Tracking & Perception: Unfolding Nature’s Story with Daniel Hansche
Tracking & Perception: Unfolding Nature’s Story with Daniel Hansche
Join us via Zoom on Wednesday, February 11th, at 7 pm EST
Join us in conversation with Daniel Hansche as they share their unique experiences of animal tracking & perception, and how these skills invite new ways of seeing and responding to nature’s unfolding story with greater ease, depth, and clarity.
For millennia, trackers have cultivated an exquisite vision of the world far surpassing the original function of providing sustenance and safety. Similarly, photographers have long-developed acute observation skills, expressing and reproducing what they see and feel. What do these embodied practices have to offer each other?
By approaching the natural world with the sensibility of a tracker, can we participate more intimately in nature's story? As we read the tracks & trails of the characters therein, how do we enter the story? Who and how do we want to be as we move along the landscape? With practice, can embodied perception invite a renewal of vibrancy, understanding, and most importantly, a way of remembering that we are always nature?
With Daniel as our guide, we will explore this dynamic confluence of tracking, perception, and story, and how this slow, connected, and embodied practice can enhance our relationships with the places we are called to love.
