our story
Our story is not about us — It’s about bringing the human soul back into a deeper, more conscious relationship with nature.

A Future Where All Life Thrives
iRewild Institute plants the seeds for a world where ecological consciousness is not merely an idea, but a deeply ingrained way of life.
Because outer change cannot endure without inner transformation, we must move beyond fragmented ways of knowing and awaken a more embodied wisdom—one that restores the Earth’s sacred worth at the heart of our ethics, our choices, and our lives.
Where the Shift Begins
This vision begins not in policy, but in people—in the quiet, inner shift of how we listen, respond, and root ourselves within the living Earth.
We Are Not Separate From the Earth
iRewild Institute invites you to step back into the web of interbeing—to the Earth, to wonder, and to the wild wisdom within.
And in this remembering, the sacredness of life returns—quietly, steadily—as we feel the Earth once more as the heartbeat beneath our own.
On the deepest levels, the root issues — the perceptions, the paradigms, and unconscious influences from which we operate — can have profound effects on the fragility of our planet. Becoming aware of unconscious values, beliefs, motives, and ways of thinking allows us to connect to a deeper realm of awareness, a place of communion, where we are no longer the person we were when it began. We go through a subtle but profound shift that allows our inner knowing to emerge. We begin to see what wants to emerge, together with our own role and journey — a place from which we can address root issues and where future possibilities emerge.
No one person or business can restore our world’s fragile environment, but we can restore bits and pieces of the environment that are within our reach. Therefore, iRewild is reimagining think tanks, making them Internet-based and accessible for everyone. We bring together non-political, intellectual teams of change-makers, established and emerging, to solve urgent and complex challenges by accelerating breakthrough ideas and future actions that work to sustain a viable world for humanity and all life on Earth.
We invite you to join our international community of established and emerging experts, who share iRewild’s interest to catalyze global conversations, cultivate ecological consciousness, and play an instrumental role in solving complex challenges.

Our team of interdisciplinary thought leaders are working on ecological consciousness, eco-capitalism leadership, eco-stories, eco-children, and eco-psychology initiatives. In that effort, we design and implement new programs, that operate at the root cause level, toward raising individual and collective consciousness regarding humanity’s relationship to the planet.
We continue to deepen our impact to:
Develop a global movement of emerging, forward-looking thinkers and high-integrity leaders from a diversity of backgrounds. In so doing, iRewild inspires a broadening participation of individuals and partners to work collaboratively, creating new approaches that positively impact the wellbeing and health of our natural world.
Educate, develop awareness in, and empower the next generations of ecologically conscious youth to engage in, bring light to, think creatively to solve ecological challenges in their communities.
Convene a vast force of adults of all ages in rural communities as a force for ecological good. iRewild endeavors to spark their intellect, awareness, energy, and resources as leaders exploring thoughtful new routes to restore and maintain the long-term health of their local ecosystems.
