The New Creative Journal

The Creative Journal is an innovative approach developed by Anne-Marie Jobin, art therapist based in Québec. Rooted in art therapy and wellness practices, this unique personal journaling method combines three creative languages: writing, drawing, and collage.

Designed as a gentle and accessible path to well-being and self-development, the Creative Journal invites you to explore your inner world in a playful, intuitive, and meaningful way. No artistic skills are required—this is not about being good at drawing or creating “beautiful” art. It’s about expression, reflection, and reconnecting with yourself.

By engaging multiple forms of expression, the Creative Journal helps deepen self-awareness, support emotional balance, and encourage personal growth in a safe and nurturing space.

I am certified in the Creative Journal approach, and if it is something you are interested in I can integrate this method into your individual counselling sessions as well as in group workshops, where it supports personal exploration, healing, and transformation.

Introduction to the New Creative Journal 

This is a supportive and inspiring workshop designed to help you understand the creative journaling process and feel confident using it as a personal tool for reflection and expression. Whether you’re new to journaling or feel unsure how to begin, this session offers a gentle and accessible starting point.

You’ll explore a variety of creative journaling techniques — from writing prompts to visual and mixed-media approaches — learning how and why they work. Rather than focusing on perfection, this workshop encourages curiosity, play, and self-trust, helping you find a style that feels natural and meaningful to you.

 

Coming Home to Self  -

This workshop is a gentle creative journaling workshop for anyone who feels disconnected, unsure of what they enjoy, or struggling to know how to truly feel good. If you’ve ever felt lost in understanding your emotions or uncertain about what “home” feels like within yourself, this space is for you.

​

A Book of Inner Magic-

This workshop is an immersive and transformative experience, designed as a journey of reconnection with your inner magician. Through a personal journal that you will build throughout the sessions—and keep for life—you will explore your deepest resources, your creative potential, and the richness of your inner world.

 

Over 5 sessions of 3 hours, online or via video, either one-to-one or in a group, you will be gently guided step by step in a safe, inspiring, and deeply supportive space.

 

This workshop is primarily designed for adults, and can also be adapted for young people, as the intention is to make this creative and transformative experience accessible to as many people as possible.

 

Blending art journaling, creative journaling, and self-exploration techniques, this workshop invites you to unlock your creativity, meet your inner allies, and transform your fears into pathways of understanding and personal empowerment. No artistic background is required: this space is open to everyone, far beyond technique, focusing instead on authentic and intuitive expression.

 

By the end of the journey, you will return home with a complete, personally created book—your own “book of inner magic”—a deeply meaningful creative work that serves as a lifelong personal grimoire, a living companion of your insights, symbols, reflections, and inner discoveries.

 

Throughout this journey, you will develop a deeper relationship with yourself, a freer and more alive creativity, and a renewed ability to move forward with clarity and confidence.

 

Each session is designed as a meaningful encounter, enriched with guided practices, creative explorations, and moments of sharing that are both inspiring and heartfelt.
