MicroExploring the SuperSanctuary: Mindful Meanders & Nature-based Practices

Join Phil Brown and Ignacio Oreamuno for a series of spring wanderings in tucked-away places close to the Harris Center. Based on Phil and Ignacio’s new book, MicroExploring the SuperSanctuary, each exploration will feature a different conservation property and focus on a different natural history theme related to the conditions that present themselves that day. Whether appreciating the sounds of birdsong, enjoying the sights and smells of spring wildflowers, or simply admiring the beauty of spring emerging, you’ll be guided through natural and cultural history and learn practices to more fully connect you to the natural world. Through ‘MicroExploring’ — the practice of focusing attention and intention on a smaller geographic area — and with the help of delicious Costa Rican coffee, your eyes will open to a heightened understanding of nature right in front of you. You’ll come away with a new appreciation for the land, and learn how to take MicroExploring with you, wherever you go.

This group meets Fridays, April 3 and 17, May 1, and 15 from 9 a.m.to noon a.m. at field sites throughout the SuperSanctuary.

Cost: $100 for Harris Center supporters / $120 for all others for the entire series. (Note: This ESI course will initially be open to those who wish to register for the entire series. Opportunities to register for single sessions will be posted here in the near future. Drop-in registration is $25 for Harris Center supporters and $30 for all others. Check back for updates!)
