SUMMARY:Nature Journaling: The Seasonal Round
DESCRIPTION:GUEST ARTIST: Jen Wozniak – Artist\, Educator\, and Nature Journaling Enthusiast\nNature Journaling: The Seasonal Round \nTwo Day Workshop – July 16 & 17 | 1:00 – 4:00 PM
  \nStep into the rhythm of the seasons with artist and educator Jen Wozniak in this inspiring two-day workshop focused on The Seasonal Round—a nature journaling practice rooted in the study of phenology\, or the seasonal changes in plants and animals throughout the year. \nIn this immersive\, hands-on class\, Jen will guide participants in starting or deepening their own “Perpetual Nature Journal\,” a place-specific\, multi-year journal that tracks natural patterns over time. Through observation\, drawing\, writing\, and discussion\, participants will learn how to document the subtle and surprising shifts in the environment—while cultivating a greater sense of connection\, belonging\, and stewardship for the land they inhabit. \nWhether you’re a seasoned naturalist or a curious beginner\, Jen’s approach blends scientific inquiry with creative expression to help you observe the world with fresh eyes. With her encouraging\, joy-driven style\, she helps participants set aside perfectionism and reconnect with the natural world through play\, curiosity\, and mindfulness. Join us for this engaging and reflective workshop\, and leave with tools and inspiration to continue your journaling practice throughout the seasons—and for years to come. \nAll materials are provided\, but feel free to bring your own colored pencils\, markers\, watercolors\, and notebook if you choose. Open to adults and teens 13+. Space is limited—register early! \nThanks to a grant from the Chippewa Luce Mackinaw Conservation District this class is now offered at a discounted rate. Regular price $120 per student. NOW only $80 per student. Take advantage of this generous support from our local partner and join us for this amazing workshop. \n____ \nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Jen Wozniak – Artist\, Educator\, and Nature Journaling Enthusiast Jen Wozniak is an artist\, educator\, and avid observer of the natural world whose work bridges the gap between scientific inquiry and creative expression. She teaches Art and Field Studies at Springwater Environmental Sciences School in Oregon\, where she encourages students to cultivate curiosity\, creativity\, and a deep connection to nature. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking from the Pacific Northwest College of Art\, Jen’s artistic foundation is rooted in detailed observation and storytelling through imagery. However\, she considers her greatest expertise to be her lifelong practice of approaching the natural world with beginner’s awe—a perspective that keeps her learning and discovering every day. \nJen’s passion for nature journaling has led her to develop a method of artistic engagement that helps both children and adults overcome self-judgment. Through her workshops\, she invites participants to reconnect with the natural world through play\, curiosity\, and an open heart\, bypassing the pressures of perfection to embrace the joy of observing and documenting the world around them. Her approach fosters a sense of wonder\, mindfulness\, and personal expression\, transforming nature journaling into a tool for both scientific discovery and creative exploration. \nWhether marveling at the delicate structure of a feather\, the intricate gills of a fungus\, or the shifting colors of a sunset\, Jen believes that every observation is an opportunity for learning and connection. Through her teaching\, she continues to inspire others to see nature—and themselves—through fresh eyes\, encouraging deeper appreciation and engagement with the landscapes we inhabit. \nExamples of Jen’s Nature Journaling
