John Muir Laws: Intentional Curiosity

"Curiouser and curiouser! Cried Alice (she was so much suprised that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English)."

–Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Curiosity is not a trait you are born with. It is a skill that you can develop and refine with practice. It is more essential than any drawing trick or tool and can make a nature journal burst to life. You can learn to be more curious. Review the results of the latest curiosity research and how that can impact you in your day-to-day life. Explore curiosity routines to help you find deeper questions behind what you see and learn the core strategies to help you find the answers.

If you are thinking ” I just want some drawing tips so maybe I will sit this one out” you really need to reconsider. This workshop can revolutionize the way you see, think, and journal. So tap into your inner “Elephant’s Child” and we will see you there.

All ages and experience levels are welcome. $20 suggested donation.

The class location is at Building 989 in the Presidio (behind the bathrooms next to the Warming Hut). Building 989 doesn’t actually have a street address (the Presidio can get pretty confusing – most of the buildings don’t have addresses!) It’s at the intersection of Long Avenue and Marine Drive, behind the bathrooms next to the Warming Hut Bookstore and Cafe. On the Google map above of the Warming Hut, building 989 is labeled “Pacific Coast Federation.” If you’re using mapquest or GPS, the best thing would be to go to the Warming Hut at 983 Marine Drive. We will put up a sign at the 989 building entrance and near the parking lot to point you in the right direction.

Please note: Park Academy classes are meant as a special perk for volunteers, members, and employees. If you do not work for the Golden Gate National Parks, are not a member, or have not volunteered with us in the past year, a donation is encouraged. Volunteer or become a member today!
