Reconnecting with Nature
through Journaling & Tea
Join us for a morning of Reconnecting with Nature Sunday August 17th from 8-11am.
Reconnecting with the natural world after a disaster can be difficult. We can hold on to fear and even resentment, blocking our ability to be at peace with nature. Nature provides us with peace, beauty, and infinite wonder. Reflecting in nature by focusing and recording our observations, thoughts, and experiences is a practice that can bring healing in times of crisis.
This workshop is free, and intended only for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color). If you do not identify as BIPOC, this is not an event for you. We will be hosting another public workshop in the fall!
Nature Journaling
Nature Journaling brings us closer to reconnecting and deepening our connection with nature while sharpening our observation and drawing skills. Artist Carolina Corona will lead us through the process of Nature Journaling, guiding us with various prompts to help us journal and sketch on the lovely grounds of the Southside Community Farm.
Tea & Reflection
Our workshop comes to a close with a one hour session of tea and community with Shunyu Huang’s Wild Flavors Tea project. Here we will come together and sit in stillness as we discuss culture and our many connections to nature around the globe.
Participants are welcome to continue working in their journals during this time, applying elements of what they learned earlier on into final sketches in their journals for the day.
