Commonwealth ClubTalk: Richard Louv on Noticing
What does it mean to truly notice the world around you? In an age of distraction, climate anxiety, and accelerating disconnection from the natural world, author Richard Louv invites us to slow down, open our senses, and rediscover the living world just outside our doors, and to find in that connection a source of hope and a reason to act.
Join Climate One and the Children & Nature Network for an evening with Richard Louv, the internationally bestselling author of Last Child in the Woods, in conversation with Jenny Park, executive director of Climate One. Rich and Jenny will explore the ideas at the heart of Louv’s newest and most personal book, Noticing: Intimate Encounters with the Natural World. Together, they’ll discuss what it means to cultivate what Louv calls “bioenchantment”: a deeper, more embodied relationship with the natural world that can restore our sense of wonder, ground our sense of self, and offer hope in a time that sorely needs it.
