Having kept my own illustrated journal of several years, in 1997 I began to define my ideas about journal keeping into a process which stresses four elements:
Travel,
Meditation,
Being “in the moment”
Working alone
Several interested friends traveled with me on adventures where we each worked on our journals while I taught basic principles of design, writing, drawing, painting, collage, and bookmaking as applied to travel journals. In 2003, the Journey Daybook non-profit educational corporation was created to formally serve the growing interest in creating journey daybooks by teaching, networking with other professionals, and to using the process with people challenged by health issues.
Adventures have occurred in Florida at St Augustine, Cedar Key, Oklawaha, and Wakulla Spings; at Sapelo Island in Georgia; in Boise, Idaho; aboard ship in Alaska; and in France.
