What is The Open Page?

Maybe you’ve tried writing in a journal.
Trying to sort it all out.
But instead of insight, you just circle the same thoughts, again and again.

That’s the left brain at work. It’s brilliant at structure, words, and logic.
But it’s not always where your truth lives.

Your right brain, the one fluent in images, intuition, and sensation, has other ideas.
It doesn’t think. It feels.
And when you give it space to speak, what it shows you can be surprisingly honest.

That’s what we do here.

Open Pages is an intuitive, body-based approach to visual journaling.

You begin not with a plan, but with a question.
You tune into your body.
You ask for an image.

And then, before your mind jumps in, you draw.
No art skills needed. No perfection required.
Just curiosity, a page, and your inner world.

What makes this approach different?

It’s rooted in Carl Jung’s belief that the unconscious communicates in symbols.
When words fall short, the body and soul speak through color, line, and image.
This Jungian-inspired practice invites archetypes to surface, like the Child, the Shadow, or the Wise One, revealing what’s stirring beneath the surface.
We don’t force meaning. We let it emerge.

This isn’t scrapbooking.
It’s not about aesthetics.
It’s about self-trust, surrender, and learning to listen differently.

Because without a doubt, the image knows more than you do.

What if the answers you’re looking for aren’t in your thoughts … but in your body?
