Introducing the Sit Spot
Find a Sit Spot: Find a spot where you can sit and observe for 5 minutes each day. Ideally this spot will be outside. If going outside is not an option, you could look outside through a window or choose a spot in your home.
Sit and observe:
Go to your sit spot. Take a few deep breaths.
Observe. What do you see? What do you hear? What do you smell? What do you feel?
Record your observations in your field journal. You can draw or write.
What questions do you have about what you have observed? Share your questions with a family member or pet, or write them down.

Remember to record the moon for your Moon Journal!
