Katherine May’s bestselling Enchantment: Reawakening Wonder in an Exhausted Age is a balm for anxious times and an invitation to rediscover the feelings of awe and wonder available to us all. Katherine encourages each of us to experience life in all its sensual complexity and to find the beauty waiting for us there. This book was written at the height of the pandemic but we need its soothing and inspiring guidance now more than ever.

Our sense of enchantment is not only sparked by grand things. The awe-inspiring, the numinous, is all around us, all the time. It is transformed by our deliberate attention. The magic is of our own conjuring.

Feeling bone-tired, anxious and overwhelmed by the rolling news cycle and the pandemic age, Katherine May seeks to unravel the threads of a life wound too tightly. Could there be another way to live – one that feels more meaningful, more grounded in the places beneath our feet? One that would allow us to feel more connected, more rested and at ease, even as seismic changes unfold on the planet?

 

Craving a different path, Katherine explores the restorative properties of the natural world and begins to rekindle her sense of wonder. It is a journey that takes her from sacred wells to wild moors, from cradling seas to starfalls. Through deliberate attention and ritual, she finds nourishment and a more hopeful relationship to the world around her.

 

‘A total joy… Thoughtful, patient and beautifully written, like walking with a friend as dusk settles, this is the book your soul needs right now.’ Cariad Lloyd
