Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Hōlōs Journal is held together with durable, lightweight, non-corrosive anodized aluminum discs. Unlike traditional bindings, these discs won’t chip, peel, or wear down over time. More importantly, they allow for smooth page-turning and make it easy to add, remove, or rearrange pages—so your journal evolves with you.

  • The Hōlōs Journal is proudly founded, designed, printed, assembled, and shipped in the USA. While some materials are responsibly sourced from international partners, all final production and fulfillment take place domestically.

  • Of course! Contact us directly if you would like additional customizations that are not provided currently in our online shop.

  • We believe intentional living includes caring for the planet and supporting the people we share it with. That’s why every detail of The Hōlōs Journal—from materials to production—reflects our commitment to environmental stewardship and meaningful social impact.

    • Printed Responsibly in the USA
      Our journals are printed and assembled in partnership with Mercersburg Printing, a family-run business that leads the industry in sustainable printing. Their practices include solar-powered operations, zero-chemistry press plates, bio-renewable inks, and comprehensive recycling systems—reducing environmental impact at every step.

    • Recyclable Materials
      Every page of The Hōlōs Journal is printed on recyclable paper. We avoid plastic coatings and use high-quality, durable paper so your journal can be fully enjoyed—and responsibly recycled—when its life cycle is complete.

    • A Purchase That Gives Back
      Each leather folio cover is handmade in Ukraine by a family-owned artisan workshop. Your purchase directly supports this small business and helps sustain their craft during an especially critical time.

    • Quality That Lasts
      By focusing on durable, reusable components—like our disc-bound system and refillable inserts—we reduce waste and encourage a thoughtful, less disposable approach to planning and journaling.

    We are committed to continually improving our practices and exploring new ways to give back—because a journal that helps you live with intention should also align with values that extend far beyond the page.
