We’ve forgotten our interconnectedness with the living world, and with each other. We’ve forgotten that our rightful place of belonging is right here, in the sacred, ecological web of life. And that forgetting is costing us, as individuals and as a species.

Craig Foster knows this intimately. After years of burnout, he returned to his birthplace at the Cape of Good Hope and began diving into the Great African Seaforest every day. That daily immersion was healing. And it also reshaped his understanding of what it means to be human.

Craig is a leading natural history filmmaker, co-founder of the Sea Change Project, and Academy Award winner for My Octopus Teacher. His book Amphibious Soul is what Jane Goodall calls “an important book that will transform how we think about being human, and inspire hope.”

His message is simple and urgent: no matter who you are or where you live, you can recognise and reconnect to the wildness already within you and all around you.

Craig Foster is one of the most compelling guides back to our own wild nature.
