Start the new year off with a creative jump start with your own hand painted 2022 journal. This two hour workshop will start with your first journal entry for 2022 and time to decorate your journal to make it uniquely yours.  The class will provide your own blank journal and lots of fun creative supplies and tools such as modge podge, magazine clippings for collage, gold leaf, extra paints, paint pens, and more! Please bring any additional items you would like to use to decorate your journal including your favorite pens, pencils, paints, or collage elements.

Journalling is a great way of expressing our thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment and can be good for us in more ways than one. Self-expression is therapeutic, by allowing us to focus our thoughts in a way that is similar to meditation, putting them into perspective. A journal is a time capsule that allows us to look back months or years to see how conflicts were resolved while reminding ourselves that we’re doing our best. It’s a great way to boost self-esteem by writing affirmations and favorite quotes and, writing in it regularly, may also improve memory.
