Please join us for Wild Perspectives speaker Art Burrows at The Collective on Tuesday, February 15, at 7pm, for “Finding Peace in the Mountains: Disconnecting from Modern Life”
Art Burrows is an adventurer (first free-heel ascent/descent of Mount Logan, Canada’s highest peak at 19,500’) designer (Scarpa T1 & T2), writer (Fifty Classic Ski Descents of North America), and photographer (ArtBurrowsPhotography.com). “These are all just excuses to spend more time exploring outside and taking more interesting photos,” Burrows says.
Burrows’ presentation will explore how he immerses himself in nature as a way to disconnect from modern life and technology. Through his travels and explorations, he is able to make quiet observations and deep connections with nature.
“In both the modern world and the past, we have struggled with the challenge of defining who we are on our own terms. Outside forces interfere with our true selves and our essential connection with nature. And it is not an easy equation to solve sometimes. The stress and responsibility of jobs, family, social influences, the addictive news cycles, climate stress, and covid chaos have taken a hard toll on our emotional well-being over the last two years. Tonight, we will take a fresh perspective and discover some healthy nature-based strategies. I’ll be sharing experiences and photography guided by words from many wiser than I who have gone deeper in order to understand our relationship and deep connection to nature.” – Art Burrows
