Introduction to Nature Journaling

AN EVENING OUTDOORS - EVERYONE WELCOME

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 provided but bring a journal if you already have one, wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to sit outdoors for a while.

About the Instructor
Terry Smith
artist, teacher and cofounder of the Pollinator Posse, has journaled everywhere from her own backyard to far-flung destinations since taking part in the earliest Nature Journaling events with recognized expert John Muir Laws. She loves sharing the sense of wonder and discovery that unfolds through the practice — no matter what ends up on the page.
