This class can be taken as a 4 week course or as a two hour workshop.

🌿 Nature Journaling Workshop (2 Hours)
Perfect for beginners or groups looking for a one-time creative experience. In this hands-on session, participants learn the basics of nature journaling—sketching, writing, and observing using John Muir Laws’ prompts “I notice, I wonder, It reminds me of…”. Everyone leaves with a finished journal page and the tools to keep exploring on their own.

🍃 Nature Journaling Course (4 Weeks)
For those wanting to go deeper, this series builds skills week by week. Each session focuses on a new theme—plants and patterns, animals in motion, landscapes and weather—while reinforcing observation and drawing techniques. By the end of the course, participants will have a collection of journal entries, stronger drawing and observation skills, and a lasting journaling practice they can continue anywhere.
