Urban Nature Journaling - Melbourne CBD

Come along and explore some of the urban nature in Naarm / Melbourne's city centre. We will meet at Tasma Terrace (a heritage building saved by the National Trust and community members) and with the extended daylight hours, we will wander and explore nearby urban nature.

Nature journaling is about slowing down, observing something in nature and putting it on the page through drawing, writing, even numbers. We use a combination of science, creativity and mindfulness to explore the details of the nature we discover. Through this guided session, you choose what captures your attention and journal the details that are of interest to you. Nature journaling awakens our senses, deepens our knowledge, extends our observation skills and provides opportunities for wonder and connection to nature.

Join this friendly and relaxed nature journaling workshop, suitable for complete beginners and those experienced.

• No experience necessary. No need to be an artist or botanist, scientist or writer.

• All supplies are provided. We will use loose leaf pages, with graphite and coloured pencils.

• Workshop facilitator Kathleen offers tips, techniques, templates and personalised support as needed.

• Come as you are, and take home the nature journal pages that you create, a nature journaling handout, and some new skills to be more mindful in your everyday life.

If you are wanting to try something new after work, looking for a mindful practice while moving around or are curious about urban nature, this session is for you.
