Monthly Journal Club

One Month, One Page, One Drawing

What is Monthly Journal Club?

Monthly Journal Club is a practice in creative self care. Each month, be guided by an Art Therapist, to use Expressive Arts techniques to create a landing page in your journal rooted in self development. Throughout the month we layer on this page, our thoughts, feelings, doodles around a monthly theme to create an intuitive canvas. Each month journey deeper, slow down layer by layer and learn how showing up for ourselves takes practice. At months end we simply turn the page and begin again. No art experience necessary.

Open to Adults 18+

Do I need to be Artistic?

Not at all! We are not here to create pretty pages although sometimes that happens. This process of journalling is focused on the process over product. For example, we may feel blue today and incorporate the colour blue into our page that day as a place to be curious about our felt sensations. Our page is a place to explore our feelings, thoughts or simply sink into the catharsis of making marks.
