Journalling; for learning, for wellbeing, for fun
Description
In this episode, I was delighted to be joined by not one but three of my esteemed colleagues to discuss journalling. Our Welfare Officers Rowan Pring and Pete Shepherd were discussing it from a therapeutic perspective and our Director Shev Pring added an educational view point about using learning journals. We discussed the practicalities of what journalling is, why it's a helpful practice and they shared top tips for how to get started. We also investigated the intersection between the journal as a learning tool and the journal as a therapeutic tool and explored the premise that perhaps they are actually one and the same. It was an insightful, light and useful conversation and as always, a pleasure to facilitate. Rowan mentioned towards the end of the conversation that she has Long Covid and, amongst other designs, she has created two beautiful journals specifically designed for people with Long Covid, that you can find out more about here: https://www.calmertides.co.uk.
