Journaling on Purpose
A playful, transformative sketchbook journaling experience
with Anne Leuck
What We'll Do Together
This is a playful, fearless, deeply personal sketchbook journaling experience for anyone who wants to reconnect with themselves through creativity, reflection, and story.
We'll combine simple drawing, bold color, words, and memory to create pages that hold your real life — past, present, and what's calling you forward.
Not performance. Not perfection.
Just honest pages and honest joy.
This is a practice you'll carry for life — a way to document and process the good, the bad, and the rad. Zero art experience needed. Just curiosity, a willingness to show up, and maybe a tiny bit of courage.
See What We Create
Here's what happens when you give yourself permission to play, create, and explore on the page.

What Students Say
"Anne's classes changed how I see my own story. I came for the art, but I stayed for the community and the way she helps you find yourself on the page."
"I never thought of myself as creative, but Anne made me feel like I could do anything. Her approach is playful, warm, and genuinely transformative."
"This isn't just about making pretty pages — it's about processing your life, your emotions, and your dreams. I carry this practice with me everywhere now."
Meet Your Guide
I'm Anne Leuck — painter, creative guide, and lifelong sketchbook keeper. For years, I've been helping people discover that they don't need to call themselves artists to create meaningful, transformative work.
My approach is playful, honest, and grounded in community. If we're not laughing, experimenting, or making a bit of a mess, it's not working. I can't wait to make art with you this summer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need art experience?
Absolutely not. This is designed for people who don't call themselves artists but know they need a creative outlet. If you can hold a pen, you can do this.

I'll provide a detailed supply list when you register, but the basics: sketchbooks, your favorite pens and markers, and an open heart. Everything else is optional.
Can I come with a friend?
Yes! This is a wonderful experience to share with a friend or family member. It's a creative reset and a memory you'll both keep forever.
What's included in the program?
Your registration includes all workshop sessions, accommodations, three meals daily, access to Omega's facilities (yoga, meditation, lake, trails), and evening programs.
When does registration open?
