Mary Reynolds Thompson, founder of Live Your Wild Soul Story, is an award-winning author, internationally recognized speaker, and a facilitator of poetry and journal therapy. A pioneer in the spiritual ecology movement, her focus is on the transformative power of landscape archetypes and nature metaphors to reveal our true purpose and right relationship with the planet.

Thompson’s own wild soul was awakened as a child, riding a pig called Ramona over the dusty trails of Southern Italy. Since then, she has trekked all over the world, and her connection to nature continues to sustain her decades-long recovery from alcoholism. She can be reached at maryreynoldsthompson.com
