S.2, EP.7 - REWILD OR DIE WITH PETER MICHAEL BAUER - 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 entered around re-wilding, natural movement, nature connection and ancestral living practices. Thanks for joining me on this journey!

About today's show:

Today I am sharing a conversation I recorded with Peter Michael Bauer of Rewild Portland.

Peter Michael Bauer is an anthropologist, experimental archaeologist, and historian. His work focuses on the social and environmental impacts of the neolithic revolution, and how understanding these impacts can provide us with solutions to the sixth mass extinction. Since the early 2000’s, he has been an integral catalyst in the human rewilding movement. He sees rewilding as a principle, or a lens, that helps us see and move through the world in terms of regeneration and reciprocity. It is not the “one right way”—it is a million ways to live in the flow of natural cycles. It recognises that humans are not above those flows, and that it is actually more beneficial to our ecosystems when we acknowledge and become part of them. This movement works to create resilience through the return to place-based, regenerative subsistence strategies, inspired by those that existed prior to–or exist outside of–the formation of agrarian states. He created the first international online rewilding forum (now archived at discuss.rewild.com), wrote a book on rewilding called Rewild or Die, founded the organisation Rewild Portland (where he teaches classes), and created the Annual North American Rewilding Conference.

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.
