Join a guided, hands-on workshop with Melinda Nakagawa designed to spark curiosity, inspire creativity, and deepen your connection to nature's rhythms, cycles, and patterns of growth.

The session begins indoors with light warm-up exercises and an introduction to the basics of nature journaling. Participants then head outdoors for self-paced exploration and journaling. This experience focuses on themes of nature and growth - observing how plants emerge, where they take root, and how they relate to their surroundings.


The workshop concludes with an optional time for reflection and sharing. Melinda helps participants engage deeply with the natural world, sketch and write with ease, and tune into its rhythms. People often leave feeling relaxed, inspired, and refreshed. If it rains, we’ll remain indoors with nature elements to explore.
