THIS WEEKS TOPIC: CONTEMPLATIVE CREATIVITY & JOURNALING ✨

Guest Speaker: Coralee Asker — Artist & Bespoke Bookmaker

What happens when we slow down long enough to put pen to paper? In a world filled with noise, screens and constant distraction, creating something with our hands can offer us a rare opportunity to pause, reflect and reconnect with ourselves.

For Coralee Asker, creativity and journaling are not about producing something perfect. They are about creating a space that is uniquely ours — somewhere to capture our thoughts, observations, sketches, questions and the everyday moments that make up our lives.

Drawing on her Fine Arts background and her practice of creating beautiful hand-sewn books, Coralee will explore the connection between creativity, contemplation and the simple act of journaling.

Together we’ll explore:

• How creativity can help us slow down and become more present
• Journaling as a space for reflection and self-expression
• Why making something with our hands can feel grounding
• Moving beyond the idea that we need to be “creative” or artistic
• Creating small rituals that encourage reflection in everyday life
• How a journal can become a record of our own unique journey

You don't need to be an artist or a writer. Sometimes all we need is a quiet space, a blank page and the willingness to begin.
