Hi, I’m Jen Guyton.
For years, I told stories through a lens, chasing golden light, crossing high mountain passes, documenting the wild beauty of this planet and the people who live close to it.
As a photographer for National Geographic and others, I built a career that many dream of. And in many ways, it was a dream: rich with adventure, meaning, and awe. Photography taught me how to see the world, and myself, with reverence.
But somewhere in the midst of chasing stories across the world, I lost the thread of my own. The outer journey no longer mirrored my inner one. Success didn’t feel the way I thought it would. I didn’t know who I was without my camera in hand.
And the question I had spent so long avoiding rose to the surface: What if this dream isn’t the whole story?
What followed wasn’t a dramatic reinvention, but a deep quieting. A peeling back. A rewilding of my own soul.
I came to see that the journeys I was meant to witness weren’t just across mountains, but through the brave, beautiful, messy terrain of inner transformation.
That’s where Wild Beyond was born. In the slow, quiet work of rewilding my inner landscape, reclaiming the parts I’d abandoned to succeed, and learning to trust the parts that never made sense in a linear world.
This is a sanctuary for becoming. A space for truth-telling. Soul-alignment. Creative reimagining. For walking together through the liminal spaces I had once walked alone.
Today, I still photograph with the same reverence I always have. But I also coach and create experiences for those who are navigating what comes after the performance.
Of the life beyond success. Of the deep work of soul alignment, and the courage it takes to let go of the life that no longer fits.
It’s a space for those ready to leave the well-trodden trail. To descend, soften, listen, and emerge, not as who the world wants them to be, but as who they really are.
This is the work I now hold space for: For those in transition. In reinvention. In sacred return. For those crossing the threshold into their own Wild Beyond.
