Rewild Your Mind: Use nature as your guide to a happier, [...]
Packed with wilderness skills and traditional crafts - from fixing a hammock in the woods and foraging for hedgerow medicine to finding moments of 'wild' in the everyday - this unique book enables readers to boost their wellbeing through getting outside. It is an invitation to reset, recharge and 'rewild' yourself.
Weaved through the book is Nick Goldsmith's personal story of using nature to aid his recovery from PTSD. After several tours serving as a Royal Marine Commando in Afghanistan, Nick was left in a dark and desperate place. He tried conventional therapies but found true solace amongst nature, and now enables others to do the same.
Nick is an ex Royal Marine Commando and trained Bushcraft Instructor and Ethnobotanist. He runs Hidden Valley Bushcraft in the Southwest of England with his wife Louise. Their Woodland Warrior programme for veterans with PTSD has helped more than 200 veterans over the past five years - and more recently frontline medical staff. The programme featured on BBC One's Nature on My Mind in spring 2022.
