Nature Journaling Club Launches at Lyons Library

Lyons Library has launched a Nature Journaling Club, offering a weekly workshop every Thursday and a monthly club meeting to encourage creativity and connection with nature. Additionally, they are hosting an Afternoon Art session to create a disco ball pencil holder, and a presentation titled 'Fall in the Foothills' to explore local autumn scenery. Author Banning Lyon shared his memoir, detailing his traumatic experiences in a psychiatric facility and the healing power of nature, emphasizing his transition from trauma to joy through outdoor engagement. Saidevi Sanjeeviraja, inspired by her childhood proximity to nature, established nature walks for children in Bengaluru, aiming to foster curiosity and a connection with the environment. Moreover, Monk Botanical Gardens in Wisconsin is introducing 'Grownups in the Gardens' events, where adults can learn about nature through hands-on activities. Overall, these initiatives reflect a growing trend of reconnecting with nature across different communities.
