Service Description

Join us for a creative journaling experience designed for artists, writers, and anyone who considers themselves creative or creatively curious. An art journal can be a low-risk space for experimentation and exploration and can become a container for self-expression and personal growth. In this workshop, we'll provide each participant with their own journal and a packet of journaling goodies. You'll have the opportunity to personalize your journal and unleash your inner creative. This space warmly invites artists to write, writers to make art, and everyone to move beyond familiar habits into new forms of expression. Whether you’re setting intentions, seeking clarity, or looking for a meaningful tool for self-expression, this experience will offer supportive guidance and practical inspiration. We'll offer tips and instructions on writing techniques, collage, and various mark-making possibilities. We'll also introduce you to a practical 'Table of Contents' methodology to help you organize your thoughts and inspirations effectively. We are delighted to have experienced leaders Jenni Sturgis, Anna Schmunk, and Beth Richardson guiding this creative journey. Whether you’re beginning a new journaling practice, crossing into a new creative modality, or refreshing an existing ritual, this workshop will offer space to check in, reflect, and share within a supportive and generative community. Get ready to unlock your creativity and enhance your self-reflection. Secure your spot, and embark on your journaling journey with us!
