About this Event

Heart on Paper: Truth, Lies and Myths

In this month’s journaling workshop, we’ll explore the space between truth and the stories we tell — to others and to ourselves.

We all bend the truth in small ways. Sometimes to protect ourselves, sometimes to make things easier, sometimes simply to belong. And over time, these small adjustments can shape how we see ourselves and the world around us.

This session is not about confession or getting things “right.” Instead, we’ll approach the theme with curiosity and a light touch — using creative and playful writing exercises to explore what sits beneath the surface.

As always, Heart on Paper offers a welcoming space to slow down, write, and reflect in community. No experience is needed. Just bring a journal, a pen, and a willingness to see what emerges.

Whether you journal regularly or are simply curious to try it, you are warmly invited to join us.

What to expect:

  • Thoughtful and imaginative journaling prompts
  • A warm, welcoming space and supportive writers around you
  • Time to reconnect with yourself through writing, stillness, and presence

Just bring a notebook, a pen, and a bit of curiosity.

Facilitated by:

Janine Grossmann and Laura Paradise – two certified coaches who believe in the power of words, self-trust, and the heart’s quiet guidance.
