The world is at a crossroads. Are you?
The systems we inherited are breaking. The future we were promised is fading. Many brilliant people are succumbing to the The Great Numbing*.
Grinding, scrolling, outsourcing their edge to AI.
Meanwhile, the world is desperately craving and increasingly rewarding anything wildly human.
Real voices. Original ideas. Aliveness at every scale.
Small pockets of passionate people who recognise the moment we’re in and are consciously choosing to reorient their work and life around three timeless truths;
Human Creativity is always the strongest currency.
Individual success is unsustainable without collective abundance.
To do your best work, you’ve got to live your best life.
Wild Underground exists to honour and accelerate all three.
While many chase certainty, the brave seek aliveness.
Wild Underground is a platform and pathway for the wild ones, exiled ones, and unquantifiable ones to bring their work and life alive.
It’s for people who believe the future won’t be shaped by institutions alone. But by networks of brave and imaginative humans willing to dream, build and embody wild alternatives.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably one of them.
2026 is your time to shine.
How it works
One year.
Two promises.
Three gatherings.
In 2026, over 12 expansive months, you and a curated cohort of high-agency humans will voyage together through a constellation of high-growth experiences and a living curriculum handcrafted to:
Reawaken your wild self.
Bring your signature work to life.
Co-author a collective future that works for all.

Who is it for?
You crave more beauty, spontaneity, and aliveness in your work, life and relationships.
You’ve already achieved, perhaps you’re happy with your current life, but you’re ready for something radical.
You’ve done the courses, attended the events, but still haven’t found your tribe.
You’re bored with endless theory, models & frameworks and are thirsty for real, embodied experiences.
You see a world in crisis but don’t want to wait to see what happens next—you want to make what happens next.
You believe in the power of community and love to give your gifts in service of others.
You’re looking for quick fixes, 5-step formulas, or AI to give you the answers.
You prefer the comfort of consuming over the risk of creating.
You’re secretly attached to hierarchies, enjoy titles, and love to play ego games.
You like the idea of community but aren’t yet ready to give as much as you get.
You need every detail, neatly defined, before you can take a step forward.
You’re unwilling to be surprised, stretched, or changed by the journey.
What to expect
Unique experience.
Most programs overwhelm with theory and underwhelm with application. We design immersive, emotionally resonant experiences that unlock identity-level transformation and fill your life with inspired, connected moments you’ll never forget.
A signature project(s).
Frameworks only get you so far. Real transformation occurs when you’re making something real that matters to you. Over 12 expansive months you’ll create and share a bold, distinctive project(s) that stretches you, enlivens you, and changes how the world sees you.
A tribe of allies.
Modern life is lonely. Making friends today is hard. But nothing beats belonging to a tribe a values-aligned humans who are just as committed to your success as you are. We curate our members for character and chemistry first to ensure kindness is the baseline not a bonus.
A festival finale.
We can’t end an experience like this with handshakes and certificates. So we’ll crescendo our year together with a public festival of aliveness that you co-design and deliver with Myke. And offer a pathway to steward the next cohort of wild ones in 2027.
