7 Days of Nature Journaling + Guided Audio

Seven days to look more closely at the living world, and perhaps at the life you are living within it.

7 Days of Nature Journaling is an illustrated collection of seven contemplative essays and gentle exercises in Attentive Wondering. Beginning with familiar things — a leaf, a seed, a passing sound, a feather — each meditation opens into questions of memory, change, uncertainty, imagination and belonging.

Included are two complete illustrated reading editions: one specially laid out for phones, and a wider edition for laptops and tablets. Both contain the same seven essays and accompanying exercises, so you can choose the layout that is most comfortable for you.

Written in slow, reflective prose, the collection is intended to be read at your own pace. There is no requirement to be artistic, to identify plants or birds, or even to go outdoors. Each essay is followed by an accessible invitation to notice and reflect. You may simply consider the questions, use your own notebook, or print the optional exercise sheets.

Your digital download includes:

• Phone edition (PDF) — seven illustrated essays and exercises, formatted for comfortable reading on a mobile screen
• Laptop and tablet edition (PDF) — the same complete content in a wider page layout
• Printable exercise booklet (PDF) — seven simple black-and-white pages with room for writing or sketching, if you wish
• Guided audio (MP3) — Before You Begin: An Attentive Wondering Practice, approximately 11 minutes

The printable pages are optional. You do not need to print the reading editions, purchase special materials, write, or draw in order to take part.

This is a digital product; no physical item will be posted.

The wild remembers. So do you.
