Weekend Creative Journaling Workshop for Adults

Not your average journal, not your average afternoon. Make something meaningful from the unexpected.



1.5 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests    

  $60 (Afterpay & PayPal Pay in 4 available)

Slow down, create and reconnect with your Inner Muse through this guided creative journaling workshop.
Held on the second or third Saturday of each month from 1pm to 2.30pm, this workshop offers a supportive space to explore thoughts, feelings and ideas through a blend of art and reflective writing, collage, paint and more. Each session introduces a unique theme, gently guiding you through creative processes that include a range of mixed media.
You will be supported by a qualified art therapist and invited to engage at your own pace, with no pressure to share or perform. This is not about creating a perfect artwork, but about making something meaningful and discovering what emerges along the way.
You will learn how to:
  • Use creative journaling as a tool for self-expression
  • Explore ideas and emotions through art and words
  • Develop a regular, reflective creative practice
What to expect:
  • A calm, welcoming studio environment
  • Guided prompts and creative processes
  • A range of art materials provided
  • Time for reflection and optional sharing
  • A take-home memento of an afternoon well spent!
Come on your own or bring a friend, and take time each month to unwind, reconnect, reflect and create!
NDIS participants warmly welcome. Please message to arrange an invoice.

Hi, I’m Veronica, the founder of Vlinder Expressive Arts Therapy.
My path into this work did not begin in a studio. It began with curiosity. I have always been fascinated by people, by stories, and by the ways we make sense of the world when words are not enough. Before becoming an arts psychotherapist, I worked in libraries and early childhood education, spaces where observation, attunement and creativity quietly shape how people grow. Those experiences taught me something lasting. When people are given safety, time and the right materials, they naturally move toward meaning.
A pivotal moment for me was discovering art therapy during my own period of questioning and change. I saw how creative processes could gently reveal insight, regulate the nervous system and invite new perspectives without pressure or performance. That discovery led me to complete a Master of Art Therapy and to become a professional member of ANZACATA.
I love teaching and facilitating because it is never about having the answers. It is about holding space. I get to witness moments of recognition when someone realises they are more capable, more creative or more whole than they thought. That never gets old.
Something many people do not realise about art therapy is that you do not need to be artistic. The power is not in the final piece. It is in the process, the choices, the pauses and the reflections along the way.
Over the years, I have worked with children, adolescents and adults across clinical, community and group settings. I have facilitated programs in studios, schools and organisations, and supported hundreds of individuals to explore self regulation, identity, connection and growth through creative processes.
At the heart of my work is a simple belief. There is wonder in the world, and it often finds its voice through creativity. My role is to help people remember that, and to encourage them to be their own masterpiece.
If you are curious, you are already in the right place.
