Tristan Gooley | The Hidden Seasons

In this talk, The Natural Navigator Tristan Gooley will show us how to read the clues that the sun, moon, stars, plants, fungi, animals, water and weather give us, but that we continually miss because we do not know how and where to look. Spring is the time of wildflower signs, unique cloud shapes and curious animal behaviour. Summer is a time of coastal clues, astronomical extremes and secret grass patterns. Autumn is a time for reading leaves, deciphering scents and investigating fungi. In winter, we learn to read snow, deepen our star knowledge and use rare methods to find clues in overlooked places, including indoors.

Tristan will inspire us to explore these signs for ourselves, giving us many rich insights into our turning year and teaching us to anticipate and celebrate daily changes that few notice, however surprising they may be.

The seasons will never look, sound or smell the same again.
