This book is for advanced seekers ready to take their shamanic, magickal, and self-development journeys to a new level.
It is cosmological, psychological, ecological, and philosophical—a cross-cultural spiritual exploration of earth-wisdom and the animistic worldview of Indigenous wisdom traditions and ontologies. “Rewilding” is an ecological term that refers to allowing a natural environment to return to its organic, untampered state—where, without interference or outside agendas, it continually evolves into ever-expanding, more successful versions of itself. Likewise, this book guides readers through a process of inner rewilding—shedding cultural conditioning and rediscovering the uncorrupted truth of who they are.
The work is rich with journeys, practices, and exercises, as well as exploration of the philosophical and psychological forces that lead humanity away from an Indigenous, nature-based way of being into the toxic, patriarchal reality of separation that now drives our social, political, and ecological crises.
“In a world yearning for ‘right relationship,’ Jonathan Hammond delivers a powerful weaving of wisdom drawn from the cosmos, the psyche, the spirit, and the Earth to remind us of what we already know to be true: the language of nature is within us. It is etched into the deepest level of our being as a road map to be reawakened through the journey of rewilding. Jonathan is a true seer, a teacher of teachers, and a beacon of light in a world that has forgotten its natural origins.” —Stacey Gibbons, co-founder of Shamanic Reiki Worldwide; faculty at The Omega Institute, Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, and The Jaguar Path School of Modern Shamanism
“Jonathan Hammond is one of the most gifted spiritual teachers I have ever encountered, and his new book is Jonathan at his finest: brilliant, grounded, mystical, psychologically astute, and profoundly alive. It does not simply explain shamanism; it invites you into a direct relationship with your body, your spirit, your natural gifts of manifestation, and the living intelligence of the earth. Jonathan’s writing has the rare ability to make the unseen spiritual mysteries practical, personal, and healing. This book is a transmission into a new way of being in the world. I cannot recommend it highly enough.” —Aaron Lazar, Grammy-nominated recording artist; creator/host of The Impossible Dreams Podcast
“Having had the opportunity to know Jonathan through my breathwork community, I've witnessed his sincere commitment to inner work and conscious evolution. With courage, insight, and reverence for indigenous wisdom traditions, he reminds us that personal transformation and collective healing are inseparable. For anyone seeking a more authentic, meaningful, and conscious way of being, Rewilding Consciousness offers both inspiration and a compelling vision of what becomes possible when we remember our place within the living web of life.” —Christian de la Huerta, award-winning author of Coming Out Spiritually, Awakening the Soul of Power
“Rewilding Consciousness is a thoughtful exploration of what it means to return to an authentic relationship with ourselves, the living Earth, and the unseen world. Drawing from shamanism, Indigenous earth wisdom, animistic philosophy, psychology, and natural magick, this book weaves together spiritual practice, cosmology, and inner transformation into a compelling vision of human potential. Through practical exercises and deep insight, it guides readers in shedding limiting conditioning, reclaiming their authentic nature, and cultivating a deeper partnership with the living world. Richly researched and deeply inspiring, this is a valuable contribution to contemporary spiritual literature and a book that serious seekers and practitioners will return to again and again.” —Mat Auryn, author of Psychic Witch: A Metaphysical Guide to Meditation, Magick, and Manifestation
“I’ve interviewed hundreds of spiritual teachers over the years, and every once in a while, one comes along that doesn’t just teach you something new, but reminds you of something your soul already knew. Jonathan Hammond doesn’t ask you to escape this world. He invites you to remember your place within it. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of modern life, if fear has quietly become the lens through which you see the world, I can’t recommend this book enough. It’s a compass that gently points you back home. Back to the Mother. Back to yourself.” —Trey Downes, host of the Your Superior Self Podcast
