Drop Into Nature - Forest Therapy and Nature Journaling

Join INFTA-certified Forest Therapy Guide, Cerae Mitchell, for a unique 3-hour Forest Therapy and Nature Journaling experience - an opportunity to slow down, tune into your senses, and cultivate a deeper connection with the natural world.

What to Expect

This gentle, slow-paced walk invites you to:
🌿 Engage in guided activities that foster relaxation and mindfulness.
🌿 Explore nature journaling - a simple yet powerful way to deepen your awareness of nature through creative expression.

No prior journaling or art experience is necessary - this is about observation, curiosity, and connection rather than creating "perfect" drawings or writing.
