June Events

It's that time of year again when nature journalers from around the world get together and celebrate nature journaling wherever they are. This year the theme is cycles of life. You can watch the "Journal Together" session replays online and all previous years' resources are available too, so don't feel restricted to doing it just in the first week of June. A wonderful theme that can be revisited or recycled throughout the year.

Location: At home, online, global!

Experience needed: None - also check the Getting Started page

What to bring: Whatever you have to journal with

Continuing the theme of this year's International Nature Journaling Week, this month's Meetup will focus on Cycles of Life. Choose one or more of the daily topics to explore either outside by the lake or inside the centre with live animals and interactive exhibits.

📍Location: Herdsman Lake Discovery Centre. Note $5 general entry to Discovery Centre (optional - can stay outside).

✍🏼What to expect: We'll start with a discussion of the theme (cycles of life) and the daily INJW topics, considering ideas on what to nature journal. Beginners can stay back afterwards for a brief introduction to nature journaling. There will be ample time for personal journaling during which you can ask for feedback or explore the surrounds and centre. At the end share your page and learn from others.

All skill levels are welcome. Children must be supervised at all times. Please register below if you plan to attend.

📖What to bring: A journal and your favourite mark-making tools. Some good walking shoes, a water bottle and maybe a snack or visit the Twitchers coffee window. Remember to slip-slop-slap-wrap if the sun's out, or an umbrella and raincoat if there's a chance of rain.

Cost: This is a pay-what-you-feel event. The suggested donation is $10/per individual and $20/per family, but it is up to you. Your support goes towards costs of running the nature journal club and is very much appreciated.
