• Explore how nature journaling can move you ... Whether seeking reprieve from a fast-paced world, rest for a weary soul, or simply the wonder of the unknown, nature beckons us to come. Play. Wander. Reconnect with ourselves and like-minded people who also seek the freedom found in the arms of her wild beauty.
• ... fostering discovery ... This nature journaling class begins with choosing a few gifts (pinecones, leaves, stones, etc.) that speak to you, using them to awaken the memory of the senses. Time to explore the farm in solitude will follow to ramble, dream, write, sketch, and process. We will reconvene to share our experiences, validate each other’s discoveries, and discuss how we can leverage our creative instincts.
• ... and advocacy. There is a collective grief among those who love nature. Despite years of recycling, planting trees, and beach clean ups, the destruction done to her continues to escalate, forcing humankind and nature into smaller areas of living, eating polluted food, and breathing toxic air. As any journalist knows, first hand accounts are a key tool in moving the hearts and minds of those who might otherwise choose not to prioritize an issue. And while articles in magazines can reach vast audiences, it is most often our reasoned, insightful, and well-expressed witness to those closest to us that wields the most influence.

This class is also an opportunity to gather together and listen to nature’s voice, learn to frame language, and discuss practical steps to invite others to join us in caring for the only home we have.
