* At Nature Maldives, our programs are open to all ages. We believe that learning is richer when generations come together. That’s why we encourage people of different ages to share, learn, and create side by side - whether it’s children learning from elders, or older participants gaining fresh perspectives from the young. Our activities promote intergenerational connection, mentorship, and shared discovery.

This is an exercise where we immerse ourselves in the observation of our sense of ‘self’ and the fine line that separates us from the broader perceived ‘Nature’. The idea is to explore the liminal space between the ‘I’ and ‘Nature’, what it means without the rules and limitations of conceptual thinking. This connect encourages building a personal organic language rooted in abstraction and raw expressions. The process of writing without writing offers an opportunity for emotional / intellectual ‘release’ without pressure of aesthetic standards or focus on meaning.

- A brief introduction to the idea of ‘Asemic writing’ or abstract expression
- Mindful observations to become more aware of how we see patterns and arrange these to generate meaning
- A practice of taking a break from the usual rigid conceptual frame through which we observe and act on reality
- A shift to a more open and free form expression
- Guided exploration of the host’s process as a frame of reference from which participants can start exploring on their own

- Curious minds drawn to expressive, open-ended creativity
- Nature-inspired individuals seeking new ways to observe and reflect
- Those looking to unwind from rigid thinking and reconnect with flow
- Anyone interested in art, mindfulness, or journaling
- Anyone open to discovering personal meaning through abstract forms and patterns

- Comfortable clothes suitable for outdoor activity and craft work
- Sun protection items you prefer (hat, sunscreen, etc.)
- Refillable water bottle
- Enthusiasm for nature connection
