Join us for Morning Pages: Paper Plant Co.’s monthly journaling club! Start your day with a cozy, intimate gathering for your fellow analog lovers! Each month, we’ll gather around the table in our Highland Park location to slow down, put pen to paper, and connect over a shared love of the written word. No experience necessary. Come as you are and bring your favorite journal, a pen you love, and an open heart. 🍂 September's theme: Autumn Equinox Each meetup is centered around a seasonal theme and a few gentle prompts to inspire introspection and creativity. September's prompts will be inspired by the autumn equinox: a moment of balance, harvest, and release. You’ll be invited to notice where your life feels out of balance and to take stock of what's grown since spring. As we enter a season of gentle release, you’ll be asked to check in with your inner compass and let go of what's run its course. _________ What to expect: 😌 Grounding moment and community introductions 📝 Guided journaling: there will be themed prompts and journaling supplies (e.g., washi, stickers, stamps) for you to use! 💞 Stationery swap (optional: feel free to bring gently used or extra washi tape, stickers, pens, paper goods, etc. that you'd like to share or trade) _________ In an effort to meet more neighbors, Morning Pages is expanding to two time slots: Morning: 11:00am-12:30pm Afternoon: 2:00-3:30pm Please be considerate of your fellow journalers and only sign up for one (1) time slot each month. Thanks for understanding. _________ Because analog joy should be for everyone, tickets are offered on a sliding scale. Choose the tier that works best for you, no questions asked. Community: $5 (limited to 2 spots per time slot) Standard: $10 Pay It Forward: $15 (covers your spot and gifts one spot to a neighbor who needs it 🤍) All Standard & Pay It Forward tickets include a $5 shop voucher for you to spend in store the day of (a little treat to pick up while you’re here)! _________ About your hosts Pa
