The Wild Within: What Plants Taught Me about Life, Recovery and Renewal
£14.95
Unavailable
Echoing the journey of a plant itself, this is a personal exploration of rewilding and recovery. In a series of short, beautifully written, viscerally alive chapters, eco-psychotherapist and herbalist Brigit Anna McNeill tells her own story and explores the lives of the plants in her wooded Devon landscape. She explains how the natural cycle of dispersal, growth and bloom can inspire our recovery from trauma, stress and illness. By focusing on totemic plants and wildlife, Brigit delivers a botanical journey to healing. She changes our attitudes to ourselves, to the potential wildness within us and shifts our interaction with even the most ordinary wildernesses – from backyards to window boxes to parkland. With beautiful illustrations, this gloriously uplifting book will both inform and transform reader’s daily lives.

The Wild Within invites us to see that the ordinary plants around us are not just scenery but companions, teachers and quiet invitations to belong more fully to the living world’ Tom Massey, author of The Resilient Garden ‘Spell-crafting prose… it has reminded me to remain alert to the enchantment that exists inside all that grows, whatever season of our lives we’re in’ Resurgence & Ecologist ‘[This book] provided companionship and succour, a deeper understanding of herbalism and a deep appreciation of the alchemy and intelligence of Nature’ Permaculture magazine 'The Wild Within is a gentle and beautifully written invitation to slow down and remember our relationship with the living world.
