this wild thing, ltd

WELCOME! If you’ve found your way here, it’s likely because something wild in you stirred. Maybe it’s a love for the living world. Maybe it’s a longing to reconnect with the untamed parts of yourself. More often than not, they are the same thing. Either way, I’m glad you’re here.

This is a place to wander a little slower. To listen more closely. To remember what it feels like to belong to the Earth instead of simply passing through it. Together, we’ll explore deeper forms of connection — rooted in reciprocity, reverence, curiosity, and kinship with the more-than-human world. And perhaps, in the process, we’ll discover what begins to return when we allow the land to shape us back into ourselves.

WHAT THIS IS

this wild thing is a nature-centered community and creative platform focused on rewilding, ecological relationship, storytelling, nature connection, and remembering what it means to belong to the living world.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND HERE

You’ll find stories, reflections, and experiences rooted in the living world. This is a space for slowing down, paying attention, and remembering our relationship with the Earth and all the beings we share it with.

You’ll find writing about:

rewilding and reconnecting with nature
wildlife, watersheds, forests, and seasons
stillness, observation, and presence
ecological grief, hope, and belonging
community, conservation, and advocacy
creativity, storytelling, and the human spirit
the quiet magic of the wild woven into everyday life

FEATURED OFFERINGS

Some of these are future goals in the works, but these offerings, designed to help people deepen their relationship with the natural world, include:

workshops
guided walks
essays, field notes, and writing
community gatherings
nature mentorship
nature connection practices
advocacy

“The more we are removed from nature, the more we are denied our birthright to play in forests, climb mountains, follow streams, and fall in love with meadows, to become creative, self-actualized, deeply intuitive.”

– Kim Heacox

What does it mean to discover the wild?
What does it mean to discover the wild in you?

You’ve come to the right place if you:

Seek a deeper, more intimate relationship with the natural world.
Crave a life that’s slower, truer, and less domesticated – even if you don’t yet know what that looks like.
Feel tired of being over-civilized, over-scheduled, and under-nourished by anything real.
Want to reconnect with your own inner wildness – the senses you’ve dulled, the intuition you’ve ignored, the body you’ve talked over for years.
Want a guide, not a guru, someone who sits in the mud with you and offers questions instead of quick fixes.
Need to shed something – a story, a pace, a role, a version of yourself that feels too tight to keep wearing.
Want to apprentice yourself to the textures and teachings of the living world, and to your own feral nature.
Seek presence, not performance, and want someone to help you relearn the difference.
Desire transformation that isn’t glittery or glamorous, but gritty, honest, and rooted.
Rather become a creature than a brand – guided by your instincts instead of expectations.
Are ready to remember that you are part of the landscape, not separate from it.
