Join us for a special lecture with scientist, educator, and author John (Jack) Muir Laws! His framework for nature journaling opens doors to rich discovery, creative thinking, and deep connection to place – and it’s accessible and welcoming for everyone. All you need is a notebook, a pencil, and your curiosity.
In this lecture, Jack will share his approach to journaling, and you’ll get to see how his close observation and curiosity take shape on the page in real time. Expect to be amazed, engaged, and inspired to start or deepen your own nature journaling practice.
