Step away from the rush of daily life and slow down through the practice of nature journaling. In this hands-on, experiential workshop, you’ll explore simple ways to draw and write in response to the natural world, building your own unique nature journal along the way. By combining words, images, and observation, you’ll strengthen your ability to notice details, stay present in the moment, and capture memories of a special place. The session will begin indoors with an introduction to nature journaling techniques and strategies, including brief demonstrations, warm-up exercises, and examples to spark inspiration. From there, we’ll head outdoors to “wander and wonder,” allowing curiosity and focused attention to guide your observations. You’ll have time to sketch, write, and record what you notice, with gentle guidance in a supportive group setting. No prior art or journaling experience is needed. All materials are provided, though you’re welcome to bring your own sketchbook or unlined notebook if you prefer. This class will take place in person on the Stanford University campus. Please dress comfortably for walking and being outside. Enrollment is limited, so register early to reserve your spot. Request disability accommodations and access info.
