Reflection: A Guided Journaling Workshop

​PLAN

​Details to come! (We will either do Happy New Month (reflecting on the past month of January, and setting priorities for Feb) or learn a new style of journaling for self-inquiry. *Email me with your preference*

​We will open with introductions and some somatic work. Then, Cory will facilitate the group to deep reflection. We'll take a break at 3:00 to mingle and self-care, returning at 3:15 for round 2.

​-extremely supportive fellow workshoppers (see workshopper reviews at https://mindfuladulting.substack.com/p/workshop-schedule)

​Bring your journal and dayplanner. Cory will provide colourful pens and paper.
