“This conference was beyond wonderful. I was so impressed by the speakers, and I learned so much about so many different aspects of journaling in nature.”
“My start in nature journaling and drawing came through workshops with John Muir Laws, president of the Wild Wonder Foundation. I not only learned to draw, I discovered I could live more deeply in the moment, with curiosity, awe, and gratitude. It was restorative in a time of turmoil. I hope you can join me and share the joy.”
—Amy Tan, avid nature journaler, birder, bird artist, bestselling author, and speaker at our 2024 Conference
