Ancestry
Learning from our past to rediscover our true wildnature
Our ancestry is what makes us who we are. Our forefathers, forebears, parents’ grandparents and great grandparents. We are the descends of thousands of generations who have gone before us, men, women and children who have lived, loved, feared suffered, sang, danced and passed on their genes, their wisdom, memories and stories through the generations.
Forebears
In previous generations our families would have lived far closer to nature, far more attuned to their true wild nature.
Through the sands of time we have become disconnected and lost. When we talk of rewilding it includes returning to a way of deeper connection to the earth.
Stories
Before we had the internet, tv’s, phones before we even had books our ancestors passed on their wisdom and knowledge through the generations in their stories. The voices of our ancestors have been disappearing throughout the years. But if we listen hard enough, if we look in the right places. The stories can still be found, the wisdom and knowledge can still be accessed.
Illusion on Ascent
We live under the illusion that human beings have made a steady ascent through time. That we have advanced our lives and become more intelligent. Whilst we have made some advancements the truth is, we have become more and more disconnected from our natural state of living in the balance as part of nature. This ever-increasing disconnection can be seen as the root cause to most, if not all of the challenges we face today.
We must change
We are facing a mental and physical health epidemic and biodiversity extinction. We must learn from our ancestors; learn how to be at one with and understand our place in nature, to avoid the continued destruction of our natural world and its resources.
At Project Rewild we attempt to share the voice of our ancestors, we share their stories, we share their wisdom and their skills in order to help us understand better and to live closer to nature.
We must keep the stories alive, so the voices of our Ancestors can travel through the winds of time
