Where should I start?

The Wilding books are thresholds: places where you can step onto your wilding journey. The Practice Keys open the doors. There is no fixed route, but here are some good first steps.

Know nature

If you want to know nature, Wild Awake is the ideal first step. Drawn to tracks, signs and bird language? You could start with The Invisible Wild instead.

Live wilder

If your curiosity is Wild Crafts, start with Everyday Wilder Living for tool skills and knowledge, then wander into A Walk in the Wild for gathering skills. Wild Wise, a cleverly woven web of learning and discovery, helps all the way.

Pass it on

You can start passing it on at any time, through Wild Guide.

Families & groups

If you work with families or groups of adults and/or children, try Wilder Together or Wild Sparks. Wild Awake is a useful first step too.

Coming soon. Jay is giving the ebooks and activity guides a final proofread before they go on sale as downloads. Ask to be told when they're ready.
