Moon Lists: Questions and Rituals for Self-Reflection (A Guided Journal)

Inspired by vintage workbooks from the 70s and the monthly lunar cycle, Moon Lists is a guide to expanding the creative, personal, and emotional self in a provocative, unpretentious way. This guided journal asks you to slow down and reflect, once a week, on the recent past.

Leigh Patterson (author) started Moon Lists as an online project: an evolving set of questions for reflecting on, documenting, and taking inventory of the recent past. Each month, Patterson asked women in a variety of creative fields to respond to a list of prompts about the past 30 days. This journal is a tangible version of her exercise—a notebook you shove in your bag and aren’t afraid to wear down.

Included in this guided journal are 18 months’ worth of prompts for your own Moon Lists reflections. Encouraging one to create a weekly ritual to journal and consider what’s taking up space in your mind. These list-making prompts will un-cloud the division between the conscious and subconscious, bringing awareness to the beauty of daily life.
