About Event

Join us for Morning Pages: Paper Plant Co.’s monthly journaling club! 

Start your day with a cozy, intimate gathering for your fellow analog lovers! Each month, we’ll gather around the table in our Highland Park location to slow down, put pen to paper, and connect over a shared love of the written word.

No experience necessary. Come as you are and bring your favorite journal, a pen you love, and an open heart.

🌅 July's theme: Golden Hour

Each meetup is centered around a seasonal theme and a few gentle prompts to inspire introspection and creativity.

July's prompts will be inspired by long, sunlit, unhurried summer days, the kind that invite you to put down your phone and savor the moment.

_________

What to expect:

😌 Grounding moment and community introductions

📝 Guided journaling: there will be themed prompts and journaling supplies (e.g., washi, stickers, stamps) for you to use!

💞 Stationery swap (optional: feel free to bring gently used or extra washi tape, stickers, pens, paper goods, etc. that you'd like to share or trade)

_________

In an effort to meet more neighbors, Morning Pages is expanding to two time slots:

  • Morning: 11:00am-12:30pm

  • Afternoon: 2:00-3:30pm

Please be considerate of your fellow journalers and only sign up for one (1) time slot each month. Thanks for understanding.

_________

Because analog joy should be for everyone, tickets are offered on a sliding scale. Choose the tier that works best for you, no questions asked.

  • Community: $5 (limited to 2 spots per time slot)

  • Standard: $10

  • Pay It Forward: $15 (covers your spot and gifts one spot to a neighbor who needs it 🤍)

All Standard & Pay It Forward tickets include a $5 shop voucher for you to spend in store the day of (a little treat to pick up while you’re here)!

About your hosts

Paper Plant Co. is an independent stationery boutique on a mission to create an idyllic analog world—one pen, notebook, and roll of washi tape at a time. Founded by Friedia Niimura and rooted in Los Angeles’ Chinatown and Highland Park neighborhoods, Paper Plant Co. curates a thoughtful selection of Japanese stationery and paper goods from beloved brands around the world, alongside our own in-house designs. More than a shop, we’re a communal space for creativity, connection, and the quiet joy of putting pen to paper. Follow along our analog adventures @paperplant.co.

Morning Pages will be guided by Krystie Yen, a Highland Park local, creativity coach, and member of the Paper Plant Co. team! She hosts workshops and community gatherings to help people slow down and reconnect with their creativity. Follow along at @createwithkrystie.
