Come Get Creative in the Wilderness!
Forest Bathing, Nature Journaling + Guided Woodland Meditation on the Foxhollow Farm Nature Trails
For this event you will need to bring a journal or sketch pad and your desired drawing tools.
I will bring assorted colored pencils, crayons, ink pens + a basic watercolor kit to share.
Please bring a small blanket to sit on and a drink. (no glass please)
You are welcome to carry a backpack as we will want to be hands free during our immersion into the woods.
Shinrin Yoku is shinrin, "forest" + yoku, "bath" also known as forest bathing, is a practice or process of therapeutic relaxation where one spends time in a forest or natural atmosphere, focusing on sensory engagement to connect with nature.
This forest bathing experience will begin with a nourishing mindful hike through the meadows and into the wild.
Once we arrive at our destination, we will pause for a guided wilderness meditation.
As we settle in to our sit spot for bird watching, sky gazing, insect examining and tree hugging you are welcome to roam free to gather inspiration in watchfulness.
At this time we will get creative! I will offer nature journaling ideas, guidelines and prompts. Drawing together sensory experience, mindful observation and deep nature connection, we will now become journalists recording our observations.
You are free to draw/sketch plant life, fungi, flora, birds, trees, insects and the like.
You are welcome to do crayon rubbings on foliage that's already fallen off of a plant or tree but we will not be foraging, wildcrafting, picking or removing any leaves, rocks etc. from the wilderness!
Our journaling time will be abundant, we will close our circle with an oath to Mother Earth followed by a mindful hike out of the wilderness.
This hike will be easy to intermediate.
No meditation or art journaling experience required.
This is a perfect time to begin your 2025 Nature Journal, just a few short weeks into Spring. I hope to offer this regularly throughout the year at the Farm, so you can return and note all of the seasonal changes!
We will meet at the Farm Market for this event.
