In this engaging and heart-centered conversation, I’ll share how families can use nature journaling as a simple, joyful, and powerful tool to connect with the natural world—and with each other.

We’ll explore how journaling in nature supports emotional regulation, creativity, and mindfulness, while also deepening ecological awareness. I’ll walk through easy-to-implement activities like “Sound Sketches,” “Color Hunts,” and “Texture Mapping,” and offer tips for making this a sustainable summer ritual for families.

This session will inspire attendees to slow down, tune in, and rediscover the magic of the natural world—one page at a time.
