Birding Workshop: Seeing the World with Wonder
About this Event
Join us at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary for a hands-on workshop called Seeing the World with Wonder: How Birding Makes Us Better People with award-winning writer, birder, lecturer, and cultural tour guide Julia Zarankin.
We will begin in the classroom with a seminar, followed by an exploration of the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary with Julia.
The practice of birding isn't just about seeing as many birds as possible. In fact, birding has a great deal to teach us about living a good life and being a better human being. Not only does birding help us feel more present, but it also encourages us to see the world with more nuance and empathy.
Sponsored by ZEISS Optics.
