The Language of Nature – Learning to Listen, See, and Understand
July 21st, 2026
7pm - 9pm
In Person & Online
Location: Mutation Brewing Co, 5825 Roswell Rd NE, Sandy Springs, GA 30328, We will be located in the Speakeasy
From birth, we are given rules on how to live in a civilized world. We learn to read, write and speak a language. And most all of us go through an entire life never really hearing the natural world around us. Never really understanding. Never really caring to listen.
Yet, more and more studies are confirming that nature is talking…we just aren’t listening or understanding.
It took me most of my life to understand. It took countless photography trips deep into the Okefenokee Swamp and other wild places, alone. It took slowing down and listening. And what I came away with is beyond anything I could have imagined.
Mark will discuss making the film “Sacred Waters” and his solo trips over night capturing the beauty and life of the swamp.
He will be showing some of his one-of-a-kind images of the nature we are sometimes too busy to experience.
