It is peak summer and we are in the midst of a record-breaking heatwave. But rather than sweltering in the outdoors, I have been staying in and planning for the cooler days of autumn by developing a series of online journaling workshops. These workshops will take place on Zoom and will focus on the following themes:

• friendship – use journaling to celebrate and develop your friendships (17 September)
• ancestors – a workshop to get you ready for the Day of the Dead (29 October)
• gratitude – this journaling technique increases your wellbeing and sense of perspective (19 November)
• the new year – take the time and space to prepare for 2023 (31 December)

Each workshop will run from 13:00 to 16:00 (BST) and costs £30. Places are limited. Following the event all participants will receive a complimentary workbook of journaling tips and prompts.

These workshops are something to look forward to, when the deep summer of July and August has passed by, and the days start to draw in. I hope you will join me online to explore and enjoy the powerful practice of journaling.
