Land-Is Retreat in Cape May, NJ
About the Class
Spend three transformative days immersed in Cape May’s coastal landscape, cultivating your sketchbook/journalling practice as a conversation with land, ocean, and sky. Through observation, intuitive mark-making, and optional movement practice, you’ll be invited to listen to and express the stories held in nature’s shifting forms. We’ll be staying at a recently renovated historic house with convenient access to the Cape May Wetlands State Natural Area.
