Despre eveniment
This Creative Journaling workshop series is all about inspiration and introspection. If you've ever stared at a blank page feeling stuck, or if you feel like you're just skimming the surface of life instead of exploring its depths, these workshops are for you!
Each session is packed with engaging interactive and solo activities designed to help you build a more attentive, intentional, and vibrant connection with yourself and your surroundings. By the end of each workshop, you’ll walk away with techniques you can use as part of a regular journaling practice or as sparks of inspiration for your other creative projects. Come join us to discover new ways to fill your pages!
The workshops will be held in English, with opportunities for writing and discussion in English or Romanian.
Facilitator: Anthony Sorge is a writer and Education Studio volunteer with twenty years of experience teaching English language and literature. He believes in the power of writing, reflection, and relationality to help make the world a more peaceful place.

February 1st - Look Closer: Mindful Journaling
What’s hidden in our everyday surroundings, waiting to be seen, heard, and experienced? In this workshop, you’ll learn how to sharpen your observational skills and notice the often-overlooked details that enrich even the most mundane environments. Through interactive activities and writing exercises, we’ll focus on cultivating mindfulness and paying closer attention to the sights, sounds, and sensations that typically go unnoticed in our daily lives.

February 15th - Symbols and Stories: Journaling with the Tarot
The word “tarot” might bring to mind spooky witches and mystical fortune tellers, but these cards can also be valuable tools for personal reflection…no crystal ball required! In this workshop full of drawing, writing, and discussion, you’ll learn the basic symbolism of tarot cards and how to use them in journaling exercises to facilitate creative introspection.

March 1st - Getting into Character: Roleplay Journaling
There’s more to roleplaying than just dungeons and dragons! In this workshop, you’ll develop and engage with original characters and explore a fantasy world rich with symbolism and personal meaning. You’ll use improvisational games and writing prompts adapted from tabletop RPGs to bring new forms of introspection and creativity to your journaling.

March 15th - From Doomscroller to Diarist: Journaling Between the Headlines
It can be difficult to process the emotions that can get stirred up when we look at the news…but journaling can help. A regular writing practice can provide us with a helpful outlet for those complicated thoughts and feelings, as well as a tool to re-sensitize and empower us when the constant barrage of information coming through our screens can leave us feeling numb and helpless. In this workshop, we’ll explore some techniques for exploring and expressing our feelings related to news and politics through meditation, dialog, and writing.

The ticket pricing allows you to pay as much as you consider and can afford, starting from 40 RON/workshop, or 120 RON for all four.
