Mindful Travel with a Mixed Media Journal

Travel isn’t just about reaching faraway destinations—it’s a mindset we can bring to everyday life. Whether you’re planning a trip abroad or simply stepping out your front door, approaching your surroundings with curiosity, creativity, and reflection can enrich your experience and build resilience.

Join us for an engaging and hands-on virtual class that blends mindfulness, journaling, and the joy of discovery. Over three interactive sessions, you’ll learn how to create and keep a portable mixed media journal to capture your travel reflections—through words, sketches, collage, and more. We’ll explore how to cultivate a “traveler’s mindset,” embrace cultural encounters, and respond creatively to the unexpected.

The class includes practical demonstrations, guided journaling time, and inspiring examples from the instructor’s own travel journals. You’ll also receive tips for assembling your own customized journaling kit and learn techniques to make mindful observation part of your daily routine—wherever you are.

Whether you’re preparing for a journey, reflecting on past travels, or seeking new ways to engage with the world around you, this class will offer tools and inspiration to help you connect, create, and reflect.

This class will not be recorded. Attendance requirement for incentive points – at least 80% of all 3 sessions.
