Rewilding Graphic Novel

Rewilding is an illustrated myth for our time — a story about how we lost our sense of belonging in the living world and how we might find our way home again. Told through original paintings, drawings, and prose, it follows the arc from an animate cosmos to a mechanistic worldview: from a time when humans and nature were woven together, through severance and descent, toward renewal. In the imaginal underworld, the protagonist learns to listen again to the voices of trees and animals and to re-weave herself into the web of life.

Written and illustrated by Melissa Sobin. This is a project I completed as an accompaniment to my written thesis for my M.A. in Counseling Psychology program at Pacifica Graduate Institute (2026).
