Reading Nature’s Language with Chris Gilmour
Free Virtual Webinar
May 21st at 7pm
COEO is happy to host Chris Gilmour for a free virtual webinar Reading Nature’s Language on Thursday May 21 at 7:00pm. Join our 2025 Make Peace With Winter keynote speaker Chris Gilmour, for a fun and inspiring evening diving into the “what” and “how” of reading Nature’s Language and the many ways this can enrich our lives and well-being.
The signs, sounds and smells of the natural world are an ancient language. A language being spoken by the birds, trees, weather and through the tracks of wildlife. Together they tell an intricate story of life, of changing weather, of history and of present events.
Presenter Bio: Chris Gilmour has spent over two decades working as a mentor in the outdoors and his entire life as a student of nature. Although he was an outdoorsy kid growing up, it wasn’t until his early twenties that he realized how little he knew about the intricate story of nature unfolding around him in the tracks, bird calls, trees, weather and more. This sent him on a lifelong journey to relearn the ancient ways of reading nature’s language. Today, Chris’s biggest passion is helping people tap into their full human potential, cultivate a healthy mind, and develop a practical skill set for the woods and modern life. Nature continues to be the guide, and Chris sees himself as a mentor and interpreter along the journey.
We are excited to bring back online events to engage our COEO community and beyond! Look out for future events in our newsletter or via social media. We hope you can join us for one of these events.
