Learn about the joys of journaling in nature at the Reading Public Library on Thursday, August 27 at 6:00 pm

Reading Public Library (RPL), Reading, MA—Try hands-on nature journaling at a special Reading Public Library workshop featuring local author, writer, and journaling teacher Jason M. Rubin.

We exist within nature–it fills us with feelings of wonder and beauty. Yet we also exist within a world of overwhelming digital content, that contort ideas and imagination into bite-size nuggets that are rarely insightful or useful. Journaling is a creative and therapeutic hobby that allows for deep expression and rewarding escape–and all you need is a pen, some paper, and the great outdoors.

In this 90-minute workshop, local author Jason M. Rubin will guide participants in expressing themselves in writing and immersing themselves in nature as a means of promoting self-communication and self-healing. The workshop is designed for adults and teens (grades 6-12). Participants should come to the workshop with a blank journal and pen or pencil, if possible.

Registration required. This program is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Reading Public Library.
