Tristan Gooley – “How to Read Water: Clues, Signs & Patterns, from Puddles to the Sea” – Jan 2017

NYC welcomed back Tristan for his new presentation on natural navigation. Despite the snow forecast, both Tristan and a lot of NYC Members braved the elements and were treated to another excellent presentation, in which Tristan gave more insights and examples from around the world and from his own journeys to demonstrate the different ways we can read water. From garden ponds to patterns in the Pacific, his talk was full of surprises.

If you missed his talk there is information on his website Natural Navigator
