GPS DETOX: HOW TO NAVIGATE IN NATURE WITHOUT YOUR PHONE
Nature is always making a map for us, and the land is full of clues and signs, though most of us have been trained out of this awareness by our digital tech. We will learn techniques for reading the landscape, expanding awareness, and amplifying perception used by wildlife trackers and our ancestors to forage and navigate. If you've ever wondered about how humans survived and thrived in wild environments, or questioned how to keep yourself from getting lost without using GPS, this talk will give you more knowledge and the confidence to safely wander off the beaten path. Jessica Carew Kraft is a California naturalist, a wild food forager, and author of Why We Need to Be Wild: One Woman's Quest for Ancient Human Answers to 21st Century Problems (Sourcebooks, 2023).
