Art Journaling for Self Care

Art and Journaling…together?

Yes, Please!

This group is a place for connection and expression. No art skills needed! Join from your own space, using your own supplies, with the video and chat window open to foster community. Participants are invited to upload photos of their work at any time. We hope that this time becomes a touchstone in your schedule, where you can schedule self-care.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Anyone ages 18+ may participate in this event. Children ages 12+ may participate with a parent/guardian also participating.

  • This class is offered once a month. Dates will vary seasonally. Check the event calendar for the most current dates.

  • We open with a discussion about what self-care needs are showing up for us. Here you can share as much or as little as you like. The facilitator will offer the group an art/journaling prompt based on the discussion. We then take some time and gather whatever materials we choose and begin creating. During the creative time, general discussions are welcome, and occasionally we will play background music. We close with a discussion of our exploration, what was it like to make time for yourself today? This event is not recorded.

    We have been blessed to have many wonderful, creative, supportive participants. We invite you to make time to support yourself and share in the support of others.

  • Any materials you would like to work with. Some people come and write poetry or music! The goal is not so much the created project, but to close the door on obligations and expectations outside of you and give yourself time to ground into a supportive environment. The facilitator will often be working with markers or watercolor paints.

  • We believe when we come together to create, something very special happens. Respect for self and others is a must.
