Resumen del Editor

In this stunning memoir, beloved internationally acclaimed earth advocate chronicles her journey to reconnect with the earth, offering a model for how we all can nurture the wild around and inside ourselves.

In 1991, twenty-four-year-old Lynx Vilden crawled out of a sweat lodge covered in mud, her face streaked with tears, and whispered a promise to the earth: “I will love you and cherish you, I will learn how to live and share what you teach me.” That promise became Vilden’s life purpose: to return to the ways of our oldest ancestors, to a simpler life, and to listen deeply to Earth and what she has to say. Over the next thirty years, Vilden’s mission would lead her far from the city streets and punk bands of London and Amsterdam where she was raised, on a long and winding journey spanning continents and seasons, and filled with indigenous wisdom, Stone Age hunting skills, and important lessons from nature.

In this illuminating memoir, Vilden shares the joys that await all of us when we reconnect with the earth, when we recognize what has been lost, and understand what we gain by meaningfully returning to our roots and become rewilded. Return is a glimpse into her extraordinary world—from stories about mentoring Silicon Valley millennials at her Stone Age immersion in rural Washington State to adventures traveling among Sami reindeer herders in Arctic Sweden to detailing the intricacies of just how to pursue and survive a wild lifestyle inspired by Stone Age humans.

This extraordinary debut ultimately invigorates our hunger to renew our bonds with the earth and awaken our wildest, most primal selves.

Thank you Lynx

Years ago I had the honor of sharing fires and stories as she and her second husband wintered on my neighbors property in Southern Arizona. This gentle, wild and legendary woman has been an inspiration to me in my life. I had always wanted to go on a trek with her. Thank you for taking us with you on this well written and melodically narrated journey.

Finding tribe

All of my life, I've felt lost and disconnected. I don't know if I'll ever experience the adventures that Lynx shares but I feel more at home listening to her stories. I imagine myself going on the journey with her and feel at peace. Seeking and healing, my life has purpose, with aspirations of the journey.

What an incredible book!

Well done! I was acquainted with primitive living skills as a youth, somehow I strayed from them. Perhaps I can return to some of them with this inspiration. This book spoke to my soul!

Vividness of the words and reading. Very poetic.

Liked everything! Author’s story telling is beautiful.
Hoping for a sequel. Thank you so much for telling this wonderful story.

I cried my way through this. I often dream of how I would attempt this feral journey. ✊🫶🏼✌️

Beautifully written and entrancing to listen to.

I loved listening to Lynx Vilden’s calming voice and learning about her adventurous life. She is very calming and eloquent and spiritual.
