Keynote Speech at Outdoor Learning Conference Sandwell.

I am getting excited about the keynote speech and workshops I will be delivering next week at the Outdoor Learning Conference in Sandwell, West Midlands, next week.

cycles and directions in nature sculpture making

I shall be talking and encouraging discussion about a sense of place – what is it? how do we feel it or engage with it? There will be some talk about different ways of connecting with a place – for example through the rocks and the soil, the plants, the tracking, the bird language, the humans and their stories, their buildings, their visions.

The workshops I have titled ‘maps and music from the land’ – ways of gleaning music and making maps outdoors.
