Creative Faith Journaling Workshop



Come to an afternoon of creativity and faith as we explore God's abundant promises for us!


What lies in our hearts? How do we pray for these?  This recollection will look at some of God’s basic promises and will explore how we might pray them. We will also learn to journal ... in words and pictures. 


Journaling is said to have been practiced in Asia as early as 56 AD and while Westerns are said to have recorded only details and facts in their journals, the Asians have supposedly included images and other creative expressions in their journal entries even from early on. 


Journaling is being used nowadays in many fields of discipline: creative writing, technical and scientific research, medical and nursing practice, in psychotherapy as a tool for self- discovery and emotional healing… Many use it to record their dreams, hopes, goals and accomplishments. 

Holy men and women through the years have used journals to record their deep religious experiences.  This has helped them keep a record of their faith journey  and to discover and understand the work of God in their life.



The better to remember them and to rejoice in God’s answers. 


Bring:

Journal - preferably spring or ring bound or sewn, (not perfect binding  because when you attach pictures and embellishment and notebook will be thick, pages may fall out)
pens 
glue
scissors
magazines
optional- family pictures, pictures of yourself, paints, crayons, scrapbook materials, etc
& an open heart :)



Our Resource Speakers:


Mae Legaspi

Mae’s interest has always been in people. From being a kindergarten teacher to leaders among the youth and married members of Ligaya ng Panginoon, a Catholic Christian community, to management consultancy in a Singapore-based company, she has always been involved in helping individuals and groups find their gifts, purpose or mission in life. 

Mae currently does part-time community-building work for The Sword of the Spirit Asian Region where she does training and formation of leaders and  Christian community culture in the Philippines and India.  Mae also does life coaching where she puts to good use her counseling, teaching, training and spiritual competencies.  She runs at different seasons of the year a program for college students to help them decide on a  college degree that best  fits their skills and interests.

Mae has a Master of Arts in Family Ministry and Counseling from the Ateneo de Manila University, and 40 graduate credits towards an MA in Reading from PNU.  Her postgraduate units are in Organizational Development and Values Development at Miriam College.


Patsy Paterno

The eldest of the five Papemelroti siblings (she is the PA in pa-pemelroti), Patsy has been working in the family business since she was 11 years old.  Today, she works full time for the business as the chain's Managing Director.  

A graduate of Interior Design from the University of the Philippines, she can always be found in her craft room making collages, scrapbook layouts, Artist Trading Cards (ATCs), and thinking of ways to re-use things normal people would throw away.  Her favorite techniques are collage and crayola etching, which she says are most forgiving of mistakes.

Testimonial:

"I thought before that journaling wasn't "my thing".  I found it hard writing down what I hear from or what I want to say to the Lord.  Maybe, because I felt like they had to be done "nicely and properly" - with correct tenses, grammar and all.  But I realized that what was most important was that I remember our conversations together and feel renewed and strengthened by them.  Creative Journaling is the answer to my prayer!  I can draw, stamp around, make a collage out of whatever I heard God tell me.  I find it enjoyable and in a way "liberating" to do my journal now.  And looking through "all the art" makes it easier for me to recall His words and in a glance see my journey with Him throughout all these years!" - Dr. Marichu Pilapil 

Legaspi People Development Consulting offered a half- day workshop on Creative Spiritual Journaling last November 15, 2008 at the Manresa Retreat House in Quezon City.  Mae Legaspi, the Managing Consultant of  Legaspi People Development  Consulting,  spoke about  Prayer as a Way to  One’s Authentic Self,  and  Patsy Paterno, Managing Director of Papemelroti,  shared her experience of journaling as a response in her dialogue with God.  She also demonstrated several creative techniques in making journal entries that express  what is in one’s heart.
