ABOUT WALK WITH THE ANIMAL

Jim Lowery and Mary Brooks spent decades weaving intuitive tracking, with its ancient roots among indigenous trackers, into the skill set of modern trackers as a rich addendum to ‘Technical Tracking’.

This section of the Earth Skills website is an invitation to explore the principles and methods evolving from their field work, which has been tested and practiced by students in their long running Walk with the Animal series of workshops. The stories and insights of these students form much of the wisdom shared here.

We hope you will discover new ideas, methods and inspiration.

“WALKING WITH THE ANIMAL is about Developing a Relationship with the animal as we track: our attitude and state of mind, how we approach the trail and then How we Merge Intuitive and Practical tracking.”

~ Jim Lowery
