Join the Academy Award winning filmmaker behind My Octopus Teacher, Craig Foster, for an awe-inspiring meditation on the power of nature and our place within it.
We homo sapiens are by nature wild animals attempting to exist in a docile world. So how can we reclaim our wildness in a world that wants us to stay so tamed?
A decade ago, living in a city and feeling exhausted and empty, Craig Foster decided to return to his birthplace—the Cape of Good Hope—and dive into the great African Sea forest each day. His daily oceanic adventures not only helped him “rewild”, but helped him come to see his own “amphibious soul” as a powerful metaphor for the human condition.
In this exclusive talk accompanied by incredible photography and never-before-seen footage of animal life, Craig Foster joins writer and broadcaster Kate Humble to share his extraordinary adventures in the natural world, challenge us to consider our personal relationship to nature, and inspire us to help save the global ecosystem.
He will show us how to nurture our individual wildness, tap into our empathy, and deepen our love for all living things. He will teach us to track the wild around us, and by doing so become present in the moment and revel in being wondrously alive.
Tickets to this event are half price for members of How To +, and members can also watch the livestream for free.
Praise for Craig Foster’s Amphibious Soul:
“This book isn’t about learning how to be wild but rather a guide to recognising and reconnecting with the wild in and around us. It is a book that will inspire hope.” — Dr Jane Goodall
“Craig Foster has spent every day in the ocean for years, tracking underwater animals and finding a deep sense of wildness. Amphibious Soul is about connecting to our humanity in the heart of the world, at the tip of Africa. This book will guide you to find your own wild heart wherever you might live.” — James Cameron
“An intimate guide to the wonders and mysteries of the ocean and human nature.” — Yo-Yo Ma, Cellist
