REWILD FESTIVAL
NOVEMBER 8–10, 2024
LOTUS RANCH | WIMBERLEY, TX
ABOUT THE REWILD FESTIVAL
The Rewild Festival is a 2-night immersive retreat in the Texas Hill Country that’s intentionally curated to strengthen our connection to each other and our primal blueprints. At its core, rewilding is a return to a more natural state. Inspired by the relationships we find in Nature, the Rewild Fest uses the concepts of social permaculture, nature connection and kinship as a holistic approach to building enriching communities, dynamic businesses and a camp-like feeling of moving through life. Together, we create a mutually beneficial ecosystem that extends to work, play, business, finance, mental health, social life and family systems.
This year’s theme explore “tapping into source” as a way to connect during our time together. We’ll explore topics such as Living boldly in your natural expression and not needing permission, Cultivating inner confidence to create something you’ve always dreamed of, eating for mental states, building mycelium networks rooted in courage and reciprocity and so much more.
Not only will you have the opportunity to attend incredible sessions, you will also get the chance to have guided small group discussions and reflections to learn, connect and integrate learnings.
Throughout the weekend your phone will be on airplane or put away so you can experience the massive benefits of a digital detox as well.
After the weekend ends you will be a part of our forever alumni group chat where you can keep connecting.
