It’s time to reawaken our connection to all that is wild.
Through Reconnection Ecology®, we expand our sense of community to include all living beings and work toward protecting thriving habitats for all Life.
Our Work
Earthfire Institute has pioneered Reconnection Ecology®, bringing people and wildlife together in intimate connection through retreats, stories, film, and workshops.
These visceral, healing experiences are open to all of us. They can occur anywhere, anytime, even in the most urban environments. Reconnection can be experienced at any emotional level, but the deeper it is, the more impact it has in reimagining our place among Earth’s ecosystems and inspiring the changes needed for all of Life to survive and thrive. Brief magical encounters with any wild being can trigger powerful reminders that we are part of a wondrous, greater whole.
