Field Journaling - group nature walks

A Simple, Beautiful Way to Stay Present, Creative, and Curious

This therapeutic group is inspired by the late artist Paulus Berensohn, whose journaling practice embraced presence, care, and the full sensory experience of life. More than just words, journaling becomes a way to communicate with your whole body, your senses, and the world around you. Whether it’s a recipe from today’s paper, a colorful sketch, or a moment of reflection, the journal becomes a ritual of returning to yourself and the original questions of life.

Each week, the same small group will gather outdoors to walk with nature and create, using journaling as a guiding practice. This is a practice of repetition, play, and curiosity—an artful, nourishing way to keep your creative spirit alive while being supported by a consistent group. When we have an appointment, we tend to show up—and showing up is the heart of this practice.

How It Works

  • A Structured Flow: Each session follows a simple rhythm—beginning, middle, and end—with light facilitation to guide our shared curiosity and creative exploration.

  • Commitment as Ritual: This is an 8-10 week journey with the same group. New participants won’t join mid-session, ensuring a stable and deepening experience.

  • Nature as Co-Creator: Sessions take place outdoors, allowing the environment to shape and influence our practice.

  • Supportive Community: You’ll move through this practice alongside others who are also showing up to explore, create, and connect.

Who Is This For?

Anyone who is looking to:

  • Develop a meaningful journaling practice

  • Explore creativity through simple, accessible methods

  • Feel more grounded, present, and connected

  • Nourish their nervous system and honor their sensory experience

  • Engage in an intentional, small-group experience in nature

How to Join

  • Registration is for a full 8-10 week cycle to honor the commitment and depth of the practice.

  • If only one person wishes to continue after a cycle ends, we will use a waitlist to gather new members for the next round.

  • Let us know you're interested by joining our WAITLIST. We will notify you when we have enough participants to begin.

This offering may expand to online and in-studio options soon, allowing those outside the area to participate. If you’re interested, please join our waitlist or fill out an interest form to stay updated.

Come walk, create, and explore the ritual of journaling as an artful practice of presence and connection.

There’s a lot of interest in instant gratification and although I understand the appeal and fall into that trap myself. It is not in the interest of who we are becoming, depth in our relationships and care for the places that don’t have easy answers. Although it can look like simple play and silliness, these are sometimes the practices that can bring us to the most complex parts of ourselves, to the most awe stricken beautiful moments and everything in-between. I believe in the value of the nonsense and the ‘nothings’. If this calls to you or sparks a mysterious curiosity to explore then let’s create magic.
