136- Kithship & the Art of Noticing with Steve Dudrow

What does it really mean to look up at the night sky? In this episode, we look at what it means to really know the place where we live and to be known by it. This relationship with place has a name in the Old English – kithship. And since half of the human experience takes place in darkness, this includes our relationship with the night sky. Steve Dudrow, author of The Art of Noticing and a desert night sky enthusiast, joins the conversation to explore how slowing down and paying attention can transform our relationship with the night. If you’ve ever felt like the stars were just a pretty backdrop, this episode might change that forever.
