Food for Life: Health and Nutrition through Plants

The Conversation

Talking about a long-held interest in health and nutrition that started years ago when her son said, “Mom, you’re always sending us articles on food and health. Why don’t you do something with that?” Her passion found expression when she was accepted as an instructor with The Cancer Project in 2008. Her professional career includes elementary teaching, child protective social work, and school counseling. In addition to presenting the Food for Life Nutrition and Cooking Class series, Joanne offers private cooking classes in her home.

Seasonal Guideposts

Location: The Plashes Conservation Area, 33 Plashes Drive, Dennis Port

A joint program of the daVinci Pursuit and the Dennis Conservation Land Trust (DLCT). Making your journal into a record of seasonal variations will be the theme of the final workshop in 2023. Within each of the seasonal periods there are different objects and events that are changing. Our ability to see these changes comes from the regular practice of nature journaling. We will explore how birds, animals, plants and trees, Weather, shy and landscapes, and seasonal celebrations affect nature and us. Come prepared to journey through a year on the Cape and prepare yourselves for the coming new year.

Please contact us to reserve your spot, or stay tuned for more walks to come!

An Introduction to Drawing in Nature

Location: Princess Beach Conservation Area, 200 Scargo Hill Road, Dennis Village

A joint program of the daVinci Pursuit and the Dennis Conservation Land Trust (DLCT). Many people feel that their greatest regret was nit having learned to draw. In this workshop we will participate in exercises designed to get our minds and hands working together to represent objects we see in nature. We will practice blind and modified contour drawing, quick gesture sketching, diagrammatic drawing, and finished drawing.

Fall: A Time of Gathering and Collecting

DCLT’s Tobey West, 272 Route 6A, Dennis Village (careful parking!).

A joint program of the daVinci Pursuit and the Dennis Conservation Land Trust (DLCT). With fall comes the magic of change. As we walk through the woods, we will collect objects from nature that symbolize the change we are experiencing around us. We will learn to record visually and in words as well as press objects into the pages of our journal to discover during the coming winter.

Using the Written Word: Exploring Nature Through Writing and Poetry

Town’s Coles Pond Overlook at Crowes Pasture (a bit of a walk from parking area, but worth the views!)

A joint program of the daVinci Pursuit and the Dennis Conservation Land Trust (DLCT). In this workshop you will explore how to create word pictures in prose and poetry. We will create simple ideas about what we are seeing and attempt to refine the written words into lasting images that we can combine with our drawings and objects in our journals. We will learn the power of writing regularly as a means of capturing the essence of who we are in the world around us.
