Journaling improves memory and sleep, boosts productivity, improves immune cell activity, and supports goal achievement. In this 2-session class, you’ll learn about how journaling helps us record our thoughts, feelings, ideas, and aspirations. You’ll make a small journal in the first session. In the second session, you’ll learn several ways to use your journal and then we’ll play with making spreads.
