Join us for an evening with bestselling author and natural navigator, Tristan Gooley, as he talks about his new book The Hidden Seasons.
‘When we know what to look for and what it means, seasonal moments that were once hidden shine brightly.’
In The Hidden Seasons, Tristan Gooley shows us how to read the clues that the sun, moon, stars, plants, fungi, animals, water and weather give us – but that we continually miss, because we don’t know how and where to look.
Spring is the time of wildflower signs, unique cloud shapes and curious animal behaviour. Summer is a time of coastal clues, astronomical extremes and secret grass patterns. Autumn is a time for reading leaves, deciphering scents and investigating fungi. And in winter, we learn to read snow, deepen our star knowledge and use rare methods to find clues in overlooked places, including indoors.
As with Tristan Gooley’s bestsellers The Walker’s Guide, How to Read Water and How to Read a Tree, The Hidden Seasons inspires us to explore these signs for ourselves, giving us many rich insights into our turning year. Soon we will be able to anticipate and celebrate daily changes that few notice, however surprising they may be.
And the seasons will never look, sound or smell the same again.
