About This Event

Join us for a monthly gathering of like-minded souls where we slow down and explore our inner world through guided journaling & meditation The Conscious Journal Club is a supportive monthly gathering to pause, check in with yourself and explore your inner world through guided journaling prompts. We'll explore different approaches and themes each month in a like-minded community space. Our gathering will be held in a beautiful coastal location in Whitburn, Tyne & Wear, with views overlooking the sea. We'll settle into the space with a warm drink, relaxing meditation and somatic technique. Journaling prompts will guide you through the theme for the month followed by an open sharing circle, this is optional, no pressure at all to share. We’ll also be getting a little creative with a simple (optional) affirmation card craft session. What better way to spend a Sunday morning, than writing and connecting with others by the sea 🌊 This month we'll explore the theme Connection & Relationships: connection to ourselves and others, the relationships that nourish us, our boundaries and needs, and what it means to create more meaningful and conscious connections as we transition into Autumn.

It’s helped me to navigate through career changes, redundancy, divorce, health diagnoses and everyday life. Journaling helps me to organise a scattered mind, process emotions, solve problems, set meaningful goals, connect with a higher power that always seems to give me the guidance I need, and ultimately understand myself more deeply. I know journaling will be part of my life forever, and I’m now called to share this practice and knowledge with anyone who feels ready to develop their own journaling practice — to become their own best friend and therapist. I live by the sea in North East England, and feel a deep connection to nature and it’s healing powers. After a health diagnosis of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome I transitioned from a successful 20+ year corporate career into a more authentic and balanced way of life, supporting wellness businesses and facilitating support groups for EDS UK charity. I’m on a continuous journey of self-growth and living a spiritually aligned life, a certified EFT practitioner, Hypnotherapist and currently studying Journal Therapy Coaching.
