The Art of Nature – The Basics of Nature Journaling *

Join us for this free hands-on workshop to learn the basic skills of nature journaling. Participants will make their own field journal and use their senses to explore our environment.

Nature journaling is a fantastic way to get away from the everyday hustle, bustle, and rush; and practice patience, observational skills, and creative expression. It can be an opportunity to get out and experience the great outdoors. Keeping a nature journal is a great way to become acquainted, or get reacquainted, with our natural world.

Nature journaling can help:

· Improve your mood

· Gain mental clarity

· Unplug from technology

· Boost memory

· Reduce stress levels

· Practice presence

· Improve critical thinking and problem solving

· Deepen your appreciation for nature

Join us for this free hands-on workshop to learn the basic skills of nature journaling. Participants will make their own field journal, use their senses to explore our environment, practice basic sketching techniques, and create a unique nature poem. No art skills needed! Materials, supplies, resources and door prizes will be provided.
