I’m super excited to take you on a wild journalling quest with me in my front garden (plus guest appearances from neighbours and the postman!) with some beautiful lichen on a fallen Ash Tree branch.
(Apologies for the sniffing - I have a slight cold!)
In this episode I take you through:
How I lightly plan my wild journalling quest with flexibility and compassion - this step is CRUCIAL to actually committing to the quest
The kit I take with me
How I ground myself into the moment
The questions I ask when wild journalling
How I track the colours of lichen in my journal without feeling the pressure of creating a ‘perfect’ detailed drawing
What the lichen teach me
How I give gratitude
My NEW course, Your Wild Journal, and all the support it will give you to start your wild journalling adventure
In the 20 minutes or so it took me to do this wild journalling quest I discovered a micro-universe on my doorstep and identified new creative projects to try.
Note - I cut some bits where I was writing and painting out of the podcast.

This is the Ash tree branch covered in moss and lichen. It’s part of my daughter’s den and fell from the Ash tree outside our house (perhaps Monk’s Hood lichen, Yellow Cup lichen and Map lichen?):
