     Creative Journaling promotes deeper self-awareness and personal satisfaction through self-expression. Creative (or visual) journaling goes beyond the symbols of words by using color, lines and images. Teasing your muse involves having fun with guided journaling exercises, reflection on your understanding of creativity, and practical “tools” to take home. This workshop is about exploring and expressing yourself creatively; not about a new art technique. People who have had, or have a journaling practice or who would like to begin to journal will enjoy this workshop.
