What happens when we truly pay attention to the natural world? Join us for a talk by naturalist Thomas Fleischner, Senior Advisor and Founding Director, Natural History Institute, Faculty Emeritus of Environmental Studies, Prescott College, on his new book, Astonished by Beauty (Torrey House Press, 2026), a thoughtful and practical guide to reconnecting with nature through natural history. With a series of brief, intimate stories from the Alaskan Arctic to the Amazon, Fleischner reveals how we may easily deepen our connection with the land and its creatures. Offering simple, grounded steps to nurture this meaningful bond, Fleischner’s book is part reflection, part guide, calling for a life lived with care, presence, and respect for the wild beauty that surrounds us.
