Writing for Joy Journal Club - October

A cosy and creative online journaling workshop celebrating 2 years of Journal Club!

Through guided journal prompts, we’ll explore the theme that journal club was created with at its core: our relationship to joy and finding joy in the every day. We’ll consider creativity as a tool to be more mindful and present in our lives.

You can expect…

• A guided grounding exercise to start

• Gentle creative journal prompts exploring the theme of joy

• Support to use writing as a wellbeing tool in your day to day

• Setting intentions for the month ahead

• To join a community of like-minded, creative people

Writing for Joy is a series of creative workshops that bridge the gap between creative writing and journaling. Designed to encourage reflection, mindfulness and creativity, Writing for Joy gives you the tools to bring creativity into your every day.

The Writing for Joy journal club is a monthly virtual creative journaling session. Each month we’ll meet and you’ll be guided through gentle writing prompts around a particular theme. If you find journaling a chore or struggle with the blank page, the journal club will give you ideas and community to spur your writing along. There’s no pressure to have your camera on or share anything in the session. You’re welcome to kick back or contribute as much as you like. 

This session runs on a special £2 birthday rate (usually £4-£8.) If you can’t make it on the night, the workshop will be recorded and sent out to everyone afterwards.
