"I want people doing good in the world to get the recognition, love and energy that they deserve. A goal of this work is inspire people to tune into themselves, get back to nature and find a purposeful path in life. I am grateful to be a part of the global community that this project has manifested." - Alissa Hessler

Photographer, multimedia storyteller and Urban Exodus creator, Alissa Hessler, has spent the last decade photographing, interviewing and sharing the stories of people who are reconnecting with the natural world and building more fulfilling and self-sufficient lives, both inside and outside of the city. There is so much wisdom to be learned from people who have taken a leap of faith - believing in themselves, their dreams and their vision for a better future.
