Intro To Journaling

Get ready to dive into the world of journaling, where your thoughts meet the page in a creative and introspective journey.

Intro to Journaling: A Creative Writing Workshop

Join us for Intro to Journaling, a welcoming, low-pressure creative writing workshop designed to help you explore journaling as a tool for self-expression, reflection, and connection.

Hosted by Courtney of Inspired Creative Writing Workshops at Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea, this workshop is perfect for beginners, curious creatives, and anyone who has ever thought, “I want to journal, but I don’t know where to start.”

This is not about perfect writing — it’s about showing up, putting pen to paper, and discovering what journaling can offer you.

What We’ll Explore Together

Through gentle, guided prompts, we’ll introduce participants to the art of journaling, including:

• Simple journaling prompts to get you started
• Different journaling styles (reflection, gratitude, stream-of-consciousness journaling)
• How journaling can be used in therapeutic and self-supportive ways
• Writing as a tool for stress relief, clarity, and self-connection

You’ll also have the opportunity to connect with others in the community in a relaxed, encouraging environment. Sharing is always optional — listening and simply being present is just as welcome.

What to Expect

• Guided journaling prompts
• Quiet writing time
• Optional sharing and discussion
• Conversation around journaling for mental and emotional well-being
• A warm, supportive, low-pressure atmosphere
• Amazing Food & Drink in a cozy environment

What to Bring

• Notebooks and pens will be provided
• Feel free to bring your own journal or electronic device if you prefer
