Nature, Arts & Mind:
A Leadership Vision for Restoring Deep Human Capacities for Flourishing through Ecological Belonging
Research & Participatory Innovation
Rewilding: Lab is a research-driven practice exploring the intersections of nature, the arts, and mind-body practices for human wellbeing and regenerative futures.
My recent and ongoing projects include:
Investigating psychological and sensory dimensions of human rewilding
Exploring the rewilding of futures and applications including speculative design
Designing symbolic and participatory art installations (e.g., Wild Twins) that invite individuals and communities to reflect on their relationship with nature, embodiment, and multispecies belonging
Contributing to broader academic and applied conversations on how reconnecting with nature supports cognitive resilience, emotional health, and ecological awareness
This research informs the integrative practices and workshops I offer, ensuring that each experience is grounded in evidence, innovation, and deep cultural meaning.
ReWilding: Lab Offerings
Rewilding: Lab serves as both a research studio and an immersive wellness space, offering:
Individual and small group sessions
Guided nature-based journeys and workshops
Customized rewilding practices
Integrative wellness consultations for leaders and organizations seeking regenerative models of well-being
Why It Matters
As we move deeper into the AI era, human flourishing will depend on more than cognitive speed or technological adaptation — it will require sensory, emotional, and ecological resilience.
My work helps people and organizations restore coherence between mind, body, community, and place — supporting whole health and long-term well-being.
My whole health work integrates:
Nature-based approaches / Ecotherapy/ Embodied practices
The arts, neuroarts
Mind-body practices
Ritual, embodiment, and symbolic reconnection
Core Frameworks: Tools for Systems-Level Impact
A longterm whole health advocate and practitioner, I began exploring the application of principles from conservation rewilding to human health and wellbeing after COVID-19.
Human Rewilding → An integrative approach to whole-health placing ecological connection at the center of health and wellness.
Rewilding Futures Methodology → A regenerative systems approach restoring ecological imagination and symbolic coherence in human-centered design.
