📢 Session announcement: JournalFest and PlannerFest 2024!

📔 Ian .paper.sparrow will present: 'My Journal is a Mirror, not a Window'

🖋️ This session will explore how Ian, The Paper Sparrow, uses his journal for reflection rather than planning, knowing there is a difference between the two and the freedom this can bring.

📚 Also, join Ian for a special Journal Club session in the VIP Creativity Zone (more details about the VIP Creativity Zone to follow very soon!).

✨ Ian is an avid journal keeper and analogue enthusiast. He was always a stationery lover and hoarder but having fallen deeply into journaling during lockdown, he discovered the practice of journaling was a great creative outlet for recording ideas, emotions and the simple joys of everyday life. Knowing the beneficial impact journal keeping can have on mental health from personal experience, he hopes to encourage others into exploring this useful tool to express and reflect.

✍️ Ian hosts a monthly Journal Club in Hunter Paper Co, an independent letterpress card and stationery store in Ballyhackamore, Belfast. Journal Club is a space where anyone can journal alongside like-minded folk. Ideal for newcomers and seasoned journalers, they host a supportive and inspiring journal community.

💕 Journal Club is a relaxed and encouraging space for folks to explore different journaling methods, take inspiration from fellow journalers and share their own tips and knowledge.

🎟️ Limited VIP tickets are currently still available if you haven't registered yet! The VIP PlannerFest and JournalFest tickets include a full day of presentations and workshops, food, drinks, epic goodie bag, dedicated table with planner/journal friends, sharing and swaps tables, raffle, plannerstack/journalstack, exclusive shopping time in StationeryFest and lots more!
