Discover New Hampshire Forests: A Nature Journaling Workshop

Slow down. Notice more. Let curiosity lead the way.

In a world that moves too fast, pausing to observe a tiny mushroom, the curl of bark, or the color of changing leaves can restore your sense of wonder and wellbeing. This 3-hour workshop invites you to explore the natural world through the dual lens of artist and naturalist. Participants will learn techniques to deepen their observational skills and begin their own journaling practice. No drawing skills required!
