Elemental
Being human in a changing world.
We live in a time of rapid change—but what’s essential? Elemental is where I explore that question through stories, essays, and reflections on what it means to live with clarity, courage, and integrity. I’m Matthew King—author, speaker, and explorer. My path has taken me through more than 45 countries, beneath three oceans, and across mountain ranges on four continents—but my most transformative journey has been from head to heart. After surviving a rare form of Stage IV cancer, I turned inward—trading prestige for presence and choosing to live a more grounded, creative life. This is where I write from that place. Sometimes a letter. Sometimes, a field note. Always an invitation.
Reflections – Personal insights on purpose, presence, and the human journey
Field Notes – Travel, nature, and place-based experience
Dispatches – Creative updates, TEDx talk, and previews from the writing life
The Pulse – Cultural, spiritual, and systemic shifts worth watching
If you’re looking for writing that brings you closer to yourself, the planet, and what matters most—you’re in the right place.
