Insights from Professor Ruth Baer’s talk on ‘Awe’ at the Annual Gathering 2024

It was a privilege to host Professor Ruth Baer's fascinating talk at our Annual Gathering earlier this month. She offered a unique exploration of the benefits of developing our sensory awareness, a review of research evidence on the benefits of using these skills when ‘sense foraging’ in nature, and how this, in turn, opens up the possibility of experiencing ‘awe’.

As we transition to a new season, we hope to inspire you to explore your own outdoors by sharing some of Ruth’s insights.
