Nature lover, you are ready to nurture your creative spirit in your own wild journal so you can seamlessly weave your relationship with nature into your daily life and lean into the wild wisdom of the earth whenever you
need it.
You want berry ink stains on your fingers, mud splashes on your toes and a journal filled with leaves, flowers and insect paths.
You want to conjure your inner wild back to life through mark making with nature.
This is wild journalling.
As you make marks on the page with feathers, seeds, mud paint and berry ink your journal will become your book of enchantments filled with spells that nurture the landscapes in your mind and soul so they grow wild and free.
Welcome to Your Wild Journal
PEACE | WONDER | CREATIVITY
Your Wild Journal isn’t just a course for nature lovers. It’s an adventure for those who are done with being stuck in perfectionism and overwhelm and are ready to creatively play with the wild so they can seamlessly weave nature into their daily life.
In 7 days you will start your wild journal practice and identify how you will keep nurturing it beyond the course.
This first round is a LIVE beta round where I will be testing out ideas and asking for feedback, hence the reduced price. Lessons are ready for you to go through at your own pace (from 20 March) AND you will get live support from me via a group chat space (optional) and TWO live journal-along sessions.

“…Noticing the simple things in nature matters more than how much time we spend in it... [Research has] found that increases in noticing nature explained higher levels of wellbeing better than people’s increased visits.”
– Nature Connection Handbook, University of Derby
Testimonial | Magic and wonder
"I loved knowing that I can always come here because what Agnes offers, and the emotional stance she offers it with, are truly special. Her email communication, imagery and all the tasks have this air of magic and wonder about them which I need in my life."

Your Wild Journal is for you if..
-
You’re seeking a daily connection with your local earth, plants, wildlife, sky and water through the seasons.
-
You're craving a playful way of creating with nature - berry inks, mud paint, flower brushes - where you can explore and experiment without the stifling grip of perfectionism.
-
You want to get to know the wild on your doorstep and the wild in your soul through creative expression
OR if...
-
You feel overwhelmed with emails/washing/life and desperate to take a breath in nature where you feel alive and free. You’ve bought the journal but it’s lying dusty and neglected in the draw because you have no idea where to start in amongst the whirlwind of modern life.
-
You feel like there isn’t another moment in the day for you to reignite and nurture your creative spirit by painting with mud, drawing with berry ink and printing with seeds. Instead, you look enviously at those videos of folk in beautiful wildness online.
-
You are stuck wanting to do ‘art’ properly rather than let your inner child play again so you leave the journal you bought in its blank, pristine condition in case it’s the wrong paper or you don’t make the perfect drawing.
When you join the Your Wild Journal course and begin your adventure you will:
Start your wild journal without overwhelm...
in 7 days with playful and adventurous step-by-step 30-minute daily video lessons and written prompts.
Weave seasonal nature into your daily life...
by regularly filling your journal with pressed leaves, blossom paintings, muddy marks and insect paths.
Reignite your playful creative spirit...
and enjoy the process of making with nature in your journal all while releasing the grip of perfectionism.
Never run out of creative ideas...
of how to fill your journal through reconnecting with your child-like sense of wonder with the creative wellspring of wild journalling ideas.
Rediscover your wild self...
as you get to know the nature on your doorstep.
Your Wild Journal will teach you how to start a nurturing wild journal practice in 7 days
Created to feel like a fantasy adventure, you'll learn techniques and rituals to release perfectionism, do your first 3 journal quests (entries) and seek our the project that will keep you nurturing a regular, ongoing wild journalling practice.
This FIRST ever live round of the course will be a beta version where I'll be testing out the format and ideas in collaboration with you, as such you can...

Testimonial | Feeling free in the process
"I expanded my knowledge, love and appreciation of the natural world. My creativity was boosted with the gentle and playful guided techniques to try and the emphasis is on having a go and letting yourself feel free in the process rather than on perfection. Agnes is a wonderful, welcoming facilitator. It’s such fun to learn from her because of her passion and deep knowledge."

Hi, I'm Agnes Becker
I’m an artist, science communicator and creator of We Are Stardust. I know what it's like to yearn for more time outside where you feel grounded, whole and alive but life feels too full on and relentless to ever make nature a priority. I know because that was me 7 years ago with a newborn baby remembering the times I used to draw outside as a teenager and desperate to do it again.
In 2019 I discovered nature journalling and gradually my practice developed into wild journalling. Today my wild journal gives me the focus and space and reason I need to go outside and enjoy quality time with the more-than-human world on my doorstep. It’s also plays a huge role in my art practice.
Wild journalling is a gift to yourself and the world
“What is the duty of humans? If gifts and responsibilities are one, then asking 'What is our responsibility?' is the same as asking 'What is our gift?'”
– Robin Wall Kimmerer, Author, Braiding Sweetgrass
