S.2, EP.3 - REWILD YOUR BODY WITH DAMIEN NORRIS - a podcast by Jake Clapson

Hey! Welcome to Move Wild Podcast, a podcast dedicated to understanding human health from an evolutionary perspective, and integrating the universal principles of human health and wildness into our lives. Each week I interview and discuss with guests on topics and conversations focused around re-wilding, natural movement, nature connection and ancestral living practices. Thanks for joining me on this journey!

Today's Show: 

Today I had the pleasure of sitting down and having a chat with Damien Norris of the Wilding Project. Damien has a background in gymnastics, parkour and natural movement. Damien’s journey of getting back into movement after leaving gymnastics not only transformed his fitness, but reconnected him to his wild side and what the human body has been capable of for many millennia. he has returned from a journey across the world, connecting with different movement experts on his travels. He lives in Perth with his wife and son, and owns and coaches at his gym - The Wilding Project. He has a great Tedx talk that I highly recommend where he talks about the process of Re-wilding our bodies.

We go into a wide range of topics in this one such as the difference between exercise and fitness, the role of fitness in the modern world and so much more, I was so stoked and grateful that Damien took the time to have this conversation and I’m excited to see what you think. This conversations inspired me in so many ways….

My Vision:

I’m in the process of creating this vision of place-based community centred in many of the practices that this podcast focuses on such as natural movement, hunting, re-wilding, community and traditional earth-based skills. I am going to be doing this mainly through running and facilitating immersive retreat experiences. If you feel you can help in any way, please feel free to reach out, this is a community project and I’m always happy to collaborate.
