Introduction to Nature Journaling

Make a date with nature: an introduction to Nature Journaling
On occasion we need to escape the day-to-day and spend a little quality time together. Nature journaling is a lovely way to slow down and give the natural world our full attention — to sit close, look a little longer, and let it surprise us. Like a good conversation, it builds calm focus, sharpens memory, and sparks creativity, deepening a bond that grows richer with time.
In this easygoing session we’ll record what we notice — through drawings, diagrams, words, and numbers — and try a few fun exercises together. We’ll cover the basics and explore from there.
No previous experience or special skills necessary. Basic materials will be on provided but bring a journal and if you already have one wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to sit outdoors for awhile.
