Creating a Gratitude Journal
Positive Thought Therapy captured within the pages of a notebook - looking for the positives, manifesting good things, prioritising what's important, focusing on hopes & dreams...
Discussing the concept and benefits of journal therapy; of utilising self reflection techniques, appreciating the wins in life and learning from the mis-steps and mishaps. Working with journal prompts to encourage your thoughts to flow more easily onto the page.
During the workshop, you will create a pocketbook of pockets (or an ephemera file), utilising 12 standard-sized envelopes. Suzanna will show you how to attach them together on one edge to create a little booklet just perfect for collecting any ephemera you can find that generates good vibes. The pockets will be filled with ephemera, both in advance and over the course of the months, creating a visual ephemera diary of your time. There will be guidance on adding words of encouragement, tiny photos, precious things, plus ideas for any other ways you can incorporate uplifting memory triggers.
There will also be a pile of books from the library shelves (which Suzanna will select beforehand) that contain images that will hopefully inspire our creativity and ideas even further...
As always, a little ephemera pack will be provided on the day, to get your new project up and running.
You are welcome to bring along 12 envelopes of your own which we will attach together at the beginning of the workshop. Alternatively you can purchase a ready-made pocketbook from Suzanna on the day of the workshop, for an additional cash payment of £5.00
At the end of the session you will take away an Information sheet and the remaining contents of your ephemera pack, plus your little decorated journal, prepped and ready to add your future findings, memories and ephemera at home.
