Modern lives keep people inside urban spaces, cut off from the living earth, leading to anxiety, depression, and isolation. Micah Mortali addresses this divide by weaving together yoga, mindfulness, ancestral skills, and wilderness training. The book offers practical techniques designed to awaken primal energy, shedding the heavy effects of over-civilization to fully reclaim an ancient, innate wisdom. It treats nature as a living teacher capable of returning readers to their undomesticated core.
Praise for this book
“Rewilding is packed with beautiful information and practices to take you straight to the beating heart of true enlightenment--a willingness to be with Nature as it is, as our greatest teacher. Truly, Micah's book represents the next generation of authentic spiritual inquiry--a space where the wildness of communion with Nature can coexist with the etheric realms of our human heart.”
“Through this inspiring and insightful book, Micah Mortali reminds us of the importance of connecting to the earth and the surrounding environment as a teacher of deep meditative wisdom, as well as for health and well-being. The reader is invited to re-discover that they are part of the cycles and dynamism of life.”
“Rewilding addresses perhaps one of the most urgent issues of our time--a global nature deficiency disorder that is linked to a host of health concerns, including imbalances found in Nobel Prize-winning science on our circadian rhythms. This is must-read!”

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Mortali and Cope offer a compelling synthesis of yoga, mindfulness, and ancestral skills to address modern spiritual malaise. While effective for those yearning to shed over-civilization's weight, this book will not suit readers seeking rigorous academic anthropology or detached scientific analysis of ecology. It is less appropriate for those who prefer structured dogma, as it relies on personal, experiential awakening rather than fixed doctrine. However, for the spiritually curious urbanite feeling the pull of the wild, it provides a gentle, practical roadmap to rediscover intrinsic connection and shed societal constraints in favor of earth-based authenticity.
