Nature Journal
Program

• 4 Days​​​

​​

This intensive is designed more like a retreat! You will explore new ways of seeing and experiencing the external world around you while following prompts to explore your inner world. Our attention is our most valuable personal asset, so plan to slow down, focus that attention and enjoy a spectrum of discovery!

• 1 Day

​

​Begin your nature connection journey by first connecting with the materials you'll be using. We will start our first day by making our personal journals from book cover to finished, hand-stitched journal. Then, we will create a palette of natural watercolor paints from earth pigments.

• 1 Day

​​

If you have a fear of drawing, this day should bring you some ease! We'll explore basic ways to break down complex things seen in nature into simple parts that can be easily recorded without the need to be "someone who can draw." Then, use your paints to add color and depth.

• 2 Days

​

For these last two days, we first practice a variety of observation and recording exercises and then put those to use in the field! From our local creek, fields, forest and river, you will discover new and beautiful ways of seeing.
