Live on a Bigger Map
Wandering helps you see the world more clearly
What is Wandering?
The wanderer explores territory using intuition. Humans evolved to use intuition in tandem with reason, but industrial society doesn't value it. Luckily wandering sharpens intuition, and reasoning too.
EXPLOREWandering is good for you
Our ancestors used wandering to gather resources, so it feels good to your brain and body. It also produces alpha brain waves, which are associated with flow states coveted by artists, athletes, and other high-level performers.
Learn how to Wander
The Wanderer leaves the mindset of the day-to-day and enters a state of ludic play. Set some simple goals, hold them lightly, and do 3 things: make frequent, frivolous decisions, vary the intensity, and respond to subtle input.
LEARN TO WANDERBreak Down Barriers
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DON'T KNOW. The wanderer goes new places, meets new people, and absorbs tastes, rituals, and processes, forging new neuronal pathways and building bridges to communities they would never otherwise meet. That's why artists and explorers throughout history have had wandering at the core of their creative process.

You don't know what you don't know
Most people try to make the world small enough to understand, but the wanderer embraces uncertainty in search of a more accurate concept of reality. Our juicy publication the Institute of Not Knowing is written for wanderers, artists, thinkers, and sensitive types who want to cultivate their intuition and live on a bigger map.
Be Moved, Not Moved Around
I'm a licensed NYC guide who's wandered all over the map. I spend my time writing, wandering, and leading transformative experiences on the sidewalks of New York. It's easy to bounce off the surface of this city, but a good guide will take you to the best spots and give you context along the way.
