Philosophy and Religion

Deep Listening to Nature is an invitation to open our ears to the natural world. Beginning by tuning in to the sounds of creatures around us, Andrew discusses how to identify species by call, interpret their communications and find empathy for their sentience. He also suggests that we not only listen to learn about nature, but learn from nature. He asks how, in our current environmental crisis, we may reflect on what nature has achieved in sustaining life as we move toward an ecological future.Andrew encourages us to be still and listen. Take our time. Extend our senses. Let nature get to know us, and in its own way, to welcome us.
