with Rebecca Wilkinson, MA, ATR-BC, LCPAT
Creative journaling combines artistic techniques with writing and journaling exercises. In this workshop, we will use the creative journaling process to identify strengths and resources that have helped us manage the challenges we have faced and are facing in our lives. We will explore strategies for improving the quality our lives so that we are not just surviving but also thriving.
This can be a traditional bound book such as a blank lined journal, a blank drawing book, a hand made book, or an altered book. It can also be non-traditional such as a deck of cards or index cards. (If you do not have your own journal, some will be available for purchase). All other materials will be provided.
Suggested Donation: $20
This series is held twice each month on Wednesdays from 10:30am – 12:30pm.
