About this event
We will do a classic tracking wander, noting details of animal presence and interactions in the environment. We will learn to move slowly, lower our profile, and open our senses to enter the easily overlooked world of track and sign all around us in nature.
Make the all-important shift out of our busy mental states into a calm and open sensory state--the true meditation of nature awareness, and learn how to let the animals lead us into a profoundly joyful and peaceful state of mind, a state of heightened sensory perception.
Richard Vacha: I have been teaching animal tracking in Point Reyes for the last 15 years and I'm beginning to get a good feel for it! We study everything from clear track detail to diverse feeding sign to build up a picture of ongoing animal activity on the landscape, including insects, birds, reptiles and mammals.
