Nature Journaling and the Joy of Sketching
Slow down, look closer, and discover the joy of nature journaling. This welcoming class combines mindfulness, simple sketching, and easy writing techniques to help you notice the beauty all around you while creating a personal keepsake of your discoveries. No artistic experience required —just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
You'll learn how to quiet your inner critic, build a creative practice that fits your life, and experience the calming benefits of observing nature with intention. Led by writer and botanical illustrator Erika Walker, this class is about the joy of the process—not creating a perfect drawing.
- Recommended: Great options we suggest for you to attend on your own.
