Nature Journaling Workshop

Nature Journaling Workshop
Henderson Environmental CentreGroat StNorth Beach,Take some time out for yourself to cultivate curiosity and deepen your connection with the natural world through the practice of nature journaling.
Through observation and wonder, nature journaling allows you to express creativity using words, pictures and numbers. You will develop a nourishing connection with nature which is known to improve physical and mental wellbeing. Nature journaling encourages a growth mindset by forming new neural pathways through learning new skills and rewiring the brain.

The group will gather at the environmental centre in Star Swamp Reserve which is a declared Bush Forever site featuring tuart, jarrah, marri and banksia woodlands. On arrival, you will be invited to switch off your phone to allow yourself to be fully present.πWe will commence the workshop with a guided meditation to engage the senses and tune in to the rhythms of nature.
πFollowing meditation we will take a gentle wander with nature to notice, inspire creativity or just be.
πThen you will be encouraged to allow your creativity to flow through a series of guided nature journaling activities.
πThere will be opportunities for insight, through reflection and discussion with others.
πThe nature journaling workshop will conclude with afternoon tea.
You will be guided by Belinda, a certified Forest Therapy Guide, Meditation Facilitator and environmental scientist. Belinda, through her own nature journaling practise, has developed a profound connection with nature and a greater awareness that we are part of something greater than ourselves.

Bird photo session with Georgina Steytler
Herdsman Lake Wildlife CentreCnr Flynn St & Selby StWembley,Join me for a fun and 100% dinki di FREE bird photography session at Herdies! I'll do some demonstrations of basic techniques (bring your cameras), answer any and all your questions on any topic (birds in flight, low light photography, market manipulation offences, price of bitcoin...) and, in particular, show you how to use light creatively to get high impact images like this one of a Great Crested Grebe taken at Herdsman Lake last year (Repeat this after me: "Creative Light Creates Drama"). Not only that, everyone attending will get a CHEAT SHEET of my top tips for getting artistic 'light-filled' bird images, whether it be backlight, sidelight, soft light, silhouettes, bokeh or even harsh light.
What's the catch? I am excited to be part of an International judging panel for a new monthly photography competition called WildArt Photographer of the Year (www.wildartpoty.com) and it just so happens that MAY is my month and my nominated theme is 'LIGHT! I rather rashly promised the organisers that I will raise the most money for my nominated charity: Bush Heritage Australia! So all I ask from you in return is to learn, be inspired and hopefully get some sock-rocking amazing images to enter into the May competition.
Ps: I am especially keen to get young people along as they are our conservation future so if you know any budding photographers be sure to bring them along!
Where: Front of Herdsman Lake Discovery Centre (lake side) on the lawn (Cnr Flynn and, Selby St, Wembley WA)
When: Saturday, 15th May 2021 at 9am for a couple of hours - -
