Our first session introduces ‘nature journaling’ ~ what it entails and some of the techniques that will set you on the path to confidently observe and record the details of nature that pique your interest.\nYou’ll receive your art kit and the tools you need to begin making marks and finding your unique nature voice.\nAfter lunch you’ll have time to settle in to the Homestead\, relax\, take a dip in the pool or get straight into your journal journey!\nLater in the afternoon we’ll gather to begin cooking our fabulous dinner featuring fresh local produce. Living in the Scenic Rim is Caz’s inspiration and she brings this joy to her classes. Her inclusive approach to food and cooking helps you “sharpen your culinary skills\, learn\, eat and have fun!”\nAfter enjoying the feast of our efforts ~ if it’s a fine night ~ star gazing is wonderful way to tune into the after-dark locals! \nDAY 2 Sunday 8 November\nEarly morning is glorious so enjoy some birdwatching\, yoga\, a swim or simply take your coffee to a quiet spot and breath deeply.\nAfter breakfast we meet with Fleur for a day of immersion in nature journaling.\nThe morning is a more in-depth exploration of techniques\, tools and effects that bring life to the pages of your journal. (Don’t worry – we’ll have practice paper for you too!)\nAlong the way we’ll learn about the special characteristics of many of the local plants as well as their traditional uses and hopefully spot some wildlife!\nThe afternoon session will most likely see us in a new location with different opportunities for creativity by one of the local creeks. \nBack at Tuckeroo there will be free time before dinner to relax and enjoy the surrounds. \nDAY 3 Monday 9 November\nAfter a relaxed breakfast we farewell Tuckeroo. Depending on the day and inclination we’ll choose a place for an easy walk with Journal in hand.  Morning tea somewhere lovely is the plan! Our weekend concludes late morning. \n*****************\nNATURE JOURNALING for life ~ this weekend is for you to take at your own pace. An opportunity to engage your mind and heart in nature.
