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

At iRewild Institute, our mission is to inspire eco-citizens who can redefine the relationship between humanity, society, and the natural world, fostering a planet where all life can thrive and flourish. To truly address the root causes of our disconnection from nature, we must expand the ways we create and understand knowledge. By embracing a transdisciplinary approach, we deepen our insight into the psychological and cultural processes that have distanced us from the web of life. This approach allows us to not only change how we perceive the world but also to evolve our consciousness. As we dissolve the boundaries that separate us from nature, we restore well-being not just for ourselves, but for all living beings on Earth.
Envisioning a World Where Ecological Consciousness Shapes Every Decision
iRewild Institute envisions a world where ecological consciousness is not just an idea, but a deeply ingrained way of life for every individual and community. We strive to lead a global movement that fundamentally transforms how humanity perceives and interacts with the natural world, ensuring that every decision we make contributes to the restoration and flourishing of our planet's ecosystems. By uniting the collective wisdom of diverse thought leaders and collaborating with organizations, entrepreneurs, researchers, and communities, we aim to inspire and implement innovative solutions that drive meaningful and lasting change. Our vision is to create a world where all beings are valued, where every life form thrives, and where humanity works in harmony with nature to secure a sustainable future for all life on Earth.
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 for corporations, entrepreneurs, researchers, students, and communities 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.
