The 2026 Thinking Like Water Summer Film got off to a great start Tuesday evening with about 60 registrants and over 30 showing up for our live discussion. After screening Episode 1, we started our Film Club conversation with the question of how people in the Film Club have learned to live and observe from the perspective of their landscapes. The theme of deep listening, to the land and to each other, emerged as an essential practice. As we wrapped up, participants shared what they’d be “Willing to Try.” Perhaps you might be inspired by some of their intentions this summer?:
- I am going to convert my lawn to a meadow.
- I’m going to reconsider/design my garden to slow water flow!
- I am going to get to know my local watersheds sensorially and begin mapping out local connections (social and issues the waterway is facing), as well as thinking about bringing awareness about the difficulties of lawns.
- I am going to go back to the first video to excerpt the sinuosity, channel width numbers that Bill cited (i.e. he had goals to increase XX sinuosity, yy channel width, based on some metrics he cited) and apply this to some goal setting I need to do for a project.
Share what you are “willing to try” and read more about our first session here.
Registrations remains open until next Tuesday.
