NAMBOUR HUB: JUNK JOURNALING SOCIAL

A monthly space to create and connect. Create, connect, unwind. About this event Join us for a relaxed, monthly Junk Journaling Social—a welcoming space to get creative, connect with others, and enjoy some mindful time for yourself. Bring your junk journal along each month to work on your pages or share (if you feel comfortable). If it’s your first time, don’t worry—journals will be available to help you get started. Craft supplies, odds and ends will be provided, but feel free to bring along anything you’d like to use, add to your journal, or share with the group. Whether you’re brand new to junk journaling or already love it, this session is all about having fun, expressing yourself, and spending time together. You can learn the basics, get inspired, or simply enjoy a creative, social reset. There’s no pressure to share and no expectations—just come as you are and enjoy the process. What is junk journaling? Junk journaling is a creative, free-flowing form of journaling where you use everyday items like old magazines, packaging, photos, tickets, and scraps to create personalised, meaningful pages. There are no rules—just creativity and self-expression. Junk journaling isn’t just creative—it’s also great for your wellbeing: • 🧠 Encourages mindfulness and helps reduce stress • 💛 Supports emotional expression and reflection • 🎨 Boosts creativity and confidence (no artistic skills needed!) • 🤝 Builds connection through shared creativity • 🌿 Provides a gentle, relaxing break from daily pressures Everyone is welcome. No art or craft experience needed—just come along for some fun, mindful, creative time together. All Carers are welcome! And if you’d like to bring a friend, you’re most welcome to do that too.
