About this Event

The natural world is a source of living wisdom. The stream has something to say. So does the wind in the branches, the moss on a wall, the path a crow takes across the sky. We will talk about traditions across different cultures that can help us access this wisdom and spend time outdoors tuning into it. Then we will bring those messages back inside to reflect, illustrate, and share.

The walk will start and end at the Malvern Branch. There may be uneven, unpaved surfaces along the route. Please dress and prepare accordingly for this outdoor program (e.g. gloves/mittens, hats, sunscreen, water, comfortable shoes). This program takes place rain or shine. In the event of severe inclement weather, registrants will be notified of an alternative date.

Presented by Clementina Consens, TPL's Spring 2026 Environmentalist in Residence.

The Environmentalist in Residence is part of TPL's Our Fragile Planet program series, supported by Friends of Toronto Public Library, South Chapter.
