Mary Reynolds Thompson is an award-winning author, international speaker, and poetry and journal facilitator whose work flows from the fertile confluence of language, landscape, and imagination. She coined the term "wild language," a living practice of listening and writing in relationship with the Earth, through which our words—and our deeper nature—are rewilded. Working with Earth archetypes and nature metaphors, she guides people to shed domestication and answer the call of a creativity that is fanged, furred, and utterly wild.

Mary's own wild soul first stirred in childhood, riding a pig named Ramona along the dusty trails of southern Italy. Since then, she has walked desert paths, climbed mountain passes, wandered through forests, and followed rivers across the globe, finding in wild places both a source of wonder and the steady ground of more than four decades of recovery from alcoholism.

Through her books — Reclaiming the Wild Soul (Nautilus Award winner), The Way of the Wild Soul Woman, and The Wild Scribe — as well as through her global communities, Mary guides writers, Earth-creatives, and seekers into a wilder, more imaginative way of living. She invites us to return to the world, and to ourselves, with renewed wonder, devotion, and wholehearted presence.
