Create a journal and start a journaling practice.

Join PL volunteer leaders, Ingrid Roper,writer and Melinda Rittenhouse, artist to create a journal and journaling practice as unique as you are. Using varied themes and prompts, we will work toward creating

a sustainable practice of reflection and exploration through writing and collage. We will meet

seasonally via Zoom and will keep in touch via email with suggested themes and prompts as

well as resources* to keep your practice going in between.

*Resources to include books, articles, and examples of writing and collage to keep you

inspired along the way.

You can create your journal out of anything*
