Return to Your Essential Nature

This book club is an invitation to shed the effects of over-civilization and explore an inner wisdom that is primal, ancient, and profound. Whether you live in the city or the woods, the insights and practices will bring you home to your wild, wise, and alive self. Join us for an online book club that creates a community to support exploring and discussing the practices of Rewilding.

Hosted by Charlyn Anandamai Reihman, this four-week book club will provide an opportunity to engage with Micah Mortali, author of Rewilding, lead Kripalu faculty, and the founder of the Kripalu School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership.

To know your true calling is perhaps the greatest desire within each of us, and yet few of us can say we know our purpose with absolute certainty. We will be discussing a time-tested guide—an ancient may—for discovering and fulfilling your unique calling.

This book club series will explore:

• The life-force deficit: how our separation from nature affects us physiologically and spiritually
• Ancestral skills such as tracking, foraging, and fire building
• Developing a sense of calm, clarity, connection, and confidence in your daily life and the great outdoors
• Your authentic spiritual connection with the natural world
• Discussing the relationship with health and healing of ourselves and our planet
• Mindfulness exercises, guided meditation, and inward sensing

This online program includes:

• 30-minute discussions between the author and the host
• Weekly journaling prompts
• Breakout sessions that include prompts and discussion points
• Large group sharing around themes from the reading and conversations

Required Reading: Micah Mortali, Rewilding: Meditations, Practices, and Skills for Awakening in Nature

NOTE: This is part of a book club series with authors of Kripalu lineage.
