Find a Nature Journal Mentor near you!
Learn from a nature journal teacher near you! Many of these teachers work with individuals, groups, and schools. A little coaching can help you, your family or students develop journaling skills faster. There are many wonderful teachers around the world who can help you.
I try to learn from many teachers and I am always a student. There is no one way to do this and if you only see the work of one teacher, you will start to think their way of doing it is the right way. Learn from everyone. Take and share as many ideas as you can. As you incorporate new approaches into your journal work, you expand your ways of seeing, thinking, a creatively engaging in nature.
