Hope Jar & Affirmation Jar Workshop – Creative Wellbeing in London
At Know Thy Number, we believe small daily rituals can make a big difference in building resilience, optimism, and inner strength. Our Hope Jar and Affirmation Jar Workshop is a creative and uplifting experience that combines mindful intention with hands-on craft. Guided in a welcoming environment, you will learn how to design your own affirmation jar or hope jar—a personal container of encouragement, gratitude, and positivity to support your journey through life’s challenges and triumphs.
What Is a Hope Jar?
A hope jar is more than a decorative object—it is a personal well of encouragement. Traditionally, a jar is filled with handwritten notes, quotes, affirmations, or small tokens that represent hope, gratitude, and motivation. On difficult days, opening your jar and reading a message can spark comfort and remind you of your inner strength. Over time, your hope jar becomes a powerful reminder of resilience and self-belief.
What Is an Affirmation Jar?
An affirmation jar is similar in spirit but focuses on positive self-statements and personal intentions. Affirmations help reframe thought patterns, build confidence, and nurture a growth mindset. Each note in your jar becomes a gentle prompt, reminding you of who you are and what you are capable of achieving. Whether read daily or when you need a boost, affirmation jars are an effective tool for cultivating self-love and positive thinking.
What You Will Do in the Workshop
During the workshop, you will:
- Learn about the origins and purpose of hope jars and affirmation jars.
- Explore how written words and symbols can influence wellbeing and resilience.
- Create your own personalised jar using provided materials (jars, decorative items, colourful paper, pens, and embellishments).
- Write a collection of affirmations, hopeful messages, or gratitude notes to place inside your jar.
- Take away your completed jar, ready to serve as an ongoing source of inspiration.
This is a hands-on, creative session—no artistic skills are required, only an open mind and willingness to connect with positivity.
