Reconnect with Nature & Ourselves

We all start life with curiosity and a desire for adventure, but as we get older we can start to feel disconnected from others, nature, and our true selves. How do we rediscover excitement and adventure in our own lives?

Exploration & Creativity

In this class, I’ll share a practice that combines the benefits of nature, mindfulness, and creativity through exploration.

Being curious, learning how to see, and opening to the adventure of our own life, is the key to cultivating mindfulness and creativity in a joyful and meaningful way. 

Explore Your Local Nature through Sketchbook Drawing

Natural Explorer shares a simple practice of exploring, observing, reflecting, and creating. As part of that practice, this class includes Sketchbook Session demos of how to draw one of the most common & beautiful elements in nature - trees!

"It was an inspiring class, with helpful tips. Loved it and I will come back to it every time when my motivation is down. The most helpful part for me was the reflection, I feel pressured and always in a hurry. Hearing Mimi's questions, the invitation to breath in and out, and to reflect upon those questions is a practice that I will include in my art and nature adventures.”

FAQ

How can I watch this course?

There are two ways to watch this class:

The videos are the same but you can ask questions and get direct feedback by purchasing from Mimochai!

Will this class teach me how to draw?

No, it teaches a framework for exploring nature through sketchbook drawing. The Sketchbook Session features demos with detailed voiceover so you can follow along, but it does not teach drawing basics. For a comprehensive beginner-friendly class that teaches the skills used in the Sketchbook Session, we recommend the Drawing Foundations class.

How long will it take to complete the class?

The class has about two hours of recorded on-demand video, but it is designed to help you develop a Natural Explorer practice that you can hone and develop over time.

Is this course a live event?

No, this is a pre-recorded set of videos that you can watch on-demand at any time.

What materials do you use in the class?

My demos use IPad and Procreate, as well as watercolor and colored pencils. You can use any traditional or digital tools for the sketching portion of this class. I provide a list of my sketching materials and the supplies in my "Explorer's Kit" In the class.

Does this course have subtitles?

No, but we are working on offering subtitles in the future. The audio is in English.

How long will I have access to the course?

After you purchase, you will have permanent access to the course, so you can complete and revisit it at your own pace.

Is there a refund policy?

If you are not satisfied with the course, please email us within 14 days of purchase to request a refund.
