Diary of Nature IV

Workshop - Music, Paper, and Pen

At the beginning, Johanna Almásy shows how to engage with nature - with attention and focus. We arrive from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and sharpen our gaze for the small wonders.

To set the mood for the workshop, Tim Martina Schäffer will musically prepare us. Drawing is already encouraged here.

Then we immerse ourselves in the tranquility of the Burggarten. Each participant begins their own nature journal. For one hour, we will draw, take notes, and collect in the Burggarten. What is seen, what is heard, and what might only be felt.

The nature journal grows page by page, like a walk without a destination.

At the end, we come together again. Those who wish can share something from their own nature journal, accompanied by tea and pastries.

For those seeking peace, you can stay and continue sketching.
