CREATIVE NATURE JOURNALING

- Emphasis on capturing feelings, thoughts, and observations from the forest experience.

SAUNA & RELAXATION (optional)

- Participants can enjoy a log-fired sauna session in a secluded area next to the studio.

- The sauna experience is alternated with periods of cooling down, either in nature or with a cold shower.

CLOSING CIRCLE

- A final journaling session to capture insights and reflections from the day.

- Group sharing of experiences, thoughts, and creative expressions.
