Almost September! Journaling Workshop registration reminder and tell me how you really feel...
A discussion post on creative nourishment, change of seasons and transitions.
Hello Journalers and the Journal-Curious (you know who you are!),
Oh, almost September! I’m looking forward to crisper mornings that require a light jacket, cardigan or hoody, an excuse (though who needs it) to welcome hot apple cider back into my life and falling leaves. I can almost hear crunching leaves of rust, burnt orange and gold under my toddler’s feet.
How about you?
What season is it where you live and how do you feel about this transition? Will you welcome it with open arms?
Is there anything that needs some gentle love and attention before August comes to a close? If so, what is it and what does it need? How can you nourish this need?
Speaking of nourishment, we’re getting ready for our FREE to subscribers (at all levels) Online Journaling for Creative Nourishment Workshop on September 4th, from 12-1 pm EDT.
We’ll gather in community, beginning with a moment of mindfulness and breathing together. We’ll write to prompts, including reflection writes, share (if you wish) and deeply listen.
We’ll invite our creative selves to meet us on the page from a place of curiosity, openness and discovery.
To register, go here.
I’m SO excited about today’s newsletter with prompts and discussion!
Feel free to choose any of the above questions as a jumping off point- for you to explore personally and/or SHARE in the comments (whatever you’re comfortable sharing).
As we lean into journaling as creative nourishment, I’m curious –
What does creative nourishment mean to you?
Why is it important?
How can we foster creativity AND creative nourishment in a deeper way?
I’m intentionally opening the discussion with these three questions.
And one more:
What questions naturally arise for you? (There are so many possibilities. This is just the start).
There are no wrong answers. Let’s explore together!
Till next time,
Jennifer
What does creative nourishment mean to you?
Love this phrase and question. And how my response could change moment to moment, day by day. What nourished my creativity today was writing my weekly substack post and making a veggie rich dinner. Both of which in turn nourished me. 😋
