I’m the author of wild self, a book born from years of listening deeply to people, places, and the natural world. My writing explores moments of pause, transition, and remembering, weaving ancient wisdom with lived experience to help you reconnect with what truly matters.
My Book…
Wild Self: A Guide to Britain’s Wild Wisdom
A lovingly curated guide to reconnecting with nature, ancient wisdom, and the wild intelligence within us all.
In Wild Self, I explore hundreds of transformative practices, rituals, and practitioners across Britain, from Celtic traditions and nature therapies to modern science and contemporary shamanic work.
This book is both a map and an invitation, offering pathways back to inner peace, embodied wisdom, and a deeper relationship with the land.
Readers are saying…
Wild Self is not a book you rush through, it’s one you live alongside. Emma Pruen has created something both deeply researched and profoundly felt. I found myself bookmarking pages, planning visits, and reconnecting with parts of myself I didn’t realise I’d lost. A beautiful companion for anyone longing to return to nature and meaning.

This book feels like a map, a mirror, and a gentle invitation all at once. Emma weaves ancient wisdom, modern science, and lived experience into something that feels grounded and expansive. I finished it feeling calmer, wiser, and far more connected to the land beneath my feet.

Wild Self opened my eyes to the richness of what already exists around us. From rewilding projects to shamanic practices, Emma writes with clarity, curiosity, and deep respect. This is a book for seekers, walkers, healers, and anyone who senses there is more to life than the surface.
