About this Event

Heart on Paper:
The Beauty of Ordinary Things

We move through our days surrounded by ordinary things. A favorite cup, the chair we sink into at the end of the day, the familiar rituals that quietly shape our lives. We use them, rely on them, and sometimes barely notice they're there.

But what if the ordinary holds more than we think? What if the things we overlook are also the things that make up so much of our lives?

In this month's Heart on Paper journaling workshop, we'll explore the beauty, stories, and meaning hidden in everyday things. Through thoughtful prompts and reflective writing, we'll slow down, pay attention, and see what emerges when we look at the familiar in a new way.

As always, no writing experience is needed. This isn't about crafting perfect stories, but about slowing down, following your curiosity, and discovering what might be waiting on the page.

Bring a journal, a pen, and your curiosity. We'd love to write with you.

What to expect:

  • Thoughtful and imaginative journaling prompts
  • A warm, welcoming space and supportive writers around you
  • Time to reconnect with yourself through writing, stillness, and presence

Facilitated by:

Janine Grossmann and Laura Paradise – two certified coaches who believe in the power of words, self-trust, and the heart’s quiet guidance.
