Journaling Retreats

Dance with your inner wisdom as you explore the various aspects of yourself, your life and your relationships with others through journal writing techniques designed for personal growth and creative expression.

Journal writing offers many health benefits - including stress reduction, releasing emotions and getting in touch with one’s true self.

During this special six-week virtual retreat, we’ll be exploring 18 different journaling techniques that will connect with unconscious desires and wishes simmering slightly below the surface and outside of your awareness. If there are places you need healing, you will find them. If there are places to celebrate joy, you will find them. If there is a path or direction waiting for you, you will find it.

Based on the work of Kathleen Adams, journal therapy pioneer and author of Journal to the Self, this workshop will offer tools to begin and maintain a journal, an understanding of its benefits, and the opportunity to practice several different journaling techniques.

Journal writing is a simultaneous journey into the known and unknown. By the end of this workshop, you will have discovered something about yourself and with tools you can use to continue your journal writing journey on your own.

No writing experience is necessary, just a curiosity and an open mind and an open heart.

Each participant will receive:

• A spiral-bound Journal to the Self workbook which will be mailed prior to the start of the virtual retreat.
• An invitation to join an online forum where we’ll be exploring 18 different journal writing techniques and engaging in a dialogue about the benefits of journal writing.
• An opportunity to join two group coaching calls where we’ll discuss the value of journal writing and how we can apply it to real-life scenarios. (Participants who attend the calls live will be able to share specific situations and get guidance on which journaling techniques work best)
• Access to recordings from the two group coaching calls and pre-recorded visualizations designed to accompany the journal writing process.
• Access to supplemental materials specially-selected to enhance the journal writing process.
• Six weeks of personalized journal writing support in the online forum and on the group coaching calls.
