The Wild Becoming

A meditative and exploratory reflection on nature, healing, and transformation

Following four sacred plant allies - Mugwort, Violet, Yarrow, and Nettle - The Wild Becoming explores the human-plant-nature relationship and invites us to remember plants as guides, kin, and companions. Through Bernadette's lyrical and poignant prose, this book offers essential wisdom drawn from myth, dream, folklore, traditional knowledge, direct communication, and lived experience.

This book is a gentle invitation to rediscover our wildness in the edges, hedgerows, and dreamscapes, and to offer that wildness back to the world as a healing force. In a fractured, disconnected, and increasingly technology-driven world, The Wild Becoming is a reweaving of self and world through the thresholds of transformation, guided by plants, nature, and spirit.

Drawing on dream, journeying, plant spirit medicine, and folk traditions, The Wilding Becoming guides the reader through the veils of perception, the intelligence of the three brains, heart resonance, intuition, and the reclamation of imagination and sovereignty. It is a journey of descent and awakening, honouring love and grief, boundaries and nourishment, and the understanding that healing is ongoing and cyclical.

Ultimately, The Wild Becoming is a vital call to reclaim the wild, natural soul as medicine for a world in rupture.
