Woke in the Woods: A Journey from Points to Purpose

Awareness is easy. Purpose is harder.

Woke in the Woods is an adult satirical allegory that explores belief, identity, and the performance of moral certainty. In a community where points are tallied, language is policed, and allegiance is measured publicly, meaning slowly gives way to metrics.

Through animal allegory and pointed social critique, Dr. John Elcik examines how awareness becomes branding, how ideology hardens into identity, and how belonging is often earned through repetition rather than understanding. The story traces a movement’s evolution from intention to institution—and what gets lost along the way.
