Want to start journalling but never know what to write?

Join me for a 4-week online Introduction to Journalling course designed to help you get past the dreaded blank page and discover a journalling approach that works for you.

Over four weeks we’ll explore different types of journalling and writing, including reflective writing and guided journaling, with prompts and activities to help you get started.

No previous journaling experience needed
We won't be sharing your personal writing
No fancy equipment needed - just a pen, some paper and a quiet space

The aim is simple- to give you the time, prompts and encouragement to start writing and make journaling your own

4 weeks | Online | From the comfort of your own home

SPECIAL 2-FOR-1 OFFER: Bring a friend, colleague or fellow student and two people can attend for the price of one!

Whether you've always wanted to try journaling, have an old notebook sitting untouched on the shelf or simply want some structure and inspiration to get writing again...this course is for you

Booking via Eventbrite or get in touch by emailing [email protected]
