Join us on 23rd September from 2pm to 4pm for a calming nature journaling and meditation session, led by our team.
In this gentle workshop, you’ll explore how journaling and mindfulness practices can deepen your connection to the natural world and support overall well-being. We'll begin with a short guided meditation to ground ourselves in the present moment, followed by an introduction to nature journaling as a way to observe, reflect, and engage with our surroundings.
You'll be encouraged to use words, sketches, or even simple observations to document what you see, hear, and feel in nature. We’ll share a few inspiring examples of nature journals and offer guidance on different approaches you can take. After a couple of warm-up exercises, we’ll spend time quietly journaling outdoors (weather permitting) or in a peaceful indoor space.
Scrap paper will be provided, but feel free to bring your own journal, sketchbook, or any materials you like to use.
Please note: This is a wellness-focused event designed to support creativity, mindfulness, and personal reflection. It is not a professional art or writing class, but a relaxed space to explore nature and creativity without judgment.
Materials and refreshments will be provided, so you just need to bring some creativity! This is a great opportunity to get out and about, meet people, have a chat and learn some journaling techniques! Taking some time for quiet reflection is great for relaxation and wellbeing, and we hope that you will be inspired to take what you have learned and keep journaling at home.
If you have any questions about the event please email nhsnwl.vmcommunitycorner@nhs.net and we would be happy to give more information.
