Welcome to Atlas Alchemist
Our Story
Atlas Alchemist is a space for re-enchantment—an invitation to notice the wildness that still exists around us.
Through ecology, GIS, and remote sensing, I explore plants, fungi, and landscapes as parts of living systems shaped by both natural processes and human stories. Maps become tools for attention, helping reveal patterns in the land and the meanings people have long attached to them.
By weaving together science, folklore, and storytelling, Atlas Alchemist offers ways to rediscover places that feel alive again, both the physical landscapes we move through and the stories that inhabit them.
Whether you’re a forager, a map-lover, or simply seeking a deeper connection to place, this is a space to slow down, look more closely, and recover a sense of wonder.

Re-enchantment through rewilding
Kyle
Storyteller, teacher, naturalist, scientist
Kyle is a storyteller, educator, and naturalist who helps people reconnect with the living world through maps, stories, and time spent paying attention.
His work draws on ecology and spatial analysis, but it begins in the field — noticing where plants grow, how fungi appear and disappear, and how landscapes hold memory. He blends scientific understanding with folklore, natural history, and lived experience, treating stories and data as different ways of listening to the same place.
Through Atlas Alchemist, Kyle creates maps and narratives that invite slower looking and deeper curiosity. The goal isn’t mastery, but relationship: learning to recognize the patterns, characters, and stories that shape the land around us.
When he’s not building maps or writing, you’ll usually find him on forest trails, following seasonal changes, turning over logs, and finding re-enchantment wherever is possible.
