Tracking Nature

     TRACKING NATURE is something we all do already.  We check for the weather and temperature.  We water the plants.  We figure where the closest cheapest gas station is when the tank is on "E".  The way our mind works can be compared to an operating system on a computer, to say what lists we regularly check for, how we adapt to change during the day and our system for prioritizing.  Roshiki Arbor aims to improve  capability for "tracking nature," simply meaning to upgrade the naturalist portion of our operating system as little or as much as we have an interest to.

     Tracking Nature is guided self-study.  This includes a weekly meet-up, activities to be completed and feedback consultations and adding a few short simple routines to our days and weeks that take very little time, but can be expanded to be as in-depth or intensive as we like or have time for.  There is an academic type component that can be worked on at whatever pace is easy and enjoyable.  Coursework runs on a schedule of several week blocks that continue ongoing, but do not overlap.  Empiricism is an extremely valuable tool, but nobody wants to treat every moment of life as a science experiment, there is more, there is art and living. Different seasons bring different subjects to the front that are easier to look at when they are right outside your door and not in a book or an image from online. Roshiki Arbor here provides templates for common of subjects and items to prioritize as well as ideas for best approaching them for a clearer, simpler and more comprehensive ability for tracking nature, that's it.  Fairly cool ability to be able follow more, so we know how it might affect us or just so we can just see more of what we want to see.  For example; the seasons, the tides, weather, the sky, better knowledge of critters, hunters, and birds, to learning what plants are edible (or not), good for crafty uses, tools or other personal interests and how we relate to those as People.  Consultations are not limited to an academic setting and may be offered or available in the field.
