WildAwake - Rewilding Leadership Trail

An immersive Rewilding Leadership Trail in the Carpathian Mountains in Romania

What better way to discover rewilding than by living it directly?

Rewilding as inspiration for leadership

WildAwake invites leaders, entrepreneurs and changemakers to step out of their offices and daily routines, into living rewilding landscapes.

During a multi-day wilderness trail in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania, we explore what leadership can become, when rooted in connection – with self, with others, and with the living systems we are part of.

This is not a retreat. This is a call to rewild yourself. To remember how to listen and connect to the land and the life it nourishes And start leading from there - reshaping your own (eco)system

How your experience helps rewilding efforts

We connect leaders with rewilding – not as an abstract concept, but as a lived experience and inspiration for change. The landscape acts as a co-facilitator: forests, rivers, wildlife, silence and movement become our teachers. We observe, feel and learn. Rewilding demonstrates how carefully curated interventions can restore entire ecosystems and change local communities. Participants explore how these principles translate into a new form of personal leadership and organisational transformation. Our participants will be leaders in organisations and society. We aim for our participants to become ambassadors for Rewilding Europe and embody its values and principles when they return to society and their organisations. This will add to exposure for Rewilding Europe and its mission. They (their organisations) may also become donors, partners or supporters of Rewilding Europe. Finally, through our programmes we support the local entrepreneurs that are providing services (catering, transportation, etc.).
