6 – Week Deep Dive Nature Journaling

Engage in the practice of Forest Bathing using mindfulness techniques, located in ENC's West Woods.

If you’ve connected with Dawn this summer, whether it be through Nature School or our Basic Nature Journaling, we’re excited to offer the next step: Deep Dive Nature Journaling.

This 6-week series runs Saturdays from September 5 to October 10, from 11:00 am–12:30 pm. Guided by Dawn Derrien of The Boho Apothecary, this expanded program builds on foundational journaling practices and invites participants to move beyond observation into deeper reflection and creative exploration.

Each session blends nature observation, simple sketching, and reflective journaling to support mindfulness, self-awareness, and personal insight. Participants are welcomed into a calm, supportive space where creative practice becomes a way of slowing down, noticing patterns, and exploring personal meaning with the natural world. No artistic experience is required.

This program is open to ages 16+, and requires pre-registration. Registration is $95 for the full six-weeks and closes on September 3.

Please note: Participants must be able to walk on uneven ground and be willing to sit on the ground or a stump (or carry a chair to our spot). Programming is weather dependent. While we strive to offer all advertised activities, some may be altered, substituted, or cancelled.

Date: Saturdays, September 9 – October 10, 2026
Time: 11:00am – 12:30pm
Location: Ellis Nature Centre
Cost: $95 per person
