Journal to the Self
Explore the various
aspects of yourself, your life and your relationships with others through
journal writing techniques designed for personal growth and creative
expression. Through these techniques you will connect with desires and wishes
simmering just 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. Journal
writing is a simultaneous journey into the known and unknown. At the end of the
day you will leave having discovered something about yourself and with tools
you can use to continue your journal journey on your own. No writing experience
is necessary, just a curiosity and an open mind and an open heart.
Based on the work of
Kathleen Adams, author of Journal to the Self.
