Spearfishing champ, chef and artist Kimi Werner on living in nature
In this wonderful TEDx talk, Kimi Werner, a free diver and fish hunter, uses her life’s story to illustrate a key lesson she learnt – that of slowing down when everything tells you to speed up. What really shines through is how her childhood memories of living in nature shaped her experiences later in life.
In this wonderful TEDx talk Kimi Werner, a free diver and fish hunter, uses her life’s story to illustrate a key lesson she learnt – that of slowing down when everything tells you to speed up. Her talk deeply resonated with me but not just because of the stated lesson. What really shines through is how her childhood memories of living in nature shaped her experiences later in life.
Kimi Werner hosts a NatGeo series currently running in India called “Living Free with Kimi Werner”. I haven’t seen the show but am told in it she travels the world to live with “people who are not just surviving, but thriving in the wild”.
UPDATE 18-Apr: A longer interview with Kimi was broadcast by PBS Hawaii.

If I were into species research, I would declare the discovery of Atulya Bingham as that rare new species that the world desperately needs. If I were a birder she’d be that exotic bird whose sight delights one every time. She is rare because she writes about nature in a way no one else does.
