Experience the art and science of bird language through this experiential course. Learn the ancient skill of interpreting the voices and movements of birds and begin to understand where aerial and land predators may be, all while tapping into a deeper awareness of yourself and nature. When aware of the vocalizations and movements of songbirds, it’s possible to discover the presence and movement of predators such as coyotes, birds of prey, or even the neighborhood cat. This interactive class is sure to help you experience a deeper awareness and connection to nature that many have forgotten in these modern times.

Your participation in course activities will help you to:

• Deepen your relationship to nature

• Calm your nervous system & quiet your mind

• Improve your tracking and pattern recognition skills

• Gain tools that will allow you to be more attentive to your surroundings and sensitive to your effect on other beings and wild nature

While not required, participants are encouraged to attend the instructor’s Introduction to Bird Language online class on Wednesday, May 11, 2022.

We strongly encourage acquiring a copy of What The Robin Knows by Jon Young to supplement your experiential learning.

We are expecting that social distancing precautions and masks will be in place while at TreeSong in May.
