Welcome to the
Slow Birding Community

Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
— from Wild Geese by Mary Oliver
 
 

I'm very excited to be hosting this space where folks who are exploring Slow Birding can share their experiences and learn from each other. My intention is to create a space where people feel like they belong to a larger birding community regardless of knowledge, experience or motivation. If you are a birder who is looking for something a bit different than traditional, outcome-based birding. This community is for you!

 

 
 

The Slow Birding Community is free from the trappings and algorithms of social media and has been designed to capture your stories, experiences, images, and feelings about your personal birding practice.

It’s a place to let go of whatever has kept you from feeling like a birder.

It’s a place where you can ask questions and feel supported in your exploration of finding answers or sitting with the mystery of unknowing.

It’s a place to explore nature connection, spirituality, and wellness.

It’s a place to embrace all ways of knowing and connecting with birds.

It’s a place to connect with others who are practicing birding just like you!
