Go Wild Institute - Adventures

Our programs have helped thousands of diverse human beings deepen their relationship with the Earth, Self, and Spirit.

We belong to a sentient, sacred, intelligent, and vastly interconnected planet. Yet, many of us feel amputated from our nature.  In truth, it is impossible to separate ourselves from nature because we ARE nature: Our bones are made from rock; we are bodies of water; and with every breath we take, we conspire with plants.  Our well-being is inextricably linked to the welfare of our planet.

This world view is shared by most Earth-based indigenous societies. However, the current paradigm of Western society views humans as separate, and above nature. This is at the root of our environmental crises. When we change our relationship to nature, we change how we impact our environment.

What We Believe

In these times, many people feel disengaged from nature on physical, emotional and spiritual levels. However, in truth it is impossible to separate ourselves from nature because we ARE nature. Our bones are made from rock, we are bodies of water, and every breath we take swirls through tree canopies that make oxygen, which is essential for our inspiration.

We are intricately woven into a great web of life which is spun in sweetness made from sunshine. Our well-being is inextricably linked to the welfare of our planet. Every act we take impacts our environment, for better or worse. This philosophy is shared by many Earth-based societies. However, the current paradigm of Western Society views humans as separate from nature. This is at the root of our environmental crises. When we change our relationship to nature, we change how we impact our environment.

Our programs have helped thousands of diverse human beings deepen their relationship with the Earth.
