Synopsis
A few years ago, the author got hopelessly lost on a walk through the Surrey Hills. With no map and no other walkers in sight, she did something unexpected: she asked a tree for directions. It answered. And it was right.
That moment launched a year-long journey in which 28 trees across England's forests, sacred groves, and ancient landscapes shared their stories with her: channeled aloud, recorded, and transcribed exactly as they were given.
An ancient oak, the sole survivor in a commercial plantation, speaks about loss and individuality. Twin yews guarding the Chalice Well at Glastonbury describe the sacred energy most visitors walk right past. A tree the Forestry Commission confirmed was dead still had something to say.
Their messages are surprisingly direct: slow down, stop performing your life, feel what's actually around you. And their suggested experiments—not just advice, but things to do outdoors—give you a way to experience it yourself.
This book is for you if:
- You love nature but sense there's a deeper relationship available to you
- You're curious about plant consciousness, animism, or tree communication
- You practice forest bathing, druidry, or nature-based spirituality
- You've read The Hidden Life of Trees and want to go further — from science to direct experience
What's inside:
- 28 channeled tree stories, unedited and unfiltered
- The author's honest narration — including her neurodivergence, her self-doubt, and why she almost published this as fiction
- Botanical and historical context for each tree species
- Practical outdoor exercises after every chapter, to deepen your connection with trees
- Journaling prompts, to explore your experiences with nature
"This is your work: to share our wisdom."
— The Newlands Corner Yew, the tree who suggested this book
