Earthnotes: Mindful Nature Journaling is a workshop series for adults brought to you by The Nature Connection! Our goal is to help participants deepen their relationship with nature and experience a greater sense of wellbeing by providing the space and structure to engage with the natural world.

The program provides guidance and support in creating a personal nature journal (paper or digital). We’ll explore and observe how plant and animal life changes with the season through creativity, imagination, and documentation. Program time will be primarily conversational, as we take turns sharing any discoveries and questions that have come up during the week. We will also introduce a new nature journaling technique each week and practice it during the program. Journals can be in whatever format you want (photography/video, writing, drawing/painting, or spoken word). It is a tool for personal expression and observations – we want people to have fun with it!
