What We Can Learn from Nature

Nature speaks, but are we listening? Hear from a trio of in-tune experts – photographic artist and activist Leila Jeffreys (Temple, Vivid Sydney 2022), renowned naturalist Tim Low and the Meditation School app creator and author of The 7 Energies of The Soul David Gandelman – as they explore how improving your relationship to nature can, in turn, improve your relationship with yourself.

Drawing from personal experiences as well as their environmental efforts, this panel will jolt you into a more mindful space, and ask you to reconsider how we interact with the world around us. From beings big and small, there’s plenty we can learn.

Just ask Leila, whose work as a photographic and installation artist captures nature’s beauty and has deepened her understanding of the importance of interconnection and belonging for all living things. Add in Tim’s decades of research and writing (including best-seller books Where Song Began, Feral Future and The New Nature), which has provided invaluable insights into the natural world and its relationship to us, and David’s practical approach to mindfulness, and this is sure to be a perspective-shifting event. Join for a reinvigorated discussion about the relationship between art, nature and purpose, and the deep-seeded importance of protecting and listening to nature.
