In the privacy of your journal, you learn to be both bold and vulnerable. Your journal offers the opportunity to strengthen your mental prowess as well as be a powerful gateway to creativity and personal discovery. As writers, we can use journals as a playground for no-judgment creativity, exploring the road not taken, and describing Mother Nature and the nature of people. Sharing publicly (or not) is always a personal choice.

Journaling has always been beneficial, but we want to help you keep on track with a good perspective in 2024. So, we designed a workshop to help you use journaling to keep your perspective and keep you on track throughout 2024. We’ll engage with various journaling methods like morning pages, reflective writing, and self-discovery to find a practice that works just for you. Whether you are a devoted journal keeper or you’ve never kept one, this workshop is for you!
