Still Living: Rewilding The Self After The Climb
"I am in love with this book...get ready for a life changing read." Dr Emma Offord
"Full of soul stirring gifts for all readers." Dr Jenny Turner
What happens after the metaphorical climb?
When the summit has been reached but the landscape of your life is now unrecognisable?
When a diagnosis, trauma, loss or life-altering event has changed everything - how do you make sense of yourself and your life in the aftermath?
Still Living is a radically honest story of the mountains we never choose to climb and what it means to find our way home to ourselves when life has been irrevocably changed.
Through the guiding metaphor of a mountain, Asta traces her intimate journey of breast cancer, chronic illness, ME and identity rupture - from a trauma-aware and neurodivergent perspective.
Rooted in a nature-based and embodied lens, Still Living explores what healing can look like when life has been fundamentally rearranged. This is not a story about being fixed, restored, bouncing back or returning to who you once were.
It is a story about learning to live in altered terrain.
About the slow cultivation of a new ecosystem of self in changed ground.
A remembering that we carry within us the embodied intelligence to begin again - even in life's harshest landscapes.
Deeply compassionate, Still Living offers strength, solace and a new language for life beyond survival. It is an invitation to rewild the self - not by returning to
who we once were, but by honouring who we are still becoming.
