Description
Vanessa Chakour explores the connection between our inner and outer landscapes through the lens of wild animals, examining the cultural belief that our animal instincts are to be corrected or corralled.
She draws parallels from her own life struggles to those of twenty-three wild animals, including wolves, sea lions, and beavers, to illustrate the importance of relying on gut instinct, magnetic attraction, restorative rest, and sacred bonds of love.
By exploring the struggles and triumphs of these animals, Vanessa offers insights into how we can rewrite our own stories and respect nature's wisdom, fostering a deeper connection with the natural world and ourselves.
