Journalling for Self-Care Workshop
Journalling for Self-Care Workshop

Exhibition tickets require separate purchase.
What is journalling and how can it benefit your mental health? Journalling can be an act for self-care, offering a private space for self-expression, reflection, and self-discovery. When one feels overwhelmed, journalling often provides a way to pause, clarifying thoughts and feelings and noticing patterns.
In this workshop, you will learn the basic techniques of journalling and get inspired to write by creative ideas, questions, and topics. The programme includes guided meditations and explores topics such as self-respect, self-confidence, and self-compassion. Whether you are a beginner or a skilled meditator seeking the company of others, join this workshop and together we can create an equal and safe space to care about oneself and others through journalling in the museum environment.
The workshop will be led by Gopi Elton from Raja Yoga Hong Kong Center and will be conducted in English.
