• Sensing Together: a More-than-Human Community

    Warner Park Nature Center 7311 TN-100, Nashville, TN, United States

    Join us for an evening with Humans & Nature Press's Gavin Van Horn, as we celebrate and discuss their newest book, Sensoria: Attending to the Wonder and Vitality of Nature. This timely volume offers readers new ways of understanding relations in everyday encounters that link our inner and outer awareness - embodied experiences that shape what we see, hear, touch, taste, and smell, and the way these perceptions can help us to attend more closely and respectfully to the lifeworlds of other-than-human creatures. After a presentation, reading, and Q&A, Gavin and other contributors will be on hand to sign books. Registration is required.
