Creative Journal Expressive Arts (CJEA) is a method using simple tools for any process of healing, creativity and for planning the future.  It is the application of right brain research to therapy, personal growth, and healing that involves the healing power of drawing and writing with the dominant and non-dominant hand.

This workshop is conducted in a safe environment in which to work through any personal and inter-personal conflicts, past traumas and other blocks to creativity and personal growth.

In addition to learning some of the basics of Creative Journaling, participants will learn specific exercises on forgiving ourselves and others via collaging and drawing and using our non-dominant hand.

Class is led by Lori Jo Siegel, a trained CJEA facilitator, who will join us on Zoom as we gather at the library.  Lori has facilitated numerous groups and offers creative tools to facilitate awareness, healing and change for emotional health and healing based on The Creative Journal by Dr. Lucia Capacchione.
