To shift from a human-centric life
to an eco-centric one
Companies & Teams
Eco-centric Strategy, Identity, & Governance
We work with companies & teams who want to bring the more-than-human world into their decision making process. Companies who want to build an identity big enough to relate to bodies of water and entire ecosystems.
Phase One: Reflecting
We start with an audit of the existing decision-making process. What perspectives fuel it? What world-views contribute to the overall identity?
Phase 2: Mapping
Then we map how that identity extends beyond the human world into the eco-centric one. What are the What parts of the ecosystem is business uniquely attuned to care about?
Phase 3: Relating
Then we invite people out into the world to start exploring this map together. This is not about strategic documentation but experiential practices. A business cannot change behavior until its people change their conversations with the world.
Philanthropists and Family Offices
Eco-centric Thesis Development and Execution
We work with individuals and family offices who want shift from giving based on personal values to moving money where it’s needed most.
The dominant form of philanthropy does little to shift power structures and create lasting change. But before money can move in new ways, people need to move in new ways.
This work allows philanthropists to step out of the world of money and into the world of relatedness. To build new forms of connection to the body, the community, and the natural world so that their money is just one of the ways they relate to the world.
Phase One: Reflecting
We start with an audit of how the individual or family office currently makes decisions and what this says about their identity.
Phase 2: Mapping
Through a series of practices and in-person experiences, we map the sensitivities and gifts of the individuals and the whole. This helps us better understand what parts of the more-than-human world are seeking a deeper relationship.
Phase 3: Relating
Then we invite people out into the world to start exploring this map together. This is not about strategic documentation but experiential practices. A business cannot change behavior until its people change their conversations with the world.
Individuals and Practitioners
Crafting an Eco-centric life
We work with Individuals and Practitioners who want to reengage with their work, themselves, and the natural world from a more expanded and integrated place. People who find themselves living between worlds: work and life. Retreats and home. Giving everything and recovering.
This work allows for realignment to more-than-human relationships and offers a chance to start new conversations to guide you in the next phase of your life.
Phase One: Reflecting
We start with an audit of your current movements through life. What spaces do you oscillate between? Who are you in these spaces? What tools do you have to replenish & release? What season of life do you find yourself in?
Phase 2: Mapping
Then we map the different paths into deeper connection with ourselves, community, and natural world. What parts of the world are you uniquely attuned to? What animals are calling to you? What bodies of water or trees or rocks or types of fire? What time of day is calling you most?
Phase 3: Relating
Then we invite people into these paths through practices and personal curriculums, supporting them with one-on-one check-ins, stories, practices, and inquiries to bring into each week.
To consider more than the human world,
you have to relate with more than the human world.
It’s time to take your work outdoors.

Values for Creating Good Ancestors
Most strategic projects work to uncover the unique values in each group or individual.
We don’t. Our work focuses to four ancestral values under which all others sit. Differentiation comes from deciding how you’re going to live each value.
Fire for life
Reconnect with what makes you want to bear your teeth at the world.
Aliveness, Curiosity, Hunger
Entanglement
Once you give your attention to the wider world, it starts looking back.
Reciprocity, Connectedness
Listening, receiving, devotion. Humility
Interconnection puts us in our place, literally and metaphorically.
Service, Accountability, ActionResponsibility
Once we know our place in the wider web, we can begin to show up for it.
What we pay attention to is what we belong to

During that same time, he’s shifted from consulting in New York City to writing in a bus in a cow paddock in Australia.

Anna McCracken
Anna is a writer, wilderness guide and social strategist. With a background in human rights law, she has spent over a decade working at the intersection of communities, government and business — listening deeply and bridging the stories from communities into the rooms where decisions and policies get made.
Across that time, Anna has lived nomadically from her home on wheels throughout remote Australia. She has come to learn that relationship and connection are at the heart of aliveness and belonging and that nothing meaningful shifts without them.
It is this understanding she brings to the wild.
She is the author of Do Wildness (Do Book Co), out September 2026.
