Join us for a relaxed, guided hike where we’ll explore the park with pen and paper in hand. Along the way, we’ll pause to notice the small details of the natural world and learn simple techniques for sketching, writing, and observing.

No art or journaling experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to look a little closer. This gentle walk is a great way to slow down, connect with nature, and start your own journaling practice.
