Looking Closer: A Nature Journaling Meetup at Heritage Park

Join us for a relaxed beginner-friendly nature journaling meetup at Heritage Park in Santa Fe Springs.

Nature journaling is the practice of slowing down to observe the world around us more deeply through sketches, writing, questions, patterns, and personal reflection. No art experience or science background is needed.

This meetup is less about making perfect pages and more about practicing attention together.

Heritage Park offers a unique setting with water, gardens, historic structures, and cultural layers that invite us to slow down and look a little closer.

What makes Coastal + Creek a little different is that we’re interested not only in nature journaling itself, but in shared attention: noticing place, memory, relationships, and the details we often move past too quickly.

Our theme for this gathering is:
Noticing Place

We’ll explore the relationship between nature, history, observation, and environment through simple guided prompts and quiet journaling time.

Gentle Agenda:
• Welcome + observation warm-up
• Beginner-friendly nature journaling introduction
• Guided journaling session
• Optional reflection + sharing

This is a welcoming space for adults, families, educators, artists, nature lovers, and curious beginners alike.

Bring:
• A journal or sketchbook
• Pencil/pen
• Optional watercolor or art supplies
• Water/sun protection
• Portable chair or blanket if preferred

Beginner friendly.
No experience needed.

Please RSVP only if you genuinely plan to attend. Space is limited, and removing your RSVP if your plans change helps make room for others who may want to join.

RSVP closes Wednesday, May 20.

See you there!
