The Journal Circle: Spring Equinox

Write, share, connect! Reflective journal prompts and creative intention-setting in a cosy space.

The Spring Equinox marks the returning of the light to the Northern hemisphere, as our days grow longer once again. After the slower, colder days of Winter, Spring is arriving: a time of stirring energies and beginnings. Whether you know it as Easter or Ostara, this is period of sowing seeds and looking towards the future: what you plant now will determine what flourishes later in your year! Join us in the Journal Circle to let go of what has happened, and set intentions for the season to come. 

This is an online held on Zoom - a link to the room will be in your confirmation email.

“beautiful space holding, grounding and anxiety dispelling. Thank you!”

Together, we’ll write bravely to reflect on and understand our experiences more clearly. Then, we'll look ahead and imagine our future! These are the strengths of creative and reflective writing – powerful tools that can help us shape our lives. Our words and stories being heard and witnessed by others is powerful, too – so join us to express your unique voice on the page, and in a group. You are warmly welcome in The Journal Circle, exactly as you are.
