What if we “futured” like the natural world was us?

Rewilding Futures is a framework for imagining regenerative pathways in a time of ecological and cultural transformation.

Rewilding Futures: A New Approach to Envisioning Tomorrow

Rewilding Futures is an emerging transdisciplinary framework that integrates insights from ecological psychology, futures studies, and regenerative systems thinking. It offers a nature-connected approach to envisioning the future—one that begins not with external predictions, but with the rewilding of our inner landscapes: our values, imagination, and relationship to the living world.

Rather than framing the future as a purely technological challenge, this work invites us to ask:
What becomes possible when we root our visions for tomorrow in reciprocity, kinship, and planetary well-being?

Learn more about rewilding futures through interviews, articles, presentations, and speculative design concepts.
