Deep Listening to Nature

Deep Listening to Nature is an invitation to open our ears to the natural world.

Beginning by tuning in to the sounds of creatures around us, Andrew discusses how to identify species by call, interpret their communications and find empathy for their sentience.

Listening more broadly, on an ecosystem level, Andrew then asks the question: What does listening reveal about how living systems function, and why do birds in particular negotiate their interactions in such lyrical and extraordinary ways?

From this he suggests we not only listen to learn about nature but learn from nature.

In our current crises – both social and environmental – he asks how we may mimic what the biosphere has achieved in sustaining life as we move toward an ecological future, and in doing so, form a deeper cultural and personal connection to Country.

Andrew encourages us to be still and listen. Extend our senses. Let nature get to know us and in its own way, to welcome us.
