About

Whether you've kept a journal for years or are trying it for the first time, BARN’s weekly Community Journaling Club will help you expand your journaling practice. This session offers a dedicated time for journaling in the Writers’ Studio, together with the camaraderie of a group of people exploring a wide variety of journaling topics, techniques, materials, and formats. Discover your own unique blend of writing and artistic drawing/sketches that works for you.

Perhaps you want to create a visual nature or travel journal full of sketches, deepen your life experiences through journaling, or set aside time to focus on writing. Whatever your goals, we hope you’ll join us to share your experiences and learn new techniques for capturing your thoughts and ideas in your journal.

Details

  • This is a peer group for practicing and learning together in a supportive environment (not an instructor-led class).
  • Each session begins with a brief discussion and suggested writing prompt, followed by quiet time to write and/or draw in your journal. We'll wrap up with optional sharing of techniques and any "aha" moments you want to share.
  • Skill level: No prior experience or skill required.
  • Bring your own journal/paper/sketchbook and something to write/draw with.
  • Although free, we ask that you please register.

Class Policies

Ages 14 and up are welcome.

Sandra Moen

Following a career working in the analytical realm, Sandra has been delightedly exploring her more artistic side since retiring in May 2025. She is currently actively involved in drawing, watercolor, and tapestry weaving through BARN, and is excited to lead the new Community Journaling Club where she hopes to combine her interest in drawing with ideas for writing about life experiences, the nature that surrounds us, past and future travels, and maybe even some fiction down the road.
