About this Event
What if a notebook could become one of your most powerful tools for creativity, self-discovery, and personal growth?
Journaling is so much more than keeping a diary. It's a way to get ideas out of your head, explore possibilities, work through challenges, celebrate progress, and discover what matters most to you.
And the best part? There's no right way to do it!
Whether you love writing, sketching, doodling, making lists, or experimenting with mixed media, journaling can be whatever you need it to be.
In this fun, interactive 90-minute workshop, you'll discover the power of journaling through a mix of practical tips, creative exercises, personal reflection, and conversation.
What You'll Learn & Experience
- Discover your WHY: Explore the benefits of journaling and identify how it could support your creativity, well-being, and personal or professional goals.
- Find your FLOW: Experiment with different journaling techniques, from free-flowing writing to doodling and visual expression. No writing or artistic skills required!
- Turn reflection into INSIGHT: Learn how to revisit what you've written or created to uncover patterns, discover new perspectives, and identify meaningful next steps.
- Make it YOURS: Explore simple ways to overcome the blank page, let go of perfectionism, and create a realistic journaling habit you'll actually enjoy.
You'll have time to try techniques for yourself, reflect on what you discover, and share ideas with fellow participants.
What You'll Walk Away With
- A better understanding of how journaling can benefit you
- Hands-on experience with different journaling approaches
- Practical prompts and tools to keep you inspired
- A simple, personalized plan to continue your practice
What to Bring
Bring whatever inspires you to capture your thoughts and ideas! That might be a favorite notebook or sketchbook, colorful pens and markers, a tablet with a stylus, or a laptop with your favorite journaling app.
Whether you prefer handwriting, typing, doodling, or digital creativity, there's no right way to journal. Choose the tools that feel most natural and enjoyable to you.
No journaling experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to experiment!

A lifelong journaler, Kate lost touch with her personal writing practice after years as a professional writer, when perfectionism and self-judgment began to replace creative freedom. Rediscovering journaling became an important part of her own journey back to creativity, authenticity, and joy.
