Nature Journaling at Como House

Come along and explore this calm urban pleasure garden in the grounds of Como House through the practice of nature journaling. Nature journaling is about slowing down, observing something in nature and putting it on the page through drawing, writing, even numbers. No need to be an artist or scientist to experience the joys of nature journaling.

This outdoor workshop will focus on part of the grounds, depending on what is flowering and in season. We use a combination of science, creativity and mindfulness to explore the details of what nature is offering on the day. Nature journaling awakens our senses, deepens our knowledge, extends our observation skills and provides opportunities for wonder and connection to nature.

Join our friendly and relaxed nature journaling workshops, suitable for complete beginners and those experienced. We will wander slowly in the incredible grounds, spend time with different nature treasures and capture our experience on the page. Workshop facilitator Kathleen offers tips, techniques, templates and personalised support as needed. All supplies are provided, including light refreshments. Come as you are, and take home the nature journal pages that you create, with some new skills to be more mindful in your everyday life.
