Naturalist, photographer, herbalist and author Madison Woods will teach nature journaling at the Hobbs State Park Visitor Center from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 22.
Nature is a treat for the senses but sometimes it takes effort to get past the immediate sensory input and experience a deeper relationship. Woods will lead the class on a voyage of listening, looking and feeling for connections that transport. The class will include an optional easy nature walk, a communing exercise, a discussion and practice of nature translation through words, art and photography.
Woods is the author of "10 Common Plants Worth Knowing (in a Long-term Survival Situation)," "American Ginseng & Companions," "My Nature Journal" and several other books. She writes a popular nature blog at www.wildozark.com. Her goal is "to bridge the gap between people and the natural world, to remind readers that we are part of a larger whole, and to celebrate that all we see is not always all there is."
Cost for the workshop is $15. To register, visit www.villagewritingschool.com or phone 479 292-3665.
