MINDFUL JOURNALING (Tuesdays in January) – Week 1

Join us Tuesdays in JANUARY for FREE Mindful Journaling at the Smyth Co Public Library.

Ready to dig deep, get creative, and maybe even share a laugh or two? The Marion Public Library is rolling out a continuation of its popular journaling series Tuesdays in January. We’re inviting you to find your inner zen at our Mindful Journaling class!  Think of it as the ultimate mash-up: classic diary vibes meet “doodling in the margins” artistry. This isn’t just about putting pen to paper; it’s about giving your emotions—from wild excitement to total boredom—a safe space to just… exist.

All materials provided (yep, the journal, markers, pencils, stencils, scrap paper, and more are on us!).

Zero pressure to share your entries out loud, but we’d love to hear from you if the spirit moves you!

Ages 18+ only, please.

Limited to 15 participants, so spots are going fast!

To guarantee your spot, email rachelg@scplva.net. You must receive an email confirmation; without it, your spot is not guaranteed.

Come for one week or all four – the journey is yours to design!

  • Tuesday, January 6th, 6-8pm
  • Tuesday, January 13th, 6-8pm
