Coping with personal problems; Self-sufficiency; Traditional medicine & herbal remedies; Natural & wild gardening; Trees, wildflowers & plants

Echoing the journey of a plant itself, this is a personal exploration of rewilding and recovery.

In a series of 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, their folklore and medicinal properties, Brigit delivers a botanical journey to healing.

The Wild Within weaves together both the beauty, psychology and the science of reciprocity and non-human connections, and she shifts our interaction with even the most ordinary wildernesses - from city backyards to window boxes to woodlands.

Scattered with beautiful illustrations, this gloriously uplifting book will both inform and transform reader's daily lives.

'The Wild Within is a gentle and beautifully written invitation to slow down and remember our relationship with the living world. Through stories of plants, place and personal healing, Brigit Anna McNeill shows how nature meets us exactly where we are, as a companion in times of change and recovery... A thoughtful and heart-opening read for anyone drawn to plants, healing and the quiet magic of paying attention' Kaz Goodweather, Community Herbalist, Seed Sistas
