Mary Reynolds Thompson is a facilitator of poetry and journal therapy and life coach dedicated to bringing forth the Wild Soul Story. This new story is rooted in our oneness with nature and a vision of a world in which the wild landscapes of both Earth and soul can thrive. Her own connection to the sacred Earth has been key to her thirty-year recovery from alcoholism and grounds her in an understanding of how we can all awaken from the addictive trance of the modern world. She is also author of Embrace Your Inner Wild: 52 Reflections for an Eco-Centric World (White Cloud Press, 2011), as well as numerous essays on eco-spirituality. Core faculty for the Therapeutic Writing Institute and founder of Write the Damn Book, she conducts writing and eco-spirituality workshops and retreats throughout the world. Born and raised in London, England, today she lives in her beloved landscape of Marin County, California, with her husband, Bruce. www.maryreynoldsthompson.com
