How do nature and wilderness affect our emotional wellbeing? What is our relationship with nature? And how do we get in touch with the calm and wonder we can find in natural spaces?
Author and adventurer Miriam Lancewood, environmentalist, activist and founder of the Australian Greens Bob Brown, contemporary artist Patricia Piccinini, and Indigenous writer and anthologist Bruce Pascoe will talk about these issues and at a discussion of Embracing the Wild.
The idea is to put down the smartphone, close the laptop and embrace the wilderness and all of the joy, contemplativeness and calm it can bring. Everyone will leave the talk with a new perspective on wild places and how we relate to them.
