​"When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself." 
Tecumseh

There are so many things in the world to be thankful for.
This week let's explore the many facets in our lives that fulfill and sustain us.

Your post may include social relationships, having opportunities to work, your health, a warm home, pets, coffee, love...this list goes on and on.

Explore using collage and words and then add mixed media to add layers and pull things together...let your process guide you.

Journaling is an ideal place to honor your process. Listen to your body, mind and spirit. During the process take care of your needs. Take breaks if you need to. It's an honor to be a part of your journey. Be kind to yourself and how ever you spend the long weekend may it be full of peace and love.

"We have all known the long loneliness, and we have found that the answer is community." 
Dorothy Day

This week is a very important week for our country. No matter what the outcome, we are still one nation. This week in our art journaling we explore the theme of community. There are many people that play into our lives.
We engage in many systems, both personally and professionally.

This week explore how community impacts you and what aspects of community are beneficial in your daily experience of life. Who are your supports? What do you need from others in these systems? What do you need for self-care if systems aren't always healthy? Can you impact a system to improve it? 

Explore using words, paint, drawing...mixed media...let your process guide you. Journaling is an ideal place to honor your process. Listen to your body, mind and spirit. During the process take care of your needs. Take breaks if you need to. It's an honor to be a part of your journey. Be kind to yourself!

Testimonial: "I have always enjoyed being creative and have thought about trying art journaling in the past, but could never figure out how to get started. I would get stuck in my head and finally just give up. The journal prompts have helped by giving me a starting point and some structure in exploring my thoughts and feelings on a particular topic, while also providing a lot of room for flexibility and creativity. Since discovering this process, I have been surprised at the growth and change I am seeing in areas of my life where I have felt stuck for a really long time. This is definitely a tool I will continue to use." 37 year old participant
