Create & Appreciate: DIY Gratitude Journals

$20.00

We often hear that gratitude is "good for us," but how do we actually make it a habit? This unique, two-part workshop is designed to nourish both the mind and the maker, proving that a thankful heart is a healthier one.

We begin with a guided reflection on the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of gratitude. Research shows that a consistent practice can improve sleep, lower stress, and boost immune function. We’ll discuss practical ways to weave these benefits into your daily life so that gratitude becomes a tool for your overall well-being.

After grounding ourselves in intention, we’ll move into the "creative lab." You will customize your own personal gratitude journal using a variety of decoupage and mixed media techniques. You’ll learn how to layer textures, colors, and imagery to create a unique piece of art that serves as a beautiful, physical home for your daily reflections.

No need to run to the craft store! We provide a curated selection of premium materials to ensure your journal is as unique as your journey. Guests will leave with a custom-made journal, a kit of practical wellness "hacks," and a fresh perspective on living intentionally
