Wilding Protocol: Weekend 2026

06:00 - Atheal Navigation (The No-Phone Trek)
Head to the Guadalupe River bank. Leave the GPS. Navigate purely by the 'Pull' of the water. Find a spot where the river 'speaks' (bubbles) and sit until you hear a word.
10:00 - Ogham Pattern Recognition
Look at the branches of the Pecan trees. See the 'Scratches' they make against the sky. Sketch these lines. Do not look for 'Letters,' look for 'Flows.'
14:00 - The Alchemical Meal
Consume one thing found in the wild (safely identified, like Dandelion or Mustang Grape). This is 'Chemical Reconciliation' with the local soil. Your blood must recognize the land.
Sunset - The Horizon Gaze
Watch the sun vanish. This is the 'Thinning.' As the light dies, try to feel the moment the land 'exhales.' That drop in temperature is the land spirit waking up.
Midnight - Ancestral Latency Check
Sit in total darkness. Ask a question out loud to the empty room. Do not expect an answer. Just observe the sudden 'weight' of the air after the sound stops.
