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
