Journaling is an effective way to gain deeper access into your inner life. This increased awareness will help light your path toward desired life changes. Guided journaling with others creates synergies that enhance its benefits as participants become witnesses of one another. This online workshop is an opportunity to embark on or boost your reflection practice in a supportive, safe and fun environment.
Journaling can help you:
- Reflect on and record life events, and thus unveil their meaning;
- Let your inner self speak so you can really listen;
- Give voice to your hopes, dreams, plans, and even regrets, trials and victories;
- Practice the skill of observation of the world around you, which will enrich your experiences, and enhance your writing abilities;
- Write on a regular basis so it becomes a habit; a vital tool for those who want to embark on writing projects, whether stories, blogging, articles, books, etc.
- Record and keep pace with any life venture or project you embark on, such as starting a new business, a garden, a diet and exercise challenge, daily spiritual reflection, etc.
Take this opportunity to explore your inner garden.
