:: THE WORKSHOP SERIES ::
Journal from the Heart
Three brand new workshops. Three creative ways
to get back into your journal. 🖤
Your journal is a portal into your heart
After four decades (!) of journal writing I’ve figured out fun and creative ways to stayed engaged with my practice and unravel my feelings on the days I’m craving more insight and inward connection... and now it's time to share them :)
The Journal from the Heart workshop series comprises THREE brand new workshops to help you go deeper into your journal writing through the creative doorways of poetry, photography and brave soul writing.
Each workshop stands alone and together they'll transform the way you understand what journaling can bring to your life (hint: it’s a choose-your-own adventure!)
Sign up for the workshop bundle or take them individually, whatever works best for you. You do not need to be an experienced journaller to take these classes, they’re designed for beginners and old-hands alike!
Poetry Journaling kicks us off in August, with Photo Journalling following in October and Brave Soul Journaling in December.
Whether you've been journaling for years, drifted away from it or always meant to give it a go, the Journal from the Heart workshop series is for you! Let's go!!
Workshop One:
Poetry Journaling
August 2026
Poems are life decanted onto the page and as readers we can use them like keys — not to study them, not to analyse them, but to identify the doors they unlock inside us. A line that snags. An image that won't let go. A stanza that makes you feel seen.
In this workshop I'll share a mindfully curated selection of poems for us to mine for journaling inspiration. We'll explore lines, phrasing and imagery and identify the luscious words that invite more questions.
And while this isn't a poetry writing workshop, you may find you end up with your own poetic musings in your journal :)
Poetry journaling is delightfully creative way to turn your writing inside out and develop new perspectives. You don't need any previous experience of poetry (writing or reading) — in fact, if poetry has ever felt intimidating this workshop will heal that too!
You'll leave with a whole new way of opening your heart and listening to yourself.
Workshop Two:
Photo Journaling
October 2026
A single image can hold more than a thousand words — especially when it's an image from your own life. In this workshop we'll use photographs as our starting points: images from your phone, old family photos, pictures torn from magazines and images I'll share with you on the day.
We'll explore the ways photography captures what words can't quite reach — the feeling of a moment, the story just outside the frame, the things we notice when we really look. Then we'll journal from that expansive place.
We'll also be exploring ways you can bring photography into your journal to create a dynamic combination of memory and feeling. This is so much more than memory keeping!
You'll leave with a toolkit for turning any image into a rich, personal journaling practice. No special artsy skills required.
Workshop Three
Brave Soul Journaling
December 2026
In our final workshop together I'll teach your how to get really honest in your journal without the emotional hangover afterwards :)
Brave Soul Journaling isn't about writing scary things for the sake of it. It's about the gentle, powerful practice of writing past the surface, past the "I'm fine," past the version of yourself you present to the world.
I'll share specific techniques that help you go deeper without falling apart, write the hard stuff without spiralling, and come back to yourself on the page again and again — even when life is complicated.
You'll leave with practical tools for journaling more fearlessly and a stronger more trusting relationship with the most important person in your life: YOU!
Three workshops. Three new doorways into your journal. A whole second half of the year to go deeper!
HOW IT WORKS
Each workshop in the series follows the same format:
✓ A pre-recorded video workshop lands in your inbox on the release date — watch it in your own time, at your own pace, in your favourite spot with your favourite drink
✓ A few days later, we'll gather live on Zoom for 90 minutes to put what you've learned into practice and go deeper as a community
✓ The Zoom call will be recorded, so you won't miss out if you can't make it live
All you'll need is something to write with and something to write on. A journal, a notebook, even your phone. Whatever is easiest 💛

Your class truly inspired me!
“I just finished listening to your last video and I wanted to let you know that your class truly inspired me. You have such a gifted way of making everyone feel like a friend. I love how you introduced FUN into my journaling with colored pens, stickers and washi tape. Even though I have been journaling off and on for many years, I hadn’t thought of how the creative aspect could bring so much to my journaling. It was the 'permission' and excuse that I needed to buy new colored pens, washi tape and inspirational stickers these past few weeks. When they arrived, I went straight to my journals! What joy!”
