Ok, let me begin with:

You deserve to feel light. You deserve joy, ease, awe, wonder, magic, whimsy, play, and all that. You deserve introspection that doesn't demand fixing something but still allows for curiosity and expansion. Let me tell you - not only do you deserve all of that, you deserve proof.   You deserve your own record of wonder. 

Ask "what if," not in the name of productivity, but for pleasure.

That was a bit dramatic but seriously. You do.  Collecting Wonder is a four-week workshop for those who love a good rabbit hole, those who ask random little questions, who follow their curiosity and wonder “what if,” not in the name of productivity, but for pleasure, self-love, and their own archive. In this workshop, you’ll become a collector; you'll gather moments that let you both witness and create wonder. You’ll experience it, exhibit it, and archive it. You’ll be guided (by me!), with personalized support through weekly videos and unlimited messages, with plenty of space to reflect and explore. No group discussions or forums. Learning something new about yourself is one thing. Believing it? Remembering it? That's work. That's effort. That's intention. But it's the kind of work that matters—and it's always, always worth it.

Alright, here's what you'll get:

A Weekly Practice & Video Walkthrough

Each week includes a thoughtfully designed sequential practice that builds on itself alongside a pre-recorded video walkthrough. The practice guides you to notice, create, exhibit, and archive your wonder with intention and care.

Personal Pocket Support & Weekly Feedback Videos

Unlimited direct messages from me when you need support, encouragement, or to talk through the practice. I’ll reply within 48 hours.  You will also receive a 2-5 minute feedback video weekly.

Downloadables + Bonuses

A few printable and downloadable templates to capture your moments of wonder and help you settle in.  Plus, weekly inspiration from my own archival wanderings to keep you curious, and weekly optional journal prompts to keep you grounded. And at the end, a handwritten postcard mailed to you, only if you'd like.

Hi, I’m Julie

Your certified daydreamer and Community Archivist. My background is a bit of a mixed bag: from criminal justice reform and nonprofit operations to archives, rare books, and running a tiny online bookshop (The Lost Shelf) with coffee and stationery. I studied Psychology and Women & Gender Studies, and after years of working in care and justice-centered spaces, I returned to school to earn my Master’s in Library and Information Science with an archival focus. I’ve spent a long time asking how we care for people, and I’m really into figuring out how we have, and continue to, preserve everyday life and joy. This workshop brings it all together - care, curiosity, and my lived experience.  I created this workshop because I very much believe that the little things you love, like a good joke, the curl of steam, the hypnotizing swirl of a vinyl record, a forgotten object, the sound of rain - all carry a story about you. They’re proof of your presence, your aliveness, your humanness. Collecting Wonder offers a structured and held way to notice, gather, and document pieces of yourself, and to create a personal reference point you can return to again and again. A reminder that you can find wonder and lightness, and that you’ve done it before. You can do this.  You can navigate this world.

"Not bigger. Not better. Just more yours."

Here is where I am supposed to write how this will change your life. You scrolled down here because you want to know more. You want to know whether this is the right thing, the right time, the right kind of investment. And I get you.. I'd do the same thing.  Here's what I'll say: By the end of this workshop, you won’t have a perfect collection or archive. You won’t be a brand new person, immune to the world's mess.  But you will know how to catch the good stuff.   You’ll have a way to remember why that sound made you laugh. Why that color kept following you. Why that little scrap of an object mattered enough to keep. You’ll walk away with a practice of noticing, collecting, and keeping what you find curious and wondrous. Not because it needs to be useful. But because it’s yours. That’s the shift. Not bigger. Not better. Just more yours. And that's enough.

Begin the Journey!

It'll be dope.

FAQ

Do I have to finish in 4 weeks?

No, you don’t have to finish in four weeks, but the workshop is designed with a weekly rhythm.  You can take it at your own pace. However, I’ll only be available for 1:1 messaging and weekly feedback videos for four weeks, starting from your enrollment date.  After that, you’re free to finish on your own, at your own pace without a set deadline.

Do I have to share anything with others?

Nope, not even me if you don't want to. This is a private experience, but I do ask that you submit "assignments" each week. You have the option to leave it blank if the practice is feeling too personal, or you just don't want to. You’ll have 1:1 support from me, but there’s no group chat or forums required. 

How much time will this take?

You can expect to spend about 15–30 minutes a day on the practice. Some days it may be a quick practice for you. Other days, you might want to linger. I would say - plan for about 30-40 minutes daily to give yourself some breathing room, and longer if you want to go deeper — but there’s no pressure to stretch beyond what feels good.

A Note on Price + Sliding Scale Offer

I offer Community and Pay-It-Forward rates for this workshop. The Community Rate is $275, and the Pay-It-Forward Rate is $525. The standard rate is $400,  this is what I need to sustain myself, this practice, and the time and care I put into this work. You are also able to pay any of the rates across two months, split in half.  If one of the sliding scale rates feels right for you, just email me at [email protected]. I recognize this model isn't perfect, nor a fix for larger systemic issues, but I hope it helps make this offering more accessible while keeping it sustainable. I'm using a framework adapted from The Green Bottle: Where You Fall on the Sliding Scale by Alexis J. Cunningfolk and Britt Hawthorne via Rest Day Creative.
