In Rewilding & The Art Of Plant Whispering, Rachel Corby invites you to join her on a soulful journey of self and spirit. A deep dive into living relationships, into remembering our place as equals among other beings. A journey of plant enchantment, where recognition of those other beings as animate, en-spirited and intelligent, opens the door to a whole new way of being.
This is a journey into deep ecology, where you will develop your natural capacity to communicate with plants. Discover a renewed sense of purpose and belonging as you unlock the sacred medicine of the plant realms. Find friends, allies and mentors among your more-than-human relations and let them guide you back into communion with this living animate Earth; and to a wilder, more hopeful, future.
"Rachel writes with a grounded integrity that flows as surely as the plant whispers and wild awakening that beckon us all. Her words are a persistent, persuasive and urgent call to action for us to act differently and embrace the spirit in all things in our animate and sentient world. This book is a poignant reminder that the time to help our planet is now and rewilding ourselves is an essential place to begin."
FAY JOHNSTONE, author of Plants That Speak, Spirits That Sing
Over the last millennia or so, as humanity has become more civilised, humankind has found itself increasingly removed from its own innate wildness. At the same time society has found itself beset with ever greater incidences of mental illness, stress, depression and antisocial behaviour.
In Rewild Yourself: Becoming Nature, Rachel encourages you to find the wild place inside and overcome a little of your own domestication, to rebuild connections and communications with nature allowing for a free-flow between the wildness of the world and your wild heart.
Considering many aspects of our modern lives, this book offers a path which leads to a personal and cultural transformation; a future where there is space for the wild to grow.
"...you will want to read it again and again. I absolutely LOVE it!"
GLENNIE KINDRED, author of Letting In the Wild Edges
"Rachel Corby... reminds us that our resilience, depth perception and ability to adapt, crucial skills during these times, are directly linked to our wildness, that part of our self that never left the Earth."
PAM MONTGOMERY, author of Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness

"The Medicine Garden, by Rachel Corby, is a breath of delicately scented air that fills the senses with joy. It is infused throughout with Rachel’s passion for her subject and is liberally seasoned with her own delightful anecdotes. One almost feels like her companion on a relaxing stroll through a beautiful garden on a balmy summer day. Her approach is friendly, her humour gentle and infectious, and she is open and generous with her knowledge. This is a book that can be dipped into time and again in a spare moment or as a reference manual, but it can also be read from cover to cover without ever becoming wearisome or repetitive."
