Stories from the Wood Wide Web

Welcome to a journey with many paths – misty, winding, secret paths in the beautiful wilderness that lies beyond our gates. I hope this website offers you seeds and ideas for your own journey to root deeper and find a way of belonging in the forests and other places around you. Place makes us who we are. This website is the documentation of deep experimental learning and published with the hope of challenging and expanding our concepts around nature connection, creativity, justice and health.

This website is initiated by Wendy Wuyts (PhD), a Belgium-born researcher, writer, content creator, initiator and facilitator of eco+mythology and ecofeminist science fiction. She is a certified forest therapy guide and founded the Flemish website for forest bathing. She has worked in leadership positions in startups and European projects and has been involved in successful grant writing core teams.

In 2026, she is/will be affiliated with TU Eindhoven (working for the European EcoCARE project), The Ecofeminist Society and the Nordic Summer University. Behind the screens, she is setting up a small consultancy and publishing firm, formalizing what she has been building here since 2018.

Projects and practices

Explore the different projects and collaborations with organizations. Wendy has co-developed and (co-)facilitated various workshops and symposia, in collaborations with universities and as part of national or European Union-funded projects. She been working out and testing different practices, pedagogies and methods. She tested established ones, like fish bowls, and developed new methods, like writing(with)plants, in collaboration with other critters (humans and nonhumans).

As you might be only interested in a few projects or practices that she investigate and uses in workshops, you can subscribe to one or more newsletters, depending on your interest.

Papers and books

In addition, Wendy is involved in research and publishes some findings in academic papers in highly renowned journals and book chapters.

As storytelling is at the heart of wood wide web stories, you can find various fiction and care work books in English, in addition to some ecofiction books in Dutch.

Blog … our ever-changing bog

Visit the blog to read various stories from ‘woods’ and other (re)enchanted places from the whole world. Some posts are the results of explorations of academic work, while others are reflections, musings or descriptions of visits to the woods, beaches, deserts or other magical places. The blog is like a big bog. Some posts might be outdated; they reflect part of our (sometimes naive) learning, unlearning and transformation process.

This blog is started by Wendy Wuyts during autumn equinox 2018. In April 2020, Wendy started to invite others to contribute as guest bloggers to share their woodwide stories. In the menu, you can find a menu to explore the blogposts through various geographies.

If you want to learn about everything that is addressed here and can cope with the chaos of the bog, it is recommended to subscribe (via the WordPress system) to this website.
