This is a joyful, hands-on mini expressive journaling experience. You will be guided through simple techniques such as mark making, scribbling, collage and the use of colour (for example) as an expression of self. We centre curiosity, create playful, messy, rhythmic and spontaneous personal responses on journal pages. These explorations can be used to establish a daily expressive journaling practice that supports wellbeing and re-sparks the joy of creativity and self expression.
We guide you to centre the arts process rather than making ‘pretty pages.’
You will experience:
  • How to get started on blank pages
  • Ways to respond to lived experiences and cues such as music and nature
  • A variety of mark-making techniques that encourage flow
  • Arts based self-check-ins
  • How and when to use different art supplies
  • Centring art making that nervous system regulation
Long before I was a Master's qualified expressive arts therapist, I had a daily expressive journaling practice that nourished me. In this mini journaling workshop, I pair my 15 years of personal journaling experience with a therapeutic lens of releasing inhibitions, self doubt and perfectionism tendencies.
