Writing Through the Year 𓂃🪶 Monthly Journaling Club

Let’s not rush into 2026! Instead, let’s pause in the quiet, short days of winter, reflect on the year that has passed, and close 2025 with gratitude and presence.
In this circle, we’ll draw inspiration from myth, the Andean teachings of Ayni (sacred reciprocity and giving thanks before beginning anew), and poetry by Naomi Shihab Nye and Susan Rich. Together, we’ll use guided journaling prompts to let go, release what no longer serves us, and create space for renewal.
To close the circle, we’ll craft a small prayer bundle with our writing, seeds (symbolizing intention), and herbs (supports) as a take-home ritual to honor endings and invite new beginnings.
This is a gentle, reflective space for anyone who wants to pause and step into the new year with intention.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Dear friends,
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, and with all the heart-shaped chocolate, ads, and pressure that come with it, let’s do something a little rebellious in the sweetest way: let’s celebrate the love stories that don’t get center stage: our friendships. The soul-connections, the people who hold us, laugh with us, and truly see us.

This February, our journaling session is all about reclaiming non-romantic love by writing love letters to our friends 💌

With beautiful stationery, our favorite pens, and a cozy space, we’ll take time to write to those people who listen while we unravel our thoughts, cheer us on, and gently nudge us toward who we are becoming.

We’ll also reflect on “romantic friendship”: that deep, sparkly, heartwarming love that exists outside of romance, and maybe remember those magical moments when we realized we’d “fallen in love” with a new friend.

As always, sharing is completely optional. I can’t wait to see you there!

If you’d like to support the gathering in the spirit of Buddhist dana (generosity), a small donation of 5–10 euros is welcome to help cover materials and Meetup hosting costs. Thank you for contributing if you can 💗
