Nature Journaling in Greece with Melinda Nakagawa

Nature journaling is about exploring the natural world and getting closer to nature by

sketching and writing about what inspires us. This process helps us focus in on details, so that we can discover

the jewels hidden in plain sight. You’ll develop a personal connection to the beautiful flora, fauna, and landscapes

of Greece while filling the pages of your journal – a special keepsake, a sensory scrapbook, to hold lasting

memories of your time in Greece.

Melinda teaches strategies to simplify drawing and quiet the inner critical voice so that you can truly soak in the

natural beauty. Her gentle, inclusive, and encouraging guidance brings even those who draw timidly to active

journaling. Anyone can learn to nature journal.

Explore the wonders of nature and travel with Melinda and your nature journal to memorialise your

experiences in Greece. From the azure Aegean Sea with white sandy beaches, to the lush evergreen mountain

landscape. Take in panoramic views of the sea and islands, walk the network of cobblestone paths, and explore

some of the 24 local villages ‘listed’ for their traditional architectural styles going back centuries. You will be in

Pelion during the magnificent spring when the mediterranean flora and fauna, many unique to this part of the

world, are at their most active.

If you are nervous about your sketching skills, there is no need to worry. With Melinda’s warm and encouraging

personality you’ll soon be nature journaling with ease. You’ll begin seeing things you might not have noticed

without your pen and brush in hand. Be open to learning how to sketch and see, and you’ll come away with a

nature journal capturing your personal journey on the Pelion peninsula.
