Letting in the Wild Edges

undefined

Review ------ There is so much in this beautifully illustrated book: walking ideas, gardening and foraging inspiration, ways to use native s and s as food and medicine, and chapters on the cycles of seasons and festivals and how we can celebrate them. Kindred is evangelical about encouraging us all to benefit from the outdoors and allow the seasonal cycles of incubation and regeneration to be reflected in our own lives and she points out how it can contribute to inner resilience, holistic and healing. Letting In The Wild Edges is a challenge for us all to let go a little, to try walking barefoot in the grass, engage with the Earth and reflect on how this changes our world perspective. --Saffia Farr, Juno Magazine Glennie guides the reader into new ways of connecting with the earth, following a seasonal path. Each season we are given tips for foraging, growing, and recipes for both food and heating. By letting wild native edges into our lives, we can become truly self-reliant and lead a more sustainable and fulfilled way of life. --Pagan Dawn, magazine, UK Glennie is incredibly skilled at taking old knowledge and imaginatively applying it to our present lives. Letting In The Wild Edges weaves and extends this knowledge to guide us along the spiritual, emotional and physical routes meandering the edge. There is a really useful reference guide of her favourite native (UK) s; historical observations and how they influence the here and now; lots of ideas for practical activities, recipes for storing and using healing s; and of course many examples of mindfulness and spiritual connection practices. The book is for anyone who is at all interested in how we connect with our world and how exploring our wild edges can deepen this connection. I can't recommend it enough. --Katie Shepherd, Permaculture magazine About the Author ---------------- Glennie Kindred is the author of eleven books on Earth wisdom, native s and trees and celebrating the Earth s cycles, including Earth Wisdom (Hay House), A Hedgerow Cookbook (Wooden Books) and The Sacred Tree (self published).
