moss covered sculpture park in Parikkala, Finland by Veijo Rönkkönen (1944- 2010) who upon his death planned to bury the park in sand and leave it in silence for one thousand years.
We’re calling in slow media.
Feeling into the need for slow, emotionally grounded, and resonant content, we’ll be pausing weekly episodes to fully embody a slow media approach. The past ten years of interviews have shown us how media should be slow, rooted, and steadying, and this shift to slow media will honor all that we have learned from years of beautiful conversations.
Over the coming months, we will be bringing you print, film, long form media, deeply focused podcast series, and in-person events that will center community and connection. We invite you to dive in deep with us. Stay tuned to our socials, newsletter, website, and podcast feed for updates and announcements!
We’re embracing content that is deeply-rooted, resourced rather than reactionary, and that offers perspectives based on lived, tangible experiences. Society is moving at an inhuman and inhumane pace right now. Rather than submitting to a culture of constant productivity, we are focusing on moving at the earth’s pace. We’re answering to nature, spirit, and community, not to the clock.
We need our community of support more than ever to make this happen. Join us on Patreon at patreon.com/forthewild where you’ll get special updates on our projects, or make a one time donation at forthewild.world/support.
♫ The music featured is Angels Landing by Noah Klein with Moon Glyph.
SLOW MEDIA ZINE
What governs how we move, where our attentions are drawn?
Embracing a humane and earth-borne pace, this zine is a space to meditate on what is worthy of our attentions, how we understand the precious time we have been given, and how we reckon with a society that both commodifies and devalues our attention.
Bringing together wisdom from Fariha Róisín, Rachel Cargle, Josué Rivas, Tricia Hersey, Jarod K. Anderson, and Báyò Akómoláfé, alongside ritual, prayer, and reflection, this zine is meant to give space for a slow, rich approach to life and the abundance that this world offers.
Featuring art by Richard Ely, Kendall Greene, Lea Sophia Ostendorf, Michaela Davis, Genevieve Rae, and Chloe Parsons.
With 45 pages of content including: guided ritual, musical playlist, meditations, prayers, episode excerpts, hand-selected episode quotes, reflection questions, art from the For The Wild community of listeners and resources to further deepen your practices, we hope you find resonance with this offering.
What you get: A 45-page digital study guide & resource zine in PDF format (68.2mb) with live url links
