I’m Linny, one small human with a lifelong love of nature. There is nothing I enjoy more than being outdoors, exploring new places, connecting with the seasons, the weather, the infinite shifting mood and energy of it all. I need to be part of something bigger than myself, I think we all do!
I used to think the ‘wild’ was only found in wide open spaces – mountains or the ocean. Now I see it all around me, in meadows and woodlands, corners of car parks, grass verges, single flowers. I had to learn how to look. It is in ourselves too, we just have to set it free.
Wildhood is a collection of writings, activities, recipes and ideas that I hope might help you do this. Creating it has certainly helped me. I used to work as a Forest School leader so a lot of the activities are tested on children, but are also suitable for adults – I encourage you to let your inner child have a go! It is organised into monthly posts so you can pick something that might be most suitable for the season you find yourself in.
I’ll be adding more posts monthly, please join me on a re-wilding journey.
