A dangerous invitation to the best year of your life.
Home for wild humans who believe there’s a better way and are brave enough to build it, together.
One year.
Two promises.
Three gatherings.
A signature project. A co-created festival. A tribe unlike any other.
Wild Underground is a rite of passage and community of practice for high agency humans
who are ready to bring their work and life alive.
Applications for founding cohort 2026 are open now.
Part pilgrimage. Part fellowship.
Part creative conspiracy.
Over twelve expansive months, a curated cohort of wild ones, exiled ones, and unquantifiable ones will voyage through a constellation of high-growth experiences to:
Reawaken
their
wild self.
Bring their
signature work
to life.
Co-author a collective future that works for all.
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’.
Meanwhile, the world is desperately craving and increasingly rewarding anything wildly human. Real voices. Original ideas. Aliveness at every scale.
While the many chase certainty, the courageous few are finding fortune on the fringes. Small pockets of passionate people who recognise the moment we’re in and are 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.
exists to honour and accelerate all three.
Do you feel like you’re made for more?
Is there something you’ve got to give but struggle to get it out?
Is your work and voice unique but unrecognised or undervalued?
Do you have moments of inspired energy followed by months of creative inertia?
Do you ever reduce your radical self or dilute your dangerous ideas to stay safe?
Are you tired of fighting it out alone, watching the world through a screen, burning to be part
of something that matters and makes a real difference?
Perfect. You’re in the right place.
Get wild, stay brave, co-author a new way.
Wild Underground is a platform and a pathway for the mavericks and misfits, rebels and renegades, outliers and originals who want a say in how tomorrow becomes today.
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

Create and share a bold, distinctive project that stretches you, enlivens you, and changes how the world sees you—for good.
Name and live your wild edge
Unearth a professional clarity, personal mythology, and congruent identity that keeps you on your path and future-proofs your value.
Multiply
your value
Build the creative and commercial confidence to differentiate your value and future-proof your career.
Elevate your public presence
Get seen and known for who you are, what you make, how you serve the world.
Belong to (and build) an extraordinary community

Reclaim your time. Redesign your life.
Design personalised rhythms and rituals of renewal that keep you sourcing from your aliveness and creating more abundance.

Wild Underground is for you if…
You crave more beauty, spontaneity, and aliveness in your work, life and relationships.
You’ve already achieved plenty, but you’re ready for the next wild adventure.
You’ve done the courses, attended the events, but still haven’t found your tribe.
You’re bored with models & frameworks and are thirsty for wild, unique experiences.
You see a world in crisis but don’t want to wait to see what happens—you want to make
what happens.
You believe in the power of community and love to commit your gifts in service of others.
It’s not for you if…
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 love 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.

How is this different?
Wild Underground is unlike any other program or community. And we like it that way. Below are just some of the ways we do things differently to ensure we deliver.
-
Most programs overwhelm with endless theory and generic worksheets. We design immersive, emotionally resonant experiences that unlock identity-level transformation.
-
Most programs promise quick fixes and miracle results over rigid timelines. We move with natural rhythms so real change is rooted not rushed.
-
Most programs lean heavy on one style of delivery. We blend IRL gatherings, online rhythms, asynchronous rituals, and emergent encounters to form a living ecosystem for growth.
-
Most programs talk of community but feel more like a competition. We curate our members for character and chemistry so kindness and reciprocity is the baseline, not the bonus.
-
Most programs get heavy or hollow with hype. We take our work and the world seriously but meet it all lightly, with mischief, humour and irreverence.
-
Most programs start with fire but quickly fizzle. We make an unbreakable commitment to
two non-negotiable promises.
Make and share something only you can.
No one wins unless we all win.
-
Most programs end with certificates. We end with a public co-produced festival and a pathway to steward the next round of participants.
The Secret Weapon
Wild Underground is supported by a collective of world-class creatives backed by a proven track record of cultural impact and commercial success.
An evolving cast of photographers, filmmakers, designers, musicians, artists, authors, myth-makers and more.
Every guest contributor is a recognised leader in their creative discipline. Each with a unique perspective, an original personality, and a single-pointed purpose: to help you reclaim your wild essence and create work that only you can.
Our rotating network of collaborators bring fresh angles, honest critique, and hands on help when you need it most. Through structured sessions and spontaneous interventions we ensure you’ll always have the insight, inspiration, resources and relationships to bring your signature work to life.
Behind The Curtain
Wild Underground is founded and led by Mykel Dixon.
An award-winning speaker, bestselling author, professional musician, and creative catalyst trusted by some of the world’s leading organisations to design transformative experiences, programs and events.
For over a decade, Myke’s helped global brands, executive teams, and cultural pioneers unlock wild creativity, ignite real human aliveness, and reimagine leadership.
His work has lit up rooms and reshaped cultures in organisations like: Google · SAP · Atlassian · Mattel · LuluLemon · BHP · ARUP · Inuit · Mattel · LuluLemon · BHP · ARUP · CBA · Medibank · IAG · TEDx · Do Lectures · House of Beautiful Business
But Myke and his team are only half of the story.
Regardless of what believe or what you’ve been told, your life matters, your gifts matter, and the world needs both—urgently. You didn’t come here to grind, scroll, and die. You came here to come alive.
I’ve spent most of my life in the search. For answers, ideas, opportunities, and others. I’ve travelled across continents, sat with wisdom keepers, devoted myself to all kinds of practice. I’ve lived as an artist, worked in small and big business, and been challenged as a father, founder, and friend.
I’ve learned much, forgotten most, and begged for forgiveness more than once. Here’s what I know for sure.
Your aliveness isn’t an indulgence, it’s an imperative. Your gifts won’t be fully realised until you give them away. When you live in alignment, and follow your aliveness, the world rearranges to bring you more abundance. Doors open. Allies appear. Unimagined opportunities emerge.
It’s not magic. It’s physics. Life exists to create more life.
In a world gone mad, facing an uncertain future, the safest, sanest, most selfless thing to do, is reawaken our wild selves, create work that only we can, and become a vivid, vibrant alternative to what not longer serves.
If you’re ready to get wild, stay brave, and build a bold new way, Wild Underground is ready for you.
Let’s build something outrageous together.
I dare you.
