Nature Journaling: Finding Clarity Through Nature-Inspired Reflection

Feeling stuck on a challenge at work or in your studies? This nature journaling session offers a gentle, hands-on way to step back, observe, and see it from a new angle.

You'll be guided through each step by facilitator Kumkum Dubey (Ecologist and Environmental Educator, founder of EnvironmentallyAbled), so there's no need to know where to start.

Using a plant as your inspiration, you'll slow down and look closely, then use what you notice as a lens for reflection. No drawing experience needed. This session is about self-reflection, not artistic skill; your insights matter more than how the sketch looks.

Across the hour we'll:

🌱Settle in with a short belly breathing exercise to help you focus

🌱Choose a challenge or problem you'd like insight on

🌱Observe and sketch

🌱Reflect on how what you noticed connects back to your challenge

🌱Walk away with one key insight and a small next step

What's provided

All materials are provided by EnvironmentallyAbled, including journals, pens, pencils and colours, and a plant to sketch from. The session is guided throughout, so bring yourself; there's nothing you need to organise beforehand. That said, you're welcome to bring your own journal or materials if you'd prefer to use them.

Who this is for

Anyone navigating a work or study challenge who'd like a calmer, more reflective way to think it through, as well as anyone drawn to mindfulness, journaling or slow, reflective practices. No prior journaling or drawing experience required.
