UPCOMING EVENTS
Bird Kinship: A Journey Into Bird Language and Mindful Birding
ONLINE COURSE
Date: May 16th to June 11th
This 4-week program will bring together long-time birders, and folks who are brand new to the bird world, to join in a supportive community as we participate in simple yet potent practices that cultivate a quiet mind, bring relaxation, and deepen our kinship with birds.
We invite you to join us for an experiential dive into the practices of Bird Language and Mindful Birding! Over the course of 4 weeks from May 16th to June 11th we will be focusing on slowing down and relaxing your nervous system through tuning into the birds, while also building a relationship of reciprocity with them. By paying attention to birds’ vocalizations and behaviors, and striving to understand what they are communicating about in our neighborhoods, we also come to learn how our choices, actions and behaviors can support their well-being.
COURSE DETAILS
This program is designed to be accessible from your homeplace and to bring you into deeper relationship with your bioregion. We will meet via zoom twice per week for four weeks on Thursdays and Tuesdays. Thursdays’ calls are 1.5 hours and will include both educational and experiential elements. Tuesdays’ calls are 1 hour in length and are fully experiential, with the option to participate inside and outdoors. To increase accessibility we are providing two options to join on Tuesdays — one in the morning and one in the afternoon/evening. Participants are invited to choose one, or join both if they would like. All calls will be recorded so you can enjoy live or on demand.
