About Wild Roots

Wild Roots will be an immersive celebration centered on the theme of reclaiming our “wild roots.” In conservation, re-wilding is the process of restoring ecosystems by allowing nature to heal itself. Likewise, humans also need their own form of re-wilding—a return to deeper connections with nature, creativity, and each other.

Our festival seeks to inspire fresh ideas, foster meaningful dialogue, and bridge divides in a time of increasing polarization. Through music, art, embodiment practices, and wisdom-sharing, Wild Roots will serve as a catalyst for healing and renewal. We aim to create a welcoming space for celebration, creativity, and discussion, reinforcing an ongoing cycle of restoration.

The urgency to rebuild community and unity has never been greater. Amidst rising fear and division, humanity must reintegrate creativity, inclusive spirituality, and a deep connection to nature. Wild Roots will not be just a one-time event but also an enduring source of inspiration and support. By blending art with activism, we seek to advance justice, environmental stewardship, and social healing.
