Welcoming 2026 through Nature Journaling & Reflective Writing
Reconnect with nature, slow down and calm your mind. Start 2026 with grounded clarity and creative calm.
This is a gentle, wellbeing-centred nature journaling and reflective writing workshop to slow down, support calm and welcome what’s next into your life — no art experience needed.
Welcome.
As the year turns, this workshop offers a restful, reflective pause. An opportunity to slow down, notice what’s ready to be released and gently welcome what’s beginning.
What you’ll do:
In the calm surrounds of nature, we’ll use simple journaling, gentle drawing and reflective writing prompts to:
- quiet the mind
- ground the body
- open space for clarity and calm
- connect with nature as a supportive mirror
There is no pressure to create “finished” art. This experience is about presence, meaning, and personal restoration.

✔ You feel you’re in a period of transition
✔ You’re seeking calm, clarity, or grounding
✔ You want to reconnect with creativity gently
✔ You’re curious about journaling as a wellbeing practice
✔ You prefer unhurried, reflective experiences
No prior art or journaling experience is needed.
All levels are welcome.
What you will take home:
✔ a practical, nurturing framework for your journal
✔ tools for reflection and intention
✔ a quiet, grounded experience to carry forward into the year

Welcoming 2026 through Nature Journaling and Reflective Writing
I’m an artist, nature journalist, and educator working with drawing, journaling, and observation as tools for connection. Inspired by the Australian bush, my workshops and learning resources invite people to slow down, notice more, and engage creatively with birds, plants, and the landscapes around them. My teaching style is gentle and reflective, prioritising presence over perfection and curiosity over technique. I believe that learning to truly see nature is a vital step toward caring for it — I encourage closer attention to place and a deeper relationship with the natural world through creativity.
