“Wild Nature” Field Study Report

First, consider what is “wild nature.” Is it the Blue Mountains? Sydney’s beaches? A city park? The Red Centre? Something entirely different? After considering this, pick a “wild nature” place that you want to experience and that you can access. Now, read this week’s Brown and Morgan (1983) reading to sensitize yourself and watch this week’s very short film on dadirri, an Australian Indigenous practice of deep respectful listening and quiet still awareness. Then, go alone and be in the place you’ve chosen for a minimum of three hours. Avoid hiking or other forms of constant movement. Instead, sit (or even lie down). Observe/immerse using all your senses. Bring your field study notebook and take detailed notes as you pay close attention to the following: • Sensorial reactions (yours and the more-than-human world’s). To get some practice in this before you head out, you can try these five practices with trees • More-than-human and other animals’ communication • Your own emotions, thoughts, and communication with the more-than-human world
