SKETCH-OBSERVE-CONNECT: (FREE) Nature Journaling Meetup

Bring your journal and join us outdoors for a relaxed, no-pressure creative gathering. Sit, sketch, write and connect.

This is not a workshop.

There’s no teaching.
No instruction.
No demonstration.

It’s simply a relaxed outdoor space for people who enjoy nature journaling or art journaling to practice alongside others.

Sometimes journaling alone is beautiful.
Sometimes it’s grounding to sit quietly in community.

This meetup offers:

• A peaceful outdoor setting
• Time to sketch, write or observe
• Quiet, easy conversation (if you feel like it)
• The ease of being around like-minded creatives

You might spend the whole time in quiet focus.
You might chat a little between pages.
You might simply enjoy the shared atmosphere.

There is no pressure to produce anything.
No expectation to share your work.
No requirement to be “good” at drawing.

Just bring your journal and your favourite tools, as well as your curiosity.
