Diary of a Forest Monk

In a land of towering pines, wolves, and secret lakes, people leave behind the trappings of society to become forest monks, delving deep into meditation, martial arts, tracking, foraging, and the skills of our ancient ancestors.

This is the story of one such forest monk.

Kenton Whitman has woven together an account that, though fiction, is pulled from the experiences of the forest monks who attended ReWild University. From being charged by bears, suffering through Lyme disease, finding peace with mosquitoes, and discovering their inner wisdom, the extraordinary adventures of the forest monks have been blended thoughtfully together to give the reader a rare glimpse into what happens when modern humans venture into the wild.

For everyone who has dreamed of escaping into the wilderness to find themselves, Diary of a Forest Monk brings you along for four months of adventure, learning, facing fears, and discovering who you really are.

Other books by Kenton and Rebecca Whitman include Chasing Turkeys and Becoming Dungeon Master.
