Take a mindful break from your busy life and immerse yourself in a calming workshop that blends creativity with nature. This session invites you to slow down, observe, and express your connection to the natural world through journaling.
You will learn how to create and bind your own journal using simple, accessible materials and techniques. Once your journal is complete, the experience continues outdoors where you will engage in nature journaling—sketching, writing, and observing to deepen your appreciation of the environment.
This workshop is perfect for parents looking for a peaceful, creative outlet and a chance to connect with like-minded community members.
The workshop is guided by local artist Rebecca Prince, who will provide step-by-step instructions on making your own handmade journal. You will then be encouraged to explore nature journaling, a practice known to support mental wellbeing and creative expression.
This session is suitable for beginners and those wanting to reignite their creative spark. It offers a welcoming and supportive environment where you can learn new skills and take home a beautiful journal.
The workshop runs for 1.5 hours, providing ample time for both crafting and outdoor journaling activities.
The event takes place at the Torrens Valley Community Centre, located at 45 Albert St, Gumeracha SA 5233. The centre is part of the Community Hub, which includes the Gumeracha Town Hall and library.
