A calm afternoon for anyone who wants a quiet space for presence and reflection, without the diary becoming one more item on the to-do list. Participants explore the diary as a place to gather thoughts, notice what they are grateful for, what they believe in and what carries them.
Drawing on the 17th- and 18th-century commonplace book, the workshop looks at how a personal notebook can hold the things worth remembering. You can write, collage, illustrate and experiment freely with paper, pens, markers, colour, scissors and glue. Whether you have kept a diary for years or are just starting out, there is room for you. Reflection on faith, or on what is greater than ourselves, is part of the afternoon, but you decide how far you take it.
- Short talks on the diary as a space for self-care and self-reflection
- Writing exercises and creative journaling techniques
- Experimenting with paper, pens, cut-outs and colour
- Reflection on gratitude, faith and what is greater than ourselves
- Coffee, tea and something to eat, shared with others

The workshop is led by Julie Warberg, a psychologist and owner of Kartotek Copenhagen with many years of experience in journaling, and Rikke Juul, a parish priest in Rosenvænget Parish. Expect exercises and shared reflections, so come ready to take part actively.
