Inspired by the wild spaces protected by the Harris Center and other local land trusts, nature guides Phil Brown and Ignacio Oreamuno have realized that you don’t have to go far to be inspired, or to find adventure and connection.

Their new guidebook, MicroExploring the SuperSanctuary, introduces the concept of MicroExploring, a new paradigm for discovering nature and finding your place within it. Join Phil and Ignacio to hear about their journey of developing this grounding practice, and for some exciting stories and stunning photos of places within the SuperSanctuary — both treasured and lesser-known. You’ll leave feeling inspired to seek awe and wonder in the ordinary.

7 to 8 p.m. at the Harris Center. Space is limited, and registration is required. For more information, please contact Susie Spikol. Co-sponsored with the Hancock Town Library.
