Botanical Art Retreat at The Ashokan Center

Have you ever stopped to admire a fascinating flower? Paused to pick up a lovely leaf, perhaps? Or been distracted by a brilliant bird or bug? If the answer is yes, you don’t want to miss this unforgettable weekend at the historic Ashokan Center in New York’s Catskill Mountains. Join us for a Botanical Art & Nature Journaling Retreat Rooted in Curiosity, Creativity, and Community. This retreat encourages us to explore, appreciate, and wonder about all the living things sharing this extraordinary earth with us. Learn from professional botanical artists and leaders of the nature journaling movement, not just in structured classes, but also in casual conversation over meals, in sketching side by side, and in touring the landscape together.

Instructors: John Muir Laws, Wendy Hollender, Carol Woodin, Vern Fannin & Pam Thompson
