The Rewilding Yearbook - by Eleanor Cheetham & Maddy Winterbrook (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Discover how to re-wild your spirit and explore new ways of thinking, moving, and being in the world.

The Rewilding Yearbook is a year-long journey into connecting with your place as a part of the natural world. Based on a fierce but tender conviction that the world makes a lot more sense when we bring nature back into the heart of our lives and work, The Rewilding Yearbook takes readers on a journey into unearthing the wild within and forming a deep fulfilling connection with nature - and getting to know who you truly are!

Over the course of a year, learn how to:

• Rewild your perspective and shift your worldview from egocentric to ecocentric.
• Realign with cyclical rhythms, and flow with the seasons of nature, your body and your life.
• Reconnect with your roots cultivating kinship with yourself, others, and the more-than-human world.

In The Rewilding Yearbook, the concept of the "wild self" is fully explored as the reader is guided on a "rewilding journey" offering inspiration and encouragement in exploring their own wildness. The thirteen chapters are structured around the seasons, and the 13 lunar cycles of the year. In each season, a new way to explore the wild self is uncovered, and the lessons are applicable for everyone, whether the nature outside their window is a cityscape or rolling countryside - it's the wild self within that counts!
