Bino-curious is a neuro-queer friendly event for folks with all levels of interest in birds, nature, and those who simply want to spend more time outside.
It’s an opportunity to explore local parklands and learn about the birds that live there, as well as appreciating other critters, plant life, fungi and geology.
The program is designed to provide informal education, while facilitating wellbeing by slowing down and noticing what’s around us – an ideal way to de-frazzle the nervous system.
We’ll engage in some gentle nature-based therapy practices designed to help tune into our senses, as well as some simple creative activities e.g. nature journaling, sketching found objects, photography.
The remainder of the year will see us move through the Wurundjeri seasons of porneet: tadpole season (Sep-Oct), followed by buath guru: grass flowering season (Nov) and garrawang: kangaroo apple season (Dec).
