One does not need to be an artist in order to create a beautiful nature journal that helps them capture memorable experiences immersed in nature.
During this insightful and introspective workshop, express your connection and experience with nature while journaling about what you see and feel. Applying learned techniques, embark on a stroll through the autumn-hued garden to engage in a variety of activities and meditations to capture lasting nature observations.
This program will take place partially or entirely outdoors. Please dress for the weather and wear footwear suited for walking on uneven paths and through wet areas.
