WRITING WITH PICTURES & TIDY FESTIVAL ONLINE
Writing with Pictures
HALF-DAY JOURNALING WORKSHOP
A contemplative mini‑retreat with images, words, and a small circle of people.
Writing with Pictures is a journaling practice that begins with your camera and an image, and becomes a way of making space for yourself and what you may find there.
In a single half‑day, participants learn a clear, repeatable sequence—noticing, photographing, and writing—that can be folded into a daily or weekly routine. It’s structured and accessible for people who are drawn to images and words, but don’t quite know how to begin.
This workshop works well as:
A stand‑alone offering for individuals
A guest workshop for photography centers, writing centers, Jungian and contemplative communities
A special session for therapists, coaches, and their clients or groups
A mini‑retreat for people who work with images, story, and inner life
This is for you or your community if:
You (or your group) want a journaling practice that isn’t just “stare at the blank page”
You value contemplative time, but find it hard to protect or structure on your own
You run a photography, writing, Jungian, KonMari, or therapy community and want a meaningful, experiential class to offer
You’re interested in a way of working with images and words that supports inner work without becoming performative or public
This workshop helps by:
Giving people a clear, repeatable Writing with Pictures sequence they can use on their own or in future groups
Combining images and words in a way that gives pages a beginning and an ending—so sessions feel contained, not endless
Creating a small, guided mini‑retreat where participants can try the sequence once and take it home
You’ll leave with:
One lived experience of the full Writing with Pictures sequence
A journaling pattern you can fold into an existing practice or use to begin one
A journal with the sequence laid out inside it, ready to keep going
A practice that can support therapy, supervision, creative work, or personal reflection
A different way of seeing ordinary moments, with more space around your inner life
