Handcrafted Eco-Friendly Journals & Heart-based Journaling Workshops

New Offering

in October!

In this series on Beauty, we will attempt to re-connect with our authentic selves, who we truly are at our core. We will explore unexamined beliefs and judgments we hold about ourselves and our world and talk about ways of letting go of that which no longer serves us. In de-cluttering our minds and emotions, we create space for what truly matters. True beauty lies in being completely and absolutely oneself!

Events & Workshops

Journaling Workshops

I have created these heart-based journaling workshops, for beginners and veterans alike, as a place for people to come together to have fun and connect with others in the community while exploring the beauty of their inner and outer worlds. I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment where individuals can feel free to express themselves and to explore and reconnect with their inner landscape, the realm of the heart.

Coming in 2027!

Guided Autobiography Workshops

Guided Autobiography is an acclaimed writing process that helps individuals reflect on significant moments in their lives through specific themed exercises and inspiring prompts. Developed by Dr. James Birren, these workshops provide a structured approach to help one explore, write, and share their life story and to discover meaning and purpose in their lives.

Stay tuned for more details!

Awakening to Beauty

This series is divided into three 2-hour workshops held in three consecutive weeks. No journaling experience is necessary, only a sense of curiosity and an open heart and mind. Save the dates: Oct 14, 21, 28 from 1-3 pm!

I have been creating these journals since 2016 with earth-friendly papers from Nepal, Thailand, and Mexico.

Choose from over 35 designs and two sizes!

These handcrafted journals are created with earth-friendly papers from Nepal, Thailand, and Mexico.

The journal cover is created with textured mulberry paper from Thailand, which comes from the bark of the rapidly growing mulberry tree. This paper is acid-free.

Crush paper pages are slightly textured and off-white, and are made with by-products that would normally head for the landfill, i.e. citrus fruits, corn, olives, coffee, etc. along with 30% post-consumer recycled waste. The paper is made using 100% green energy, and the company claims to reduce the carbon footprint by 20%.

The journal cover is created with Nepalese Lokta paper, which comes from the Lokta, or Daphne, bush that grows throughout the majestic Himalayas. When properly cropped, the bush can regenerate in 3-7 years. Tibetan monks first used Lokta paper 1000 years ago to transcribe their sacred texts, and some of those original documents are still in existence today. Lokta paper is strong, durable, and impervious to insects.

This design is created by placing leaves on wet pulp and letting the mixture dry in the sun. The resulting 2-toned paper exhibits a silhouette of each leaf.
