The Wild Silence – Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path, on the Meaning of Home
In 2016, days before they were unjustly evicted from their home, Raynor Winn was told her husband Moth was dying. Instead of giving up they embarked on a life-changing journey: walking the 630-mile South West Coast Path, living by their wits, determination and love of nature.
Along the windswept coastline, Raynor and Moth strove to find a way through homelessness, and ultimately find themselves. Raynor told their story in her memoir The Salt Path, inspiring us with her courage and conviction in the healing power of nature. But all journeys must end and when the couple returned to civilisation they found that four walls felt like a prison, cutting them off from the sea and sky that sustained them – that had saved Moth’s life.
So when the chance to rewild an old Cornish farm comes their way, they grasped it, hoping they’ll not only reconnect with the natural world but also find themselves once again on its healing path…
Don’t miss this chance to hear the next chapter in one of the most remarkable stories of our time: the tale of one couple’s inextricable connection to the land, and how, by exploring their past, Raynor came to terms with their future.
