​​​We grow into who we are by exploring and integrating our life experiences, and there are many ways to approach this journey.

​

The multilayered process of working with symbols, experiences, and themes that have roots inside and outside ourselves is rich and rewarding. Your creative journal is a perfect container for this exploration and will welcome your creativity in all forms: writing, tracing lines, finding meaning in images, collaging, doodling...

​

There are no rules, only creative doors to open!

​​

Each time you open your art journal, you reclaim a part of yourself.​​

Getting Ready

This 22-minute audio recording will help you to reconnect with your body and find your center. It is a great way to start any creative practice and cultivate an exquisite sense of presence.

You will need a mat or blanket to lie down. This gentle and slow practice is based on an Awareness Through Movement exercise from the Feldenkrais Method®.

Unconventional Writing

Approach your journal differently: adopting a different way of writing will open up a different way of thinking and experiencing your life. Instead of linear writing (and linear thinking), experiment with shapes and unconventional ways of writing: in a circle, in a labyrinth, writing from right to left, or on top of words already on the page.

Seasonal Exploration

A PdF to initiate and guide your journaling practice through prompts, questions, and symbols related to the current season. You can work with one specific question/prompt throughout your journal, use a different one on each page, or one theme for the first page or two of your journal, and see where it takes you.

This PDF changes every season.
