The Book of Awe Project: Exhibitions, Events and Publications

The Book of Awe Project explores the conjunction of open awareness and meditative flow states in an ongoing collaboration with awakened wonder, which inspires passion for protecting and collaborating with the natural world.

Awe is a song we hear, listening to barred owls, vireos and larks, remembering that birds taught human beings how to sing.

Wonder becomes a window to a recovered kinship with the backwoods, a slowed-down opportunity to access science-based curiosity once embodied in childhood. The inquisitive merging of science and artmaking defines an ongoing rewilding of empathetic interest in seasonal shifts, animal tracks, bird songs and habitat details of our ecosystems.

The Book of Awe Project provides community-building antidotes to Eco-Anxiety, pathways for engaging with the natural world, through photography, creative writing and mixed media artmaking, .
