Moon Lists: A Guided Journal

Collect, Document, Self-Reflect

A workbook with questions, list-making ideas, and prompts for taking inventory of the present.

Moon Lists is one step in a direction of exploring parts of the mind + present tense that are new, unknown, and full of possibility; filled with 18 months of exercises for breaking through creative, emotional, and transitional roadblocks, it prompts asking painlessly provocative questions that inspire breaking through creative roadblocks and connecting with a deeper way of being.

Inspired aesthetically by 1960s/70s instruction and DIY manuals, it includes:

• 18 months of original prompts (it’s a workbook — places to write, designed to get messy and shove in your bag. Use it to jot down notes, observations, and moments that stand out).

• Ideas to consider, themes to notice.

• A place to transcribe what constitutes the “you of now.”

• Examples, art exercises, and a mix of new and archival imagery
