TEDx Nashville – Reframing Chaos as “The Wild”
February 18, 2026 @ 6:30pm
This event has passed.
6:30 – 8:30 PM
Chaos → The Wild
An intimate evening of reflection, music, and orientation
There are moments in life when the past can no longer be again, and the future hasn’t yet come into focus.
We often call this chaos.
But what if it’s something else?
Chaos → The Wild is an intimate, listening-forward evening that reframes chaos not as something broken to fix, but as the wild — something alive, navigable, and worthy of attention.
Hosted at Analog, the night blends storytelling, guided reflection, embodiment, and live music to help participants reorient themselves inside uncertainty without pressure to explain, perform, or resolve anything.
The evening will include:
-
Reflections from Michael McRay, author of The Wild Way, on navigating the space between the old story and the new
-
Two live musical performances by Katie Pruitt, offering emotional grounding and integration
-
Gentle guided writing prompts (kept private)
-
A short embodiment session to return attention to the body
-
A unique metaphor-based sharing experience designed for connection without personal disclosure
This is not a workshop.
It’s not a talk with takeaways.
And it’s not about finding answers.
It’s about learning to recognize when you’re between maps — and discovering that disorientation is not failure, but transition.
Books will be available for purchase at the end of the evening, followed by relaxed conversation and hanging out.
Come as you are.
You don’t need to know what’s next.
