It's all very well to forage weeds and track wombats, weave baskets from willow and walk barefoot cross country... but how do you stay wild in the city? With kids? With a face-sucking phone in your pocket?

Claire joins Amrita Bradley for a conversation about connection with nature, its importance to our health and what may happen if we live our lives without consideration mother earth.

Claire joins Lady Farmer, mother and daughter team in the US, to dive deeply into the mysteries of nature and psyche.

They explore Claire’s year in the woods, what actually happens to the Western mind when removed from so much stimulus, how the Earth can hold our emotions, and how to emerge from such an experience. And in these times we find ourselves in, how can keep our wellspring of hope and vision alive?

In this far reaching conversation, Claire and Geoff discuss the re-mythologising our cityscape, the power of synchronicity, and those small moments that wake us up to the beauty of nature.

This one's a treat for you lovers of wild lands, you who are curious about wilderness survival, my dreamers and dreamworkers, and anyone seeking out their path in a world of so many possibilities, and so many needs. I knew that in conversation with Claire Dunn - who lived alone in the bush for a year, spent almost a decade in grassroots environmental activism, has authored two books, and facilitates vision quests, re-wilding, and the Work that Reconnects - there would be so many directions we might go. And that was even before I found out she loves dreamwork.

Imagine this: you live in a city or very urban environment, maybe close enough to a major highway that you can hear it, or far away enough from a space you consider a park to make heading there every day seem impossible. You can’t imagine really enjoying being outside all the time where you live because it’s just so not “nature.”

Claire joins Morag Gamble to talk about reconnection, belonging, the power of stories, and nature connection as practice not just peak experience.

What I personally love about this conversation is Claire’s beautiful presence and energy that she authentically embodies. In 2010, Claire embarked on a year of nature immersion, completing an Independent Wilderness Studies Program and it is in this conversation that she shares deeply about such an immersive and defining experience. Claire upon realising the distance between what she was trying to save through The Wilderness Society and the life she was living, took a leap of courage into nature and found that what she was longing for was also longing for her.

The ecological self in exile - A yarn with Claire Dunn. Claire Dunn is an author, teacher and mentor. She is passionate about fostering deep connection to earth, self and community, and ‘rewilding’ both our inner and outer landscapes.

Claire joins Meg Berryman for a conversation on transitions, rites of passage, regenerating culture and the most surprising lessons from her time living in the wild.
