Morning Pages: Monthly Journaling Meetup & Stationery Swap (Afternoon Session)

Join us for Morning Pages: Paper Plant Co.’s monthly journaling club!  Start your day with a cozy, intimate gathering for your fellow analog lovers! Each month, we’ll gather around the table in our Highland Park location to slow down, put pen to paper, and connect over a shared love of the written word. No experience necessary. Come as you are and bring your favorite journal, a pen you love, and an open heart. 🎃 October's theme: Spooky Scorpio Season Each meetup is centered around a seasonal theme and a few gentle prompts to inspire introspection and creativity. October's prompts will be inspired by spooky Scorpio season, with themes around transformation, rebirth, intuition, mystery, and coming to terms with what lies beneath the surface. You’ll be invited to go deep to explore your raw, honest feelings and reclaim your personal power. _________ What to expect: 😌 Grounding moment and community introductions 📝 Guided journaling: there will be themed prompts and journaling supplies (e.g., washi, stickers, stamps) for you to use! 💞 Stationery swap (optional: feel free to bring gently used or extra washi tape, stickers, pens, paper goods, etc. that you'd like to share or trade) _________ In an effort to meet more neighbors, Morning Pages is expanding to two time slots: Morning: 11:00am-12:30pm Afternoon: 2:00-3:30pm Please be considerate of your fellow journalers and only sign up for one (1) time slot each month. Thanks for understanding. _________ Because analog joy should be for everyone, tickets are offered on a sliding scale. Choose the tier that works best for you, no questions asked.
