The Blog

Intentions

I feel the need to make things clear and explain my intentions surrounding the creation of this blog as I believe trasparency should be a big part of the whole process.

I see this site as an intermediary stepping stone to something much bigger: the network itself. I know that if I want to achieve my bigger much more ambitious goal I have to start somewhere within reach (such as this blog). Somewhere I get to express some ideas and thougths through the vessel of blog posts.

I wish this to be a place to express this vision with other people than those in my direct surroundings. To be somewhere to start creating a wider network and interest. To fuel feedback in whatver form that may take, constructive criticism and ideas.

The photographic contents of this blog is done mostly by the talented photographer and videographer Camilla Howe (my twin sis), and myself. As we have travelled fairly extensively we have had the opportunity to rewild in many places such as the deep Australian outback. Many shots you will see are from there and beyond. The written contents is for now done by myself but will soon be featuring other authors and contributors.

I am currently searching for collaborators and contributors!

If you think you may be able to help (or know anyone who may) in the creation of The Human Rewilding Network itself please don’t hesitate to get in contact. Or perhaps you may want to write and article about a related subjet to help create contents for others to become inspired by? The community starts here and now and I am not interested in doing this alone.

🌿 The rewilding path can go in many directions, but perhaps one of the most fundamental is "finding the bars of the cage" of civilisation. Using this philosophy to understand where we have come from, what historic changes created the western "civilised" cultures of today, and how we can use this knowledge to move forward in a more balanced and nature-connected way.
🌿 At first, all you may see are a couple of hippywippy tree huggers captured in a moment of loveywovey sopeyness. You may snigger. Perhaps even judge little? Or maybe you relate. You've been here before. Laid your body against a beautiful big tree, and just breathed with it. Slowly in... deeply out... A sweet and simple moment of meditation. An opportunity to connect and set an intention. The intention to dedicate care and love to all beings of the natural world. To set oneself on the same plane and dissolve all hierarchical and cultural notions that as a human you are "superior", more powerful.
🌿 The will of the wild is inside each and every one of us. A deep knowing that may be hidden just out of sight and mind beneath the burdens of society and the cultures we find ourselves immersed in. For many of us, a big weight on our shoulders.
🌿 I've been hesitating about posting this picture for a while. "Will people I know be shocked if I share a "naked" pic of myself? What will they think? Will I be objectified or sexualised in any way? Why do I want to post this anyway? Is it that important? I mean it's just a freakin' Insta post after all....".
🌿 This is one of the principles at the heart of rewilding. And for many of us this won't be a simple task. Myself included, having travelled a lot and lived on different lands. But it is a goal of mine and a challenge I know I need to face if I want to be in tune with this aspect of rewilding. In fact, growing deep roots somewhere at the heart of nature (and community) is something I yearn for, and know I will find soon enough. And when it happens, all the tools and knowledge I am learning now on my own rewilding journey will be very empowering i am sure.
🌿 Go get your hands dirty!! Make direct contact with the land and your animal body. Feel the earth between your fingers and toes. Build a relationship with your natural surroundings. Observe it's cyclical ups and downs.
