free creative journaling workshop is an ongoing creativity workshop that i will be posting here on my blog. you are welcome to join in at any time and follow along at your own pace. for complete workshop info and catch up on everything that has happened, visit the creative journaling page. ~ i do creativity workshops because i have found creativity to be an incredible force for my own healing, transformation and empowerment and i would like to share that with others. our creativity is our uniqueness, radiance and beauty, it is connected to our intuition and is a way to access the deepest and wisest parts of ourselves.
as we set out on our creative journaling adventure, it’s good to know where we want to go with it and what we want to get out of it.
of course we already know what draws us to creative journaling. but taking some time to dig a little deeper can result in a greater understanding of what our needs are, it can help spark some surprising realisations and it can guide our creative journaling and self discovery in new directions. it also helps to clarify things for us, and reminds us of why it is important to make time for creative self exploration and expression.
i like to do this in two parts. setting an intention for what i want to do with it, and setting an intention for what i want to receive from it.
for example:
what i intend to do with my creative journaling
- try new art supplies and techniques
-get into a regular creative practice
-explore my feelings
-document my life
what i intend to receive from my creative journaling
-stress release
-play
-inspiration
-creative expansion
-healing
just the act of thinking about this and creating your lists can expand the possibilities of what creative journaling can do for you and where you can go with it. yes! once you have your lists written out… illustrate and decorate them in your journal. each item on your list can have its own page, or you can do this all on one page. you can use collage, painting, drawing, photography… the sky’s the limit!
