"When you show up for nature,
nature shows up for you."

Nature Journaling - Showing up for Nature
​
We live with constant demands on our attention.
It is difficult to slow down.
It is hard to pay attention to this moment, in this place.
​
Wherever you live in South Africa, you can miss out on showing up for nature. Even when you spend time in nature-rich spaces,
you may miss out on the benefits.
​
You may be:
-
moving too quickly
-
too noisy
-
too distracted to connect with nature.
​
Nature journaling is a simple way to create peace and quiet in your life - wherever you are. All you need is something to write with and something to write on.​
​
Recording by hand slows you down.
As you slow down, you relax.
You notice more.
You connect more deeply with nature.
