Art Journaling Workshop: A Creative Medicine Practice

Where play meets prayer.

This art journaling workship invites you to explore creativity as medicine—through color, texture, images, and intuitive art-making. Rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing and informed by therapeutic art practices, this workshop offers a sacred yet playful container where curiosity leads and the inner critic can rest.

Many people are familiar with vision boards as a way to set intentions at the beginning of a new year. Art journaling builds on this idea—but goes deeper. Rather than focusing on a single moment or outcome, you’ll be guided in learning gentle, accessible ways to work with an art journal as an ongoing practice—one that supports reflection, emotional processing, and nervous system regulation over time.

In this gathering, you’ll be introduced to simple creative approaches that help you listen to images, symbols, color, and texture as forms of inner language. These practices invite expression beyond words, allowing the journal to become a living companion you can return to for grounding, clarity, and self-connection.

No art experience is needed. This is about process over product, presence over performance, and remembering that play is a form of wisdom.
