Mental Health Awareness Week | Sketching Nature
16 October 2026

Taking notice of the things around you is one of the key ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’ explored during Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW).

This year, join us for a special MHAW event where we will practice taking notice by sketching nature in the Ashburton Domain. Drawing in nature can be a meditative practice, allowing us to slow down and take note of the world around us.

This free event has been organised in partnership with Keep Learning Mid Canterbury, and will be a great opportunity to connect with people, nature, and your creativity.

Please bring a chair if needed. Materials provided.
