Nature Journaling with Dorothy Steinicke - Zoom/Online
Nature Journaling with Dorothy Steinicke
Sunday, April 18, 2:30pm-4pm
Spring has arrived and flowers are everywhere. We will spend this session
learning about, thinking about and observing flowers. Flowers have
tremendous diversity and are fascinating to look at closely. We will do a
little botany, some drawing and some writing. You are very welcome to join
even if you have no knowledge of flowers, drawing or writing. All you need
are paper and pencil although your experience will be enhanced if you also
have a magnifying glass and colored pencils or other tools to draw in color.
A lifelong lover of the outdoors, Dorothy has more than twenty years
experience encouraging people to a love for the natural world. She leads
hikes for children and adults in Topanga Canyon, Ballona Wetlands and
Dockweiller State Beach.

Be who you are on purpose. Have you spent any time thinking about who you are? Or why you are the way you are. Who helped to shape and form you? Who or what is inviting you to become the next iteration of yourself? What is your plan for your becoming? Or are you finished?
