FYI: The 2023 Wild Wonder Nature Journaling Conference is September 13-17

"...share ideas, learn from each other, support each other, inspire each other, and have fun together in nature’s beauty."

Hiya!

I thought you’d like to know that the 5th Annual Wild Wonder Nature Journaling Conference is September 13 through September 17. It features workshops with some of the nature journalers I’ve come to love: John Muir Laws, Róisín Curé, Rosalie Haizlett, Mike Hendley, and so many more.

I’m attending as a participant this year, and I’m super excited! I’ve been wanting to attend for years. The Wild Wonder Foundation is a dream organization for me – combining art and science as a path of discovery so that we deepen our knowledge and appreciation for our biosphere. It’s very much aligned with the mission of Cricklewood, and I give full credit to this organization for inspiring me to create this space.

I hope to see you there!

I’ll be back on Friday with a new monthly theme and the first weekly prompt. Can you believe it’s August already? We’ll have lots to discuss. Until later this week…

This is the last day to upgrade to a paid subscription for 30% off.

July is my 6-month Substack-iversary! While we celebrate nature 365 days of the year, alas we are only celebrating this Substack-iversary through July 31, 2023. 

Why upgrade? In addition to the monthly post and weekly prompts you’ve come to love, you’ll also receive the Tiny Owl Dispatch twice a month. It’s a way to share in my journey to becoming a citizen scientist/naturalist/better human with more personal content about nature journaling in Acadia National Park and the surrounding area, my natural history illustration projects, and vlogs from the studio and field. Plus you also get my “podcast” Cricklewood Campfire containing stories, folklore, and folksongs with a nature theme (of course!), and access to the full archive. 

If you decide this is the right time for you to upgrade, I’m so grateful. Cricklewood exists with the support of its community. If this isn’t the best time for you, no worries – know that I treasure you and am so happy that you’re nature journaling with me!
