Journaling With Nature

Episode 9: Ali Foxon – Green sketching and the pursuit of joy


Listen Later

Ali Foxon is a geographer and artist living in England. In our conversation, Ali shares how she went from being a climate change researcher and advisor, to being an artist and ‘joy spotter’ when she founded Boggy Doodles. She has created ‘green sketching’, a new way to bring together art and nature in the pursuit of joy.   

Listen to hear more about:

  • Ali’s history in academic research.
  • How sleep deprivation in her son’s first year led her to an epiphany.
  • How nature connection can become part of your ‘Mental First Aid Kit’ during times of stress and turmoil. 
  • Three little known facts about Ali’s life that will make you smile.
  • How sensitivity can be a super-power in life and work.

Find out more about Ali and green sketching on her website www.boggydoodles.com and through Instagram. You can also find Ali’s TEDx talk here.
