About this listen
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.

Inspiring!
A fantastic listen from start to finish. I really felt like I was right beside the author as she journeyed her way around the city. I loved it all. So many inspiring moments.

Weird
DNF with 54 minutes to go on the audiobook. It’s just too weird. It got even more spiritual towards the end. It’s just like her first book ‘My Year Without Matches’, except she’s in a house share by the river in a city. It doesn’t feel like the book is set in the city, though. She spends all her time at parkland teaching a group about connecting with the land, exploring the land & rivers, noting what animals hang around their sit spots & look out for their scat, going on a canoe trip down the river- they even go to hand built sweat lodge in someone’s backyard. I skipped ahead every now & then.
I was expecting more of a book about city living with natural experiences thrown in- farmer’s markets, community gardens, Guerilla edible gardens on nature strips, cultivating natural & edible gardens in your backyard or balcony, finding local food & handmade products. That kind of thing. But it’s was more tribal/primal than I was wanting. Perhaps you’ll love it, but I didn’t.
