Creative Journaling Workshops for Life Transitions

You know you’re going through transition when life surprises you with a new direction.  It can be an unexpected time of sadness, depression or joy. Some call it an unwelcomed fog or a storm that sneaks up on you. Change has a way of turning our head and heart towards a new thing and sometimes leaves our heads spinning in a whirlwind of chaos.

So now what?

Creativity no matter how small, gives a place to uncover and look at where your transition is taking you. In a self directed, no right or wrong writing process, this class is an opportunity to explore the place you now find yourself. How so?

These classes are for anyone who is...

going through or recently gone through a life transition: cancer, divorce, grief, empty nest, career changes, etc. If you’re kid, teen, adult, single, widowed, married, a mother, a father, care-taker or anyone who at some point has felt alone and somewhat terrified about the future, you’re invited to join these workshops.

No writing or art experience is necessary. We will use the Journal to the Self® Workbook which is filled with 18 writing techniques for writers and non-writers alike.  

In every workshop you’ll find...

  • Self-sourced solutions for organizing your thoughts

  • Relief from the weight of transitional seasons and why they are so important

  • Personal power in spite of the current season of “drought”

  • The writer within you, even if you’re not a writer

  • Record for the future of how your life unfolds

  • Guidance towards healing your relationships

  • Answers stored in your subconscious and unconscious minds

 

What the workshops ARE:

  • Safe place for non-writers

  • weekly/monthly group writing sessions

  • Contains various, solo, short writing exercises

  • Bonus: no homework!

 

What the workshops are NOT:

  • Not group therapy

  • Not a replacement for medicine or therapy

  • Not hippy dippy woo woo stuff

  • Group sharing optional
