An immersive, sensory journey of healing, one wild plant at a time

“I didn’t come to plants as a scholar or a healer. I came because I needed to find my way back into my own body.”

In this beautifully written book, herbalist and trained therapist Brigit Anna McNeill invites us into the wild as a guide rather than an escape. Through vivid, intimate chapters exploring common flowers and trees, their folklore and medicinal properties, she weaves her own story of recovery alongside the rhythms of the natural world.

This is a book about rewilding the self. About how cycles of growth, rest and bloom can support healing from trauma, stress and illness. Rooted in connection to plants, place and body, it reminds us that the wild is never finished, and neither are we.

Gentle, grounding and deeply nourishing. A botanical path back to belonging.
