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. 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 readers' daily lives.
