We often look at nature from the same perspective, depending on our interests. If we are drawn to its aesthetics, we may focus on the form or the feel of nature. If we like immersing ourselves in the systems of nature, we’re ecologists. This workshop is designed to help participants observe nature in various ways and grow their relationship with the natural world. Attendees will record their observations in a nature-journaling format to capture new perspectives and walk away with ideas on how to relate to nature. There’s a world of discovery with every natural encounter.
