There has been much recently about “rewilding” in terms of restoring the land as best we can to the state it was in before humans started to adapt it for their own use. Then there has also been stuff about rewilding ourselves inside in consciousness terms. This though is the first book I have seen about reversing a process of domestication which humanity has instituted on itself going back millennia. It’s not just wild animals that have been domesticated! Ren already teaches this in wild places in the American Pacific Northwest and the book is full of stories of her experiences, especially with her wild dog companions. There are also many practical tips, especially for those of us who don’t live in the wild, as it were. What does reversing domestication look like? This book shows us and will demonstrate how exhilarating it can be.
