Rewilding the Urban Soul: Searching for the Wild in the City

Written by Claire Dunn

Narrated by Beverley Longhurst

Once upon a time, a burnt-out Claire Dunn spent a year living off the grid in a wilderness survival program. Yet love and the possibilities of human connection drew her back to the city, where she soon found herself as overscheduled, addicted to her phone, and lost in IKEA as everyone else. Given all the city offered - comfort, convenience, community, and opportunity - she wanted to stay. But to do so, she'd have to learn how to rewild her own urban soul.
Now, Claire swims in city rivers, forages in the suburbs, and explores many other practices to connect to the world around her. REWILDING THE URBAN SOUL is a field guide to being at one with nature - wherever you are.
