EP 7. Rewilding with Peter Michael Bauer

from Wild Beings Podcast · host Wild Beings Podcast

Rewilding is a philosophy & set of values which enable us to live like humans once again. In a world that is rife with disconnection & deterioration of human societies & landscapes, rewilding gives us a framework to guide us back into a connected way of living. It is about bridging the concepts & land-based lifestyles of hunter gatherers & using those beliefs & practises to guide us forward into a way of living that is connected to each other & the land. Peter Michael Bauer is an anthropologist, experimental archeologist, historian & life-long community organiser. His work focuses on the social & environmental impacts of the neolithic revolution & how understanding these impacts can provide us with solutions to the 6th mass extinction. Since the early 2000's Peter has been an integral catalyst in the human rewilding movement. This movement works to create resilience through the return to place-based regenerative subsistence strategies, inspired by those that exist outside of and those that existed prior to agrarian states (Indigenous folks). Peter is also an author, rewilding & ancestral skills teacher & founder fo Rewild Portland. Website https://www.rewildportland.com/Peters Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/petermichaelbauer/?hl=enRewild Portland IG https://www.instagram.com/rewildportland/References: Ishmael by Daniel QuinnAgainst the Grain by James ScottRewilding the West by Dave Foreman  Podcast with Dr. Leonard Martin https://open.spotify.com/episode/0NK5jRcTEl7Dy4URKBynj9?si=0fe3c2861b9e460c
