And stay tuned for periodic announcements of our “Naturally Intelligent by Design” book creation journey. We aim to grow our creative resources here with you in the years to come. Enjoy!
NATURALLY INTELLIGENT BY DESIGN
A fine art picture book showcasing 365 animals from around the world
“Naturally Intelligent by Design” celebrates the natural intelligence of the animal kingdom throughout the year. Each day in the 365-day calendar year we feature one animal and share one design strategy, survival tactic, or community dynamic that enables that animal to live optimally, sustainably, and healthy among his community and in his home environment. The almanac is not specific to any one year, so the collection can be appreciated and read for many years to come. Naturally Intelligent by Design is a resource for you, your family, and those whom you love– to reflect on our human+nature+human connection. We hope the journey you take in reading this resource will serve as a guide to nurture your awareness of the amazing animal kingdom, inspire your aims to make positive changes in your life and world, and enrich your relationships to others around you and our natural world.
In the animal kingdom there is no waste or pollution; no drama or drugs; no deal-making and deal-breaking; just raw living, smart survival, whole community awareness, environmental adaptation, and I dare say, love. We can learn quite a lot from our animal kin; so open our book and take a look to begin, transforming within. It is our hope that this book will become a vital resource for us to thrive in a new, more conscious, compassionate world for as long as we are alive!
