In the next two episodes of the Mindful Birding podcast, we’ll be highlighting Nature Journaling as a Mindful Birding practice, sharing how incorporating this style of reflection as a mindfulness tool can enhance our experiences.
In this episode, we spend time with the highly creative Maine artist Rebekah Lowell, who is also an award-winning author, birder and avid nature journalist who teaches nature journaling to wide audiences of people. Rebekah is a survivor of domestic who found solace, peace, and joy through birds and nature. In this episode, we learn more about her work, process, and how you can get started with your own nature journaling practice.
