Why Journaling?

🔮

Why Journaling? 🔮

When is the last time you felt like yourself? In a world that has overindulged in performing for others, our creative souls have gone quiet.

We once filled our notebook margins with quirky doodles of things we loved.

Now our creative souls are dulled beneath spreadsheets and status updates, likes and follower counts, while our imagination starves on a diet of productivity and polished profiles.

When your creativity is neglected, you default to paths others define for you. Your choices narrow, your work is unfulfilling, and your days blur together.

This class is about reclaiming your unique expressive voice through the lens of your life and your curiosities.

Whether you’re a daily journaler or you haven’t touched a notebook in years, I will teach you how to turn your journal from a stream of consciousness into a mirror that reflects and nourishes your creative spirit.

“Because of Erin and her class, I found the color in my life. It has been extremely cathartic and igniting to the creative part of me that I forgot about living in a world of spreadsheets and email.”

  • Turn your journal into a welcoming place to go, not a chore to do, or skill to perform. This place is like catching up with a good friend, it just feels easy. No more fear of the blank page, perfect handwriting, or drawing skills.

  • These shapes, colors, and symbols are the foundation of your expressive language. They don’t come from a design system or brand guidelines, they’re totally unique to you!

  • “Honor” pages capture vignettes of your life in unique ways so that months don’t go by in a blur.

    “Play” pages invite you embrace curiosity and surprise over performance and expectations.

  • “SOS” pages transform daily challenges without being overwhelmed by them. Your creativity becomes an outlet for getting back to center when things feel out of control.

  • Inspiration is how the journal becomes a place you look forward to visiting rather than a to-do list. Your pages become an artifact and a catalyst of your own becoming.

What Students Are Saying ✨

After class was finished, I felt uplifted, inspired, and my creative juices were flowing. I'm trying different types of typography, using watercolor, expressing my emotions more vividly.

Your examples, as always, are SO inspiring. The opportunity to play and create with your prompts gave me so many experiences I hadn’t had before.

So much has shifted in such a short period of time. I went from pages of only words written with one mechanical pencil to pages of colors, shapes and phrases.

I carry this journal with me all over the house. It’s helping me process a lot that I struggle to find words for.
