What happens to us when we're wild for a while?
Kate Gibson has spent her career asking one question in the wildest places in Australia: what happens to us when we’re wild for a while? What she’s witnessed thousands of times, on gorge floors and coastal trails, has made her one of the country’s most compelling voices on why humans need wild places, and each other, far more than modern life admits. She speaks, writes and leads experiences for people and organisations ready to ask the question with her.
