Tracking & Perception

In this unique 3-day course, you'll approach tracking and naturalist studies in ways that invite you to see, touch, taste, smell and imagine your way into deeper levels of perception, connecting you with the animacy and intelligence of the landscape. Using elemental principles of artistic observation -- attending to line, texture, light, color, and form -- participants will experiment with slowing down, orienting to the elements, and inhabiting the questions instead of merely trying to "solve" them.

If you're looking to broaden your experience and deepen your skill in wildlife tracking and reading landscapes, this course will help you experiment with your own animality and modes of perception that conventional naturalist studies often tragically ignore.
