The journey to connect with nature and the wild self, inevitably encounters frustration, disappointment and grief for our treatment of the earth, as well as experiencing its beauty. But if you accept what is, if you listen and watch – the wild reveals itself and our animal self responds through our imagination. Singing at the Bone Tree was the winner of the 2013 Geoff Stevens Memorial Prize and is published by Indigo Dreams

She Who Walks With StonesBreaking The Spell is Rachael’s first poetry collection. She writes with insight and humour, drawing on many themes: nature, Goddess, her Jewish family roots and the journey through change, identity, loss, ageing and relationships.

Breaking the Spell arose from Rachael’s own recovery from low self-esteem, as well as her client work. She draws on a variety of approaches: cognitive behavioural methods, addiction recovery work, spiritual and creative techniques.
