In May and June of 2021, I ran an online nature study course with about two dozen participants. I had three goals:

1. Help people create or deepen a personal connection with nature.
2. Learn how to run month-long online courses with over a dozen participants.
3. Test some hunches about the rationality material I’ve been working on.

One of my main hunches was that if you complete this course, you’ll find you’re able to study your own mind, or just about anything else, in the way a naturalist studies nature, with no further guidance. I obviously need more data, but the preliminary feedback looks promising.

A solo version of the course is now available for free through my website, thanks largely to support from the Long Term Future Fund.

If you want to get better at original seeing, I know of no better resource. I hope that some of you will try it out and tell me how it goes.
