Art Journaling

Do you have a project you want to accomplish, but when it comes down to it, you just can’t find the motivation to do it?

Does it feel like every time you sit down to it, you find yourself feeling blocked, or focusing on other non-important things, like organizing your computer folders or doing laundry?

What if it’s not even a project at all, but more of a general emotion? A feeling of being lost, stuck, lonely, failing, guilt, afraid, angry, or bored?

Perhaps you feel so beat down by it all, that you just don’t know what to do to move forward. You might not have the energy or don’t even know how to learn the skills to get past it.

What if I told you that you DO have the skills and the tools to move forward? You have everything you need right there inside of you. You just need something to help you uncover them.

If you are ready to move past these obstacles and get back on your path, it’s time to try Emotional Art Journaling!

How it works:

Emotional Art Journaling helps you to get out of your head and into your body. Your body is where your emotions really live. Sometimes we stress out so much, looking for the next productivity or motivational tool to move us forward, when really all we need is to look inside ourselves. We know the way out of it, but we have to first figure out what’s causing the block. By working through each layer of feeling, visualizing it on paper, you start to recognize the real obstacle. Only then can you heal and move past it.

What to expect:

You will be guided through a short meditation and several Art Journaling prompts to creatively let go of the things that are holding you back. During each prompt, you’ll use the provided art tools (crayons and/or paint) to scribble your emotions on paper. You’ll be working through your specific problem, but then also carving a path forward/solution for yourself.

What you create will be for your eyes only. It isn’t meant to be a piece of real art, so you do not need to worry if you aren’t a “creative person”.

You’ll also get to share and talk with the other participants before and after the journaling experience. Some snacks will be provided.

If you’ve been feeling an intense desire to transform your life, and are looking for a tool to help you navigate that, Emotional Art Journaling could be the next step on your journey.

Take a second and imagine what life could feel like if you were able to move forward. Past the insecurities, fear, and general stuck-ness. Into a future where you feel content, motivated, and accomplished.

If you’re ready to make that a reality, join us for this fun, unique event!

Tickets are limited to 12 people to keep the group small, conversational, and comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What if I’m not creative/artistic?: You don’t need to have any artistic skills at all for Art Journaling to work! It’s a way to visualize your emotions. It shouldn’t be pretty, nor do you need to keep it afterwards. Rip it up or burn it if you want! It’s not meant to be hung in a museum.

What if I don’t even know why I’m stuck?: As long as you have specific project or feeling/state of being to focus on, you’ll be fine. This process guides you through many prompts to uncover thoughts and emotions in their energetic form. Eventually, you’ll be able to tease out exactly why you’ve been stuck or feeling a certain way.

What if I’m out of touch with my emotions?: Art Journaling is a great way to start getting in touch with your emotions! This process uses Reiki and other energy healing techniques to really get you focused in on your body and where things are lingering. You will be able to tune in to what you are actually feeling and get out of your head, giving you the tools to use in your day-to-day life as well.

Testimonials about Art Journaling:

“It was a really nice reset. I’m feeling energized to prioritize myself and get back to playing with art.” (This participant was feeling stuck when it comes to being creative in work and her life.)

“I loved the workshop and being in community with the other ladies. I know that the short-lived crying I experienced during the session felt very good to do and doing it with knowing others might see it felt good – I felt that I could just let it out. I also felt that I was really able to express how I was feeling internally with your guidance.”

“I instantly felt more energy, lightness, and joy! It’s not a clarity about where I’m going or what I’m doing, but in general I’m at ease with both of those things. It’s feeling more free within myself. Confident in who I am, what I bring to the table and what I know. I’m feeling like a stronger, better leader and I find myself leading leaders at work. I feel like the clouds in my mind have moved on. I’m making decisions with more ease, I’m better at expressing my thoughts verbally, I’ve been really confident professionally and personally, found new ways to reconnect with friends which has been good for us both and in general I feel unencumbered.”
