08-10-2025 The Art of Romanticizing Your Life in Journals *In Person*

In this workshop, lifelong journaler and paper crafter Erin Fairchild of Journal As Altar will lead us through an inspired process to find ourselves on our pages.

What does it mean to romanticize your life, even during turbulent times? How do we find magic and romance in the mundane, without relying on spending tons of money or living a lavish lifestyle? How do we romanticize being good neighbors, friends, partners, and community members? TLDR; Through creative journaling practices!

In this interactive workshop we will explore how to crack open perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking that can inhibit our creative vision, how to capture our lives through various journaling modalities (including junk journaling!), and nerd about our favorite art supplies.

✍️ In this hands-on, 2-hour workshop, you can expect:

  • Affirmations to crack perfectionism
  • Interactive writing prompts
  • To connect with other creatives
  • Time for self-reflection and creativity
  • A Journal as Altar goodie bag


To prepare for class, please bring:

  • A new or active journal to work in
  • Any favorite writing and creative supplies to use in your books
  • Any tools you need to create a supportive energetic container (we suggest candles, blankets, and snacks for nourishment!)

Some shared supplies will be offered (though no journals will be provided), and each participant will leave with a Journal As Altar goodie bag.

We'll be gathering together at Seagrape Apothecary on August 10th from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm.

Please arrive a little early to get settled in. For the sake of the container we're holding, and to minimize distractions, we'll be locking the doors 10 minutes after class starts. Please keep this in mind while making travel arrangements!

Seagrape Apothecary is now located at 2823 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland, Oregon 97232. Please DO NOT park in the Centaur Guitar parking lot! There's residential parking available just one block away, and a bus stop directly in front of the store for folks taking public transit.
