Nature Festival Workshop - Nature Journalling with Dr Tabatha Forbes

Immerse yourself in the nature journalling with Dr Tabatha Forbes
Consisting of a weekend workshop 10am to 3pm each day.
For those familiar with personal journaling or keeping sketchbooks, this creative workshop is a gentle way to combine creativity with a love of nature.
The workshop includes a ‘mindful walk’ and guided instruction from Tabatha to find your own style and voice.
As children we are encouraged to be curious about our world. Most of us remember the joy of discovering things in nature for the first time, like seeing a bird or insect up close, finding a
shell or bone in the sand, picking wild flowers or remembering the scent left on your skin after lying in the grass. For centuries before our phones documented the minutiae of our lives in mere seconds, nature sketchbooks were used to record what we were seeing and feeling when out in nature.
This workshop is an opportunity to slow down, to observe, to reflect, collect and record what we see - alongside our thoughts. It’s not completely introspective, but rather an opportunity to look at the brilliance of the living world around us and find our place within it.
