Bird Language Workshops with Andrew Turbill

September 2022 | Bundagen, NSW, Australia

We ran two nature connection bird language walks which are scientifically proven to generate positive emotions such as joy, awe, serenity, inspiration and gratitude.

We hosted two bird language worskhops with a catered lunch, where bird expert, Andrew Turbill, shared knowledge and insights about how we can connect deeply and profoundly with natural landscapes through paying close attention to birds. Participants shared experiences from their walks and connected with each other in a beautiful natural setting.
