2026 Workshops offered by Kelly O. Finnerty, LMFT
Visual journaling is a creative practice that combines words and images in fresh, unexpected ways. Gain new insights in a supportive creative community while strengthening your resilience during stressful times. People often consider creativity to be a talent that only some people have. But in fact, research has shown that the skills of creative people overlap with the skills of resilient people. These skills can be learned!
Two-Day Introduction
Please consider joining me at the Santa Fe Community College, New Mexico for a two-day weekend introduction to this creative practice.
Weeklong Immersive Retreat
For a more an in-depth, immersive experience check out this weeklong workshop offered at Ghost Ranch Education and Retreat Center, approximately an hour's drive north from Santa Fe.
This year I am excited to introduce Eddie Hoffman as my co-teacher at Ghost Ranch. Edie is an accomplished photographer and book artist whose work has been shown in galleries and museum exhibit in the San Francisco Bay Area. She brings the photographic eye and deep emotional connection to the environment.
Register through Ghost RanchVisual Journaling workshops will center on the skills of creativity: looking closely, being curious, making connections, seeing things in new ways, being open to uncertainty, and trying something new. Your journal will be a laboratory for experimentation and play, using mixed media such as colored pencils, markers, paint, and collage together with your written thoughts. No prior art experience needed. The emphasis is on process not product.
