Are you curious about mindful art and journaling and how they can be used to enhance our well-being? Mindful art and journaling can have positive effects in helping us make sense of our thoughts and feelings, and help bring focus and calm. This introductory workshop provides an opportunity for individuals to experience guided journaling facilitated by Steph T (@stephtcreates), through a series of hands-on mindful art and positive journaling activities for self-care, self-expression and self-discovery.

The focus of this workshop will be on positive journaling, where participants will uncover their signature values/strengths (i.e. values in action) and explore how journaling can help us to discover more about ourselves and our inner values/strengths. Research has shown that strengths use is linked to higher levels of well-being. Though each person has certain signature values/strengths, many are not truly aware of the values/strengths they possess. Values/strengths reflect people’s core, and allow them to be their best selves. Therefore, this
experiential learning workshop allows individuals to explore using positive journaling as a pathway to enhance well-being for self and others around us.

This workshop is open to the general public (aged 13 and above) and welcomes anyone who would like to embark on a journey of self-discovery through journaling. Participants do not need to have any journaling background to join. The only requirement is curiosity and the willingness to give yourself the freedom to express in the way that feels right for you. This is suitable for those seeking personal development, better self-awareness and enhanced well-
being.

Each participant will take home a MD Japan notebook that will help you embark on your own journaling journey. Participants will also have access to sharing art materials during the hands-on workshop activities.
