Discover the world around you through journaling in a new class from the Pajarito Environmental Education Center (PEEC). During the month of July, Terry Foxx and Sue Watts will teach a class on how to slow down, observe, become curious and connect with nature through journaling. This four-week class will meet every Tuesday in July from 5:30 – 7 p.m. at the Los Alamos Nature Center (starting July 6 and ending on July 27). Registration is required at peecnature.org/events.
Participants will learn observation skills, make various kinds of journals and tap into their curiosity by using their senses. Class members will be challenged to dive into a specific journaling technique each week. The course includes participating in one field trip and a small journaling kit. Attendees will also make several kinds of journals throughout the month. Registration is required and space is limited to 15 participants. Admission is $12 for PEEC members and $15 for non-members. All materials are included in the course fee.
