“We do best when left alone.”
Rewild the Human: Lessons from a Life Returned to Nature.
MARC CINANNI · WRITER · SPEAKER · FOUNDER OF MUNTANYA MAGICA
How the wild remade me.
Ever fantasize about selling everything and moving to a secluded island?
We did.
So after a career in global affairs and tech, I sold everything and moved my family to a remote island off the Pacific coast of Canada.
The three-year experiment changed everything—how I live, how I work, and how I create. It also led to Muntanya Màgica, the secluded retreat space we now run in the mountains near Barcelona.
Through talks and writing, I now share what rewilding revealed to me. How being left to our own wisdom brings us back to the clarity and purpose in a world that never shuts up.

Rewilding isn’t about escape, it’s about trust.
Trusting your life, your wisdom, and the creative intelligence that already knows the way forward.

Living off-grid taught me how humans and teams truly thrive.

🍃 Beyond Burnout
Burnout was my body’s way of saying enough. And I finally listened.
This talk is about what happens when you do the same, and how calm, creativity, and clarity return once you stop trying to control everything.
🍃 The Courage to Create
Creation asks for the same thing life does: trust.
This talk is about finding the courage to follow what feels alive, even when it doesn’t make sense yet.

I write about rewilding, creativity, and what it means to live in rhythm with your purpose.
