Barcelona Journaling Circle: Back To School – memoir writing

Barcelona Journaling Circle is excited to bring our vibes, pens and journals to the brand-new Backstory: The Studio! In September, October and November, we are offering a series of 2-part workshops that combine journaling and memoir writing – the best of two worlds! Each month we will focus on a specific theme: school years, family, food – and everything that comes with it. Stay tuned!

To book and pay (EUR20/session), please go to the official course page.

Workshop 1: Back to School - The Years That Shaped Us (with Marusha)
📅 16 September

With the new-year energy that September brings, we’ll revisit the teachers who changed us, friendships that defined us, embarrassing moments, first loves (and heartbreaks), and the tiny details our minds chose to keep. Together we’ll explore why certain memories stay, why they matter – and how writing about them helps us understand the people we’ve become.

Workshop 2: Back to School – The Gold You Left Behind (with Oliver)
📅 30 September

This time, we're going deeper, digging back into childhood: the things we loved doing before we learned to stop. The drawing, the singing, the building, the daydreaming, the games we played for hours and then simply dropped because someone said it was silly, impractical, or not who we were supposed to be. Together we’ll explore what got left behind, why, and what it might mean to pick some of it back up.
