gather & connect: Intentions and Nature Journaling

Join us for a tender and grounding way to welcome the new year.

🌳 We’ll begin with a slow, optional 30-minute walk around the valley, taking time to notice the season, the land, and what’s arising within us. ☀️

🍵 After the walk, we’ll gather inside Deep North, where we can grab a warm drink and a sweet treat, settling into a cosy space for reflection and creative journaling. 🍩

📖 The journaling time is open and unpressured. You’re invited to create a journal spread using writing, drawing, collage, painting, pressing, or any combination of materials you enjoy. 🎨

This is not about artistic skill or productivity, it’s about paying attention, setting gentle intentions for the year ahead, and connecting with yourself and others.

The gathering lasts around 2 hours, but you’re very welcome to drop in and out at any point, join for the walk, the journaling, or both.

This collective gathering is for:

🍃 Slowing down and grounding
✏️ Gentle intention-setting (no harsh goals, challenges or pressure)
💡 Quiet creativity and noticing
🫂 Warmth, conversation, and community

What you can bring:

📔 A journal, sketchbook or paper
🎨 Any art or writing materials you like (simple is perfect)
🧣 Warm clothing for the short stroll
✨ Curiosity and openness

This is a low-pressure, friendly space: sharing is encouraged but optional, and there’s no “right way” to take part.

Come as you are, stay as long as you feel.

🎟️ Please book to ensure your reserved spot, only limited spots available due to venue capacity.

Price: pay-as-you-can

Any small contribution helps hold the space and supports the care and time that go into hosting the gathering.

If cost is a barrier, please choose the option that nourishes you! If you wish to support this initiative, we are grateful for your nourishment.
