CREATIVE JOURNALING FOR SELF-CARE

- a powerful tool to help you release emotions and improve mental health.

 

Words & art heal

Dear you,

This is your invitation to unwind. To tap into your creativity within the pages of an art journal.

This is your permission to prioritise some ‘me-time’. To revel in a different kind of self-care.

This is your reminder that you do not need to be an ‘artist’ to enjoy and benefit from creativity.

Did you know that intentionally exploring and documenting your life through purposeful journaling prompts, mindful painting and collage is a powerful relaxation tool and anxiety & stress-relieving practice?

We know that journaling can be cathartic but our mission is to make it easy too.
