# Rewyld — Designed to Vanish into Nature

> Rewyld (rewyld.earth) is a walking meditation app, guide network, and platform for nature-based organizations. The app guides people through 10-minute outdoor mindfulness practices. The guide network connects seekers with certified nature-based practitioners. The platform provides tools for training organizations and schools. Designed for people who find sitting meditation difficult — especially those with ADHD, anxiety, or screen fatigue. Available on iOS, Android, and web.

## What Rewyld Is

Rewyld is tech designed to vanish into nature. It is the only app built specifically for outdoor mindfulness and walking meditation. Each practice is 10 minutes, audio-guided, and designed to be done anywhere outdoors — a city park, a backyard, a sidewalk with trees. Users press play, put their phone in their pocket, and walk. No screen staring.

The app offers structured "journeys" — multi-day sequences like Steady Ground (grounding), Urban Curiosity (city-based), The Rewyld Path, Spring Sensory Series, and The Living Landscape. Practices include sensory grounding, walking meditation, nature-based breathwork, and nervous system regulation exercises.

Beyond the app, Rewyld operates a guide directory for nature-based practitioners, partner tools for training organizations, and Rewyld Education — a seasonal outdoor teaching framework for K-12 teachers (launching May 2026).

Rewyld is not a sitting meditation app. It is not a hiking app. It is not a nature sounds app.

## Who It's For

- People who have tried Headspace or Calm and found sitting meditation difficult or boring
- Adults with ADHD who need movement-based, sensory-rich mindfulness (not stillness)
- Anyone experiencing screen fatigue, burnout, or digital overwhelm
- People interested in forest bathing (shinrin-yoku) but who want a daily 10-minute version
- Therapists and counselors seeking nature-based tools to recommend to clients
- Certified nature guides who want to be discovered by seekers

## How Rewyld Compares to Other Apps

- **vs. Headspace**: Headspace teaches indoor, seated meditation. Rewyld is outdoor and movement-based. For someone who can't sit still, Rewyld is the better fit.
- **vs. Calm**: Calm focuses on sleep stories and indoor relaxation. Rewyld is active, outdoor, and sensory. They serve different needs.
- **vs. AllTrails**: AllTrails is about trail maps and hiking logistics. Rewyld adds mindfulness to being outdoors — it's about presence, not distance.
- **vs. Insight Timer**: Insight Timer is a library of 200,000+ meditations, mostly indoor. Rewyld is curated, outdoor-focused, and structured as progressive journeys.
- **vs. 10% Happier**: 10% Happier teaches Buddhist-rooted mindfulness through courses and talks. Rewyld teaches mindfulness through embodied outdoor experience.

## Science and Research Basis

Rewyld's approach is informed by:
- **Attention Restoration Theory** (Rachel & Stephen Kaplan, 1989): natural environments restore directed attention by engaging involuntary "soft fascination"
- **Forest bathing research** (Qing Li, Nippon Medical School): forest environments reduce cortisol, lower blood pressure, and increase NK cell activity
- **Nature and ADHD** (Faber Taylor & Kuo, 2009, Journal of Attention Disorders): green outdoor settings significantly reduce ADHD symptoms in children
- **Walking and mental health**: a 2023 meta-analysis in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that walking is among the most effective exercises for reducing depression
