JOURNAL TO REMEMBER,
JOURNAL TO FORGET
A WORKSHOP

Journaling saved my life. It continues to save my life. It is my most essential creative practice—the one I turn to again and again. Journaling is not just a record of events; it’s a conversation with myself, my future self, and God.

In this live online workshop, we’ll explore how journaling can become one of the most transformative, grounding, and inspiring parts of your life. Whether you’ve never kept a journal or you’ve been writing for decades, you’ll walk away with fresh ideas, new techniques, and a renewed relationship to your own words.

WHAT WE’LL COVER:

✸ WHY JOURNAL :: the purpose and power of keeping a record of your life

✸ TYPES OF JOURNALS TO KEEP :: from daily logs to themed notebooks, creative companions, and other ideas

✸ HOW TO JOURNAL :: methods for capturing the mundane, the extraordinary, and everything in between

✸ DEVELOPING A WRITING PRACTICE :: how to make journaling a regular, inspiring habit

✸ THEMED BOOKS :: organizing thoughts for specific purposes (dreams, travels, therapy, memories, lists)

✸ PROMPTS :: short creative writing session

WHO THIS IS FOR:

Anyone curious about starting a journal but unsure where to begin

Lifelong journal-keepers looking for fresh inspiration

Creatives seeking a deeper connection to their work

Anyone longing to reflect, process, or dream on the page
