“In a world yearning for ‘right relationship,’ Jonathan Hammond delivers a powerful weaving of wisdom drawn from the cosmos, the psyche, the spirit, and the Earth to remind us of what we already know to be true: the language of nature is within us. It is etched into the deepest level of our being as a road map to be reawakened through the journey of rewilding. Jonathan is a true seer, a teacher of teachers, and a beacon of light in a world that has forgotten its natural origins.” —Stacey Gibbons, co-founder of Shamanic Reiki Worldwide; faculty at The Omega Institute, Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, and The Jaguar Path School of Modern Shamanism

“Jonathan Hammond is one of the most gifted spiritual teachers I have ever encountered, and his new book is Jonathan at his finest: brilliant, grounded, mystical, psychologically astute, and profoundly alive. It does not simply explain shamanism; it invites you into a direct relationship with your body, your spirit, your natural gifts of manifestation, and the living intelligence of the earth. Jonathan’s writing has the rare ability to make the unseen spiritual mysteries practical, personal, and healing. This book is a transmission into a new way of being in the world. I cannot recommend it highly enough.” —Aaron Lazar, Grammy-nominated recording artist; creator/host of The Impossible Dreams Podcast

“Having had the opportunity to know Jonathan through my breathwork community, I've witnessed his sincere commitment to inner work and conscious evolution. With courage, insight, and reverence for indigenous wisdom traditions, he reminds us that personal transformation and collective healing are inseparable. For anyone seeking a more authentic, meaningful, and conscious way of being, Rewilding Consciousness offers both inspiration and a compelling vision of what becomes possible when we remember our place within the living web of life.” —Christian de la Huerta, award-winning author of Coming Out Spiritually, Awakening the Soul of Power

“Rewilding Consciousness is a thoughtful exploration of what it means to return to an authentic relationship with ourselves, the living Earth, and the unseen world. Drawing from shamanism, Indigenous earth wisdom, animistic philosophy, psychology, and natural magick, this book weaves together spiritual practice, cosmology, and inner transformation into a compelling vision of human potential. Through practical exercises and deep insight, it guides readers in shedding limiting conditioning, reclaiming their authentic nature, and cultivating a deeper partnership with the living world. Richly researched and deeply inspiring, this is a valuable contribution to contemporary spiritual literature and a book that serious seekers and practitioners will return to again and again.” —Mat Auryn, author of Psychic Witch: A Metaphysical Guide to Meditation, Magick, and Manifestation

“I’ve interviewed hundreds of spiritual teachers over the years, and every once in a while, one comes along that doesn’t just teach you something new, but reminds you of something your soul already knew. Jonathan Hammond doesn’t ask you to escape this world. He invites you to remember your place within it. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of modern life, if fear has quietly become the lens through which you see the world, I can’t recommend this book enough. It’s a compass that gently points you back home. Back to the Mother. Back to yourself.” —Trey Downes, host of the Your Superior Self Podcast

“Jonathan Hammond has written the rare book that is both a map and a medicine. Rewilding Consciousness braids Hawaiian Huna, shamanic cosmology, depth psychology, and natural magick into a single coherent path back to our original nature—and it does so with the authority of a teacher who has walked every step of it himself. Hammond understands something essential: that healing the human psyche and healing the earth are one and the same act. This is embodied, rigorous, generous teaching, and it arrives exactly when we need it.” —Brett Bevell, author of Psychic Reiki; co-creator of The Reiki Divine Healing Card Deck

“Most spiritual teaching asks you to rise above the world. This puts you back into it, back into your body, back into the living earth you were made from. It’s grounded, it’s ancient, and it works. Rewilding Consciousness is for people who are done with spiritual bypassing and ready to do the harder, more beautiful work of coming home to their own nature. I loved it.” —Brian Scott, host of The Reality Revolution

“Blending philosophy, mythology, symbolism, social science, and psychology with a profound reverence for nature-based indigenous wisdom traditions, Hammond offers a novel perspective: that rewilding is not about escaping civilization, but about recovering a forgotten way of being rooted in presence, reciprocity, intuition, awe and, above all, truth. This is an invitation to remember who we are beneath the noise of contemporary life and to awaken a more authentic, embodied, and fully alive human experience. It reminds us that the path back to our truest nature has been beneath our feet all along.” —Garrett Stevens, chairman and president, Hemi-Sync

“I was moved by Rewilding Consciousness. Somewhere in the pace and noise of modern life, we’ve forgotten something our ancestors and Indigenous wisdom understood deeply—that we are not separate from nature, but part of it. For anyone wanting to live with greater connection, authenticity and purpose, while also caring deeply about our planet and the future we are creating, this is a must-read. It is the kind of book that can shift the way you see yourself, your relationship with the natural world, and the life you choose to create.” —Guy Lawrence, host of the Let It In podcast
