Welcome to the unique international festival of journaling happening
in Barcelona!
in Barcelona!
This event is here to bring some of the most influential people in journaling today together, to support you as a guest in learning, practicing and connecting with like-minded people!
Over two days, we will have an opportunity to learn from fantastic teachers through hands-on workshops, with a focus on application. This is not about listening to dry lectures on the theory of journaling — you’re here to write and to put into practice tools that can help you develop yourself, to help you become more aware, and to help you use these tools with others.

To be honest, after the Barcelona Journaling Festival all the participants and hosts made me truly believe in officially blending journaling with my creativity and branding workshops.
Over the past few months, I’ve been able to host a lot of them using journaling and it is so magical! :)
People become more open, aware, and vulnerable. I absolutely love it.
So thank you again — in many ways, this experience changed my life and made me believe even more in the power of journaling!
