Our community

GOGA (Get Out Get Arty) is a fast growing community of nature journallers based in the UK. We meet regularly to sketch, drink tea  and connect with the natural world. We’re not about perfect pictures, we enjoy mess and together we are exploring ‘the lost art of noticing’.

GOGA was created in February 2023 by Sara Bellis. She  is a naturalist and educator with 30 years experience of working with communities. GOGA exists to create opportunities for all ages to take time out, get gentle exercise, connect with nature, build community and eat cake. It’s not a cure for all our challenges, but hopefully helps a bit.

GOGA plans to grow as a community!. Our plans include more workshops, 1-2-1 sessions, merchandise and community projects for all ages. We’ll remain inclusive and open to new ideas and exciting ways of working to connect more people to nature and each other.
