we are stardust

Come and join us for a midsummer evening nature retreat in the beautiful wildflower meadow of Leys Nature Reserve, Bedfordshire.

WILDFLOWERS, POLLINATORS & ABUNDANCE | A midsummer evening nature retreat

10 July 2026, 6-8.30pm
Leys Nature Reserve, Felmersham, Bedfordshire, UK

Summer meadows are alive with colour, insect song, and the quiet generosity of plants making seeds. Join Agnes Becker and Ruth Sneath for a midsummer evening at Leys Nature Reserve — drawing with flowers in your own concertina sketchbook, sweeping for insects, and letting the wildflower meadow remind you that what you've achieved this year is more than enough.

Limited to 10 places (8 left) | £47 per person

All ready to welcome you to Bromham Open Studios!

Who is coming along today?

Great to be part of Open Studios again this year.

Anyone local to Bedfordshire, come along to say hi and get yourself some beautiful locally made art!

Have you watched the Substack Live I did with poet celebrating the start of summer?

For each poem Katie read I made a drawing in 1-2 minutes with a local wildflower using graphite pencil, watercolours, elderberry ink and walnut ink.

We also talked about grief and love, living the life you desire and the world needs even during the climate crises and where we feel most inspired.

Search "We Are Stardust" on Substack or find the link in my bio.

🌻 And if you're ready to go deeper getting to know your local wildflower meadows this summer, the doors to my signature group programme Rewild Your Soul are opening soon - sign up to the waitlist by commenting "joy" below.

Wild journalling isn't art journalling or nature journalling. Wild journalling is where you draw with nature. Think berry inks, mud paint, feather brushes.

Drawing with nature invites you to loosen up and release the perfectionism that is trying to keep you safe.

Because when wild journalling it's not just your hand making the mark, it's also the twig or the grass or the wind. It's playful and joyful and messy.

And there's no way to get it “wrong”.

This is wild journalling and you can try it right now!
Because it’s not just your hand making the mark, it's also the twig or the grass or the wind. It's playful and joyful and messy. And there's no way to get it “wrong”.

This is wild journalling - try one of these 5 ideas and let me know how you found it.

And if you want to make wild journalling a part of your nature connection or art practice, you will love the Your Wild Journal course where you'll tart a nurturing wild journalling practice in 7 steps and find peace, wonder and playful creativity in nature.

Usually self-packed this month I'll be running a live round from 13-20 May 2026 so you can get your journal set up and be guided through your first entry with my support and the encouragement of wild journallers from around the world.
