hello and welcome to our month schedule, the real mail to the April’s Fools I sent yesterday! LOL!

1) GRAPHIC JOURNAL CLUB – second Sunday of the month

  • May 11, 2025 – 6:30pm CET – 8pm CET

Program (the program is just to give an idea, we may change some things here and there, of course) :

  • zoom doors opens 5 minutes before for a warm welcome and introduction (we start right on time)
  • 10/15 minutes for a small meditation/mindful exercice to come “seated in front of our page”
  • 2/5 minutes warming up drawing exercice (self-portrait)
  • Graphic Journaling class with prompts and exercices accordingly to the theme of the class
  • if necessary, t’s possible to have some Q&A at the end of the session (or even after, via the PRIVATE Facebook group! )

The Benefits:

  • learning to create an inner space to access, at least, every month
  • taking the time for a creative practice
  • taking the time for a self-discovery ritual
  • dopamine shot to achieving the exercices and keeping up with the practice (extra dopamine boost when you finish one journal)

some Graphic Journaling Practice FAQ


what is a   Graphic Journal ?

Graphic Journal  is for me a place in which I can settle for a moment of self care and  self observation.

I’ve been keeping a Graphic Journal since 2000 and for me it is an important practice for nurturing  an inner space for positive and a personal growth.

using images, symbols, self portraits as a self-narration tools will make the journaling practice fun and yet transformative.


when arrived the idea of giving graphic journaling classes?

I gave the first Graphic Journaling classes in person, between 2015 and 2018 but it was back in April 2020 -when we where in lockdown- I felt it would have been a good idea to share my practice on ZOOM also for people who weren’t in my very same town. Since then a lot of people enjoyed the Graphic Journaling practice

"I guess that, if I think about it, what makes the
Graphic Journaling a self-care practice is the
possibility to enter a very personal inner-space
(inside ourselves and inside the journal) while also
nurturing the artist inside ourselves.
Taking this time to Graphic Journal offers a still
moment in a safe dimension in which we can
be ourselves while expressing all the feelings."
