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.

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.

A joint program of the daVinci Pursuit and the Dennis Conservation Land Trust (DLCT). In this interactive walk we will make and use our own paper microscopes. Each participant will receive a Foldscope. Foldscope is a paper microscope that combines low-cost affordable materials with precision optics to create inexpensive microscopes. The microscope is waterproof and opens the micro world to all participants. Come build and see what you have been missing in this family-oriented workshop. 

A joint program of the daVinci Pursuit and the Dennis Conservation Land Trust (DLCT). Making space and time to slow down is so important to our own health and well-being. During this workshop we will learn ways to slow down through journaling while in nature. We will bath ourselves in nature and reflect on a given place over time. How was it formed? What lives there? What makes it special? Why do things look different in this place compared to others? We will explore how we are feeling throughout the experience and see what changes happen to us as a result of taking the time to slow down.
