from 9 reviewsThis journal has brought me more joy than I ever expected. The reflective questions and thoughtful prompts inspire creativity and cultivate presence. Thank you to this community for reminding me that I am not alone!

When I write on my own journal it’s easy. This is not easy, in fact it calls upon you to stretch inward and outward. It’s so rich in its questions that you have to be an adventurous thinker and feeler! I love its modern girl and it’s wild provocations. I love what it provoked in me and how I fell head and heart into it.

What a fantastic journal opportunity. Thoughtfully created with attainable action items. This is a beautiful space for reflection; I love the amount of options for “doing” in this journal that are available. This journal doesn’t pigeonhole you as an educator. You are an entire being and that is carefully focused on here. Also, as a texture person, this journal is a dream to touch. I’m looking forward to using this journal both at school (while my students journal) as well as at home. It’s the perfect size for being the perfect company anywhere you go. I highly recommend giving this journal a try!

WAV guided monthly journal is beautifully written, beautifully thoughtful, and beautifully useful! The teacher/thought provoker is allowing the student/reader to learn through the most effective mechanism - questions/self discovery. This is a learn for yourself, about yourself guide; we are all students.

This journal is artfully laid out with wonderful prompts to consider all month long. I have been looking for something to make apart of my daily practice, and this gives the right amount of guidance. I’ll be looking into a subscription for sure.

These journals are artistic, inspiring, themed, and connected to NATURE; which is exactly where we need to go with our teaching and resources for educators and unschoolers!

Those 3 words really sun up the journal space for me. What a beautiful gift to the world! It has become a reflective evening ritual for me. The prompts are a wonderful way to drop back into myself at the end of the day. I feel inspired to let these ideas bubble back up to the surface the following day to see where they land or hit a bit differently.
While it’s definitely an activity that is accessible anytime of the year I feel fortunate to have this come into my life during the seasonal shift of summer into autumn where I’m gathering ideas and creative energy, to generate reading lists, podcasts, films, and art/craft activities to ground myself through the coming winter months ahead. I’m looking forward to the next journal and how it will inform my life.

I love interacting with this planner--it feels like just what I need for focus, creativity, and personal growth in a world of distractions and shiny objects! It sets out a theme, but offers many freestanding components that keep me picking it back up, to mull and engage with the prompts/parts that most draw me at any given time. There's a great variety of components and resources to get you thinking and exploring, and I love the gentle, playful tone.

First of all, I love all of the different features of this guide: the theme is timely and relevant to the time of year (especially as a classroom teacher), the prompts are exceptionally thought provoking (I typically finding myself even use a few of them with my students throughout the month), the seasonal aspects/ calendar planning/ moon cycles make it fun, and the interactive components make the this zine itself feel emergent! and there’s even space for journaling. I end up opening it a bunch of times each day all for different reasons. Lastly, I love that I get a new one each month. Content isn’t ever reused or stagnant- switches themes from month to month. Definitely something to look forward to!
