Creative Journaling - feel ready to handle the holidays

A calm, cozy in-person Box Journaling™ workshop to explore holiday feelings with compassion and creativity. Box Journaling™: Holidays with Grace is an in-person workshop for the general public, offering a calm, cozy space to explore the feelings that can come up around the holidays and family gatherings. Explore what’s coming up You might be looking forward to seeing family, wishing things were different, or feeling pulled between what others want and what you need. Through guided Box Journaling prompts, you’ll explore what you hope for, what worries you, and how you might meet yourself with more compassion. Four elements, many ways to express yourself Created by the therapist leading the workshop, Box Journaling brings structure to tangled thoughts and feelings through feelings, thoughts, compassion, and creativity. You’ll have simple prompts and room to write, play with colour, or make marks on the page. Sometimes words come easily; sometimes a colour or scribble says more. With the therapist’s guidance, you’ll look beneath your first reactions to understand the feelings and needs underneath. You’ll also explore what a compassionate voice can sound like, especially if self-kindness feels unfamiliar or difficult. Your experience, at your pace Your writing and artwork are private. You can keep them to yourself, choose what to share, and explore only as much as feels comfortable. No art experience or regular journaling practice is needed. Come with whatever’s on your mind and leave with a practical way to keep reflecting at home—and a little more grace for yourself this holiday season.
