Wild Stillness: A Journey into Mindfulness, Creativity, and the Sacred Wisdom of Nature

By Jan Carey

Wild Stillness is more than a book-it's an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the sacred rhythm of life through the natural world. Blending mindfulness, breathwork, sensory awareness, creativity, and earth-based spiritual reflection, this beautifully crafted guide offers 108 gentle practices to help you return to presence, rediscover your inner stillness, and awaken your sense of belonging with the land.

Structured as a progressive journey, each chapter builds upon the next-beginning with foundational practices in presence, breath, and heart, then expanding into sensory exploration, nature-based art, storytelling, impermanence, and sacred ritual. The final chapters invite deeper integration and acts of giving back to the Earth with gratitude and reverence.

Rooted in ancient wisdom and shaped by personal experience, Wild Stillness speaks to seekers, nature lovers, educators, spiritual practitioners, and anyone longing for more peace, clarity, and meaning in their lives. Whether read cover to cover or explored intuitively, these practices can be adapted for individuals, families, classrooms, and community spaces alike.

Includes guided reflections, intention-setting, gentle journaling prompts, and poetic insights throughout-alongside inspiration from Australian landscapes, native flora and fauna, and the author's years of experience as a mindfulness educator.

This book is for anyone ready to return home to themselves-through the quiet wonder of the natural world.
