Season of Creation Series
September 4 - October 2, 2026
For five Fridays during the Season of Creation, we will journal using prompts inspired by this year’s Season of Creation theme: Living Water. We will explore the creek at The Trees and the web of life that it supports. We will look at creative ways to use water in our art and ways that we can nurture this habitat.
What is Nature Journaling?
Nature Journaling is a relaxing practice that deepens your connection to the natural world and sharpens your observational skills. We begin by carefully noticing the beauty and complexity all around us and then record our observations in our journals using words, pictures and numbers. No experience needed – you don't need to be "good" at drawing to enjoy tuning in to nature!
Things to Know
Bring a notebook, your favorite pen and drawing supplies (extra materials will be on hand). Sturdy shoes for walking on the trails, comfortable layers and a water bottle are recommended. We have camp chairs and seat cushions available.
We meet rain or shine. In inclement weather, we will journal on the porch.
Led by Liz Sappenfield
