Thoughts while I am traveling:
Rewilding Ourselves: What Wild Plants Teach Us About Resilience
Spending time in my garden and observing wild plants, one thing becomes strikingly clear to me: they are incredibly resilient. These plants thrive in poor soils, under harsh conditions, without human intervention. They grow through cracks in concrete, cling to rocky cliffs, and weather droughts and storms. And unlike our carefully cultivated garden plants, wild herbs and weeds are remarkably resistant to pests like slugs or insects. They don’t need fertilisers, greenhouses, or constant care to survive — they simply know how to adapt.
This observation raises a deeper question: Why should it be any different for us humans?
Over time, as we became more “civilised” or “cultivated,” we also became more vulnerable. Our immune systems weakened. We became reliant on chemicals, supplements, and synthetic interventions to stay alive and function. Like domesticated plants, we often struggle without external support — physical, emotional, or pharmaceutical.
But what if we’ve simply forgotten our natural resilience?
I believe that reconnecting with wild plants is more than just a return to traditional food or herbal medicine — it is a symbolic and literal act of rewilding ourselves. When we eat wild herbs like dandelion, nettle, yarrow, or plantain, we are not just nourishing our bodies — we are taking in the intelligence of survival, of adaptation, of balance with the Earth. These plants have endured for millennia. Their bitter compounds, tough fibres, and rich minerals can strengthen our resistance — not only physically, but energetically.
Perhaps healing doesn’t lie in more control, more refinement, or more intervention — but in remembering our wildness. In becoming less dependent, more intuitive, more connected to the cycles of nature — just like the plants that grow untamed.
So the question is no longer just “Can we rewild the land?” but also:
“Can we rewild ourselves — from the inside out?”
I believe we can. And it begins with a single wild leaf, gathered with intention.
