Nature Journaling at Circle Creek: Session 1
Register Here
Spending time in nature is increasingly recognized as soothing to the spirit and beneficial to our physical and mental health. It is in spending time in nature that we can enter the flow of life and realize that everything and everybody is connected!
Join KT Blue and Marilynn Blacketer, enthusiastic nature lovers, at Circle Creek Conservation Center this summer for a four-part nature journaling workshop series from July 23 to August 13. Together, rain or shine, we will be invited to walk, sit quietly in nature, journal, and share our experiences.
No journaling experience is necessary, and the sessions are free (registration is required)! Families are encouraged to participate. Basic supplies (including journal, colored pencils, and tote bag) will be provided for you to keep.
Participants are encouraged to sign up for all four workshop sessions, but it is not required. Registration for the August sessions will open July 1.
Outing Details: We will take a short walk to a spot where we will sit, observe and journal. No dogs allowed on site. Restrooms are available.
What to Bring: Sunscreen/protection, water and snacks. Please wear sturdy walking shoes and dress for the day’s weather. If you have a portable camp chair that you’d like to carry out to the journaling site, you’re welcome to bring that along. Mats will be provided for sitting on the ground.
