​​​​Join @journalingclasses for an evening of reflection, pen2paper, connection and community.​

​​Let's make this busy city feel a bit more quiet, small and calm. Join us for an intimate experience in a community setting focused on general wellbeing as we explore topics of self-discovery, embracing the season we are in and more.

​Let me set the scene: you arrive at the beautiful McCarren Parkhouse after a long week of life in NYC. You grab a drink and/or snack from the bar and find your way to the cozy covered patio where you’ll be welcomed into a warm, inviting space.

​Find your seat, make yourself at home, and let yourself get grounded in the act of self-care, yet in community. Emily, Founder of @journalingclasses, will kick off the evening with mindfulness prompts, and we will flow in our journals as we put pen to paper to some good tunes.

​From there, we’ll transition into intuitive collage-making using images, words, and textures as a way to explore what’s present for you right now. This experience is less about goal-setting or productivity, and more about listening, noticing, and allowing meaning to emerge through creative expression.

​You’ll be guided throughout the evening, with plenty of spaciousness to follow your intuition, create at your own pace, and enjoy the calm energy of making alongside others. We’ll gently close our time together with an opportunity to reflect, integrate, or share if you feel called.

​All are welcome. Come as you are.
