About this Event
Ways of Journaling
We journal to see and be seen by ourselves. But that’s not all, is it?
A journal is a confession you don’t need permission for, an attempt to feel something more fully, to be alone with yourself in a way that’s private but infinite. Sometimes an attempt to let in and other times a desperate try to let go. It is a cultivated, private, infinite space—if you want it to be.
To journal is to create a dialogue with oneself. It is an act of commitment, however temporary, to reflection, to noticing, to rendering the invisible visible.
Art of Journaling is a two-part workshop for anyone curious about documenting life. Together, we’ll explore why we keep notebooks and what it means to shape the chaos of days into something tangible. We’ll delve into the practice of maintaining a notebook of our days, drawing inspiration from Frida Kahlo, Amrita Pritam, Margaret Atwood, Sylvia Plath, Kamala Das, Gloria Anzaldúa, Virginia Woolf, and others.
We’ll ask: Why do we journal? Is it to make sense of what we cannot say aloud, to hold the whispers of the day before they fade? Can a journal hold all the parts of us—rage, joy, love, grief—and still feel like home?
And then, of course, we’ll write.
Join me at Lettrétage where we will explore different ways of journaling. Whether you're a seasoned journal keeper or just starting out, you will fit in. There is no one way to live, and there is no one way to document it either. The important thing however is that we try to remember.
We will meet twice:
February 23rd, 11 AM to 1 PM
March 2nd, February 23rd, 11 AM to 1 PM
