EVENT: Writing to Reveal with Dan Keane

3-4pm, Saturday January 10th, 2026
Part of the
The New Zealand Stationery Festival

A journal is a place to express yourself, record your days, confide your secrets - and discover truths you never knew. In this hands-on writing session, Dan Keane will give you practical strategies to make journaling an easy, accessible practice of meditation, introspection, and even revelation.

What will you learn:

  • How to know what to write - and why
  • How to make friends with the editor in your head
  • How to turn daily observations into surprising insight

Please bring along your own notebook and your favourite writing tool!
