The Wild Within

What Plants Taught Me about Life, Recovery and Renewal

by Brigit Anna Mcneill

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.
