As we approach the end of one year and the beginning of another, take a break from holiday stress in the company of other book lovers with some relaxing end-of-year journaling. In this simple 1-hour workshop led by local artist 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗮 𝗙𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗼, you’ll be guided through a series of easy, open-ended writing prompts to get centered and make this annual transition with a little more peacefulness and clarity. No experience is required and all materials are provided. If you wish, you can bring your own notebook and a pen.

This workshop is offered by donation and all are welcome. If you donate $25, you can also take home one of Sharna’s hand-painted 5×7 journals. Her books, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘵𝘶𝘴 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 and 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥 & 𝘍𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸, will also be available for purchase, as well as hand-painted blank journals and original artwork.

The workshop takes place inside Page Against the Machine on 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟴𝘁𝗵 and will begin promptly at 𝟭𝟬:𝟬𝟬𝗮𝗺. Arrive a bit early and get your inspiration flowing with a coffee or morning beverage of choice right next door at Gusto Bead or right across the street at Coffee Drunk!
