Nature Sketching & Journaling - California
August 29, 2026 — 9:00am - 12:00pm PT
Last day to register: August 27, 2026
Let's document the beauty of the world around us with a mindful morning of nature sketching and journaling. We'll meet up to discuss prompts and guidelines, disperse to mindfully sketch and journal, and return together to share our thoughts and creations! The park we'll be recreating in has ADA-accessible sidewalks with rails and benches to rest.
We ask folks under the age of 18 to please register themselves and an adult to accompany them. This event is intended for the LGBTQ+ community. If you require a service dog to attend, please let us know and we’ll collaborate with you on how to keep you both comfortable and hydrated.

Information for our land acknowledgment was gathered from nativeland.ca, which provides an estimate of original indigenous land occupation, but does not take into account migratory patterns or movement of the many surrounding communities. We recognize the historical complexity of indigenous movement across the land, and honor with gratitude the many, many surviving native nations whose land we benefit from in our work to diversify the outdoors.
