Chicago Rewilding Society, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is a city-based nature sanctuary on the West-Side of Chicago.
We specialize in animal-assisted therapy and immersive educational art installations.
Our goal is to amplify joy, wonder, delight, and a sense of magic through therapeutic horseback riding, animal-assisted therapy, and experiential environmental studies.
We use both scientific inquiry and artistic experimentation to explore the beauty & intricacies of nature: from internal anatomy to the environments in which we live.
Encountering animals in the city is inherently therapeutic. We believe through partnering with animals and the natural world, we can better inhabit our own human bodies, encouraging us to humanely relate to ourselves, one another, and the world around us.
This is the intersection of community, education, and ecological arts. We are honored to be part of the vitality and vibrancy of our Garfield Park neighborhood.
