About this episode

What does it mean to rewild ourselves? This week, Willow speaks with legendary conservationist and former Patagonia CEO Kristine Tompkins about her decades of work rewilding and protecting nature—including over 16 million acres of land and over 30 million acres of ocean. In their conversation, they delve into rewilding as a way to stay connected to the living world, even in the face of grief and loss. At the heart of this episode is a simple idea: when we remember that we are part of nature, we discover a deeper sense of purpose and possibility.
