“The Journal Workbook is much more than a diary or collection of exercises. It is an integrated system of writing activities to access your feelings, life events and spiritual inclinations in an organized way”. – Bill Israel, Journal Workshop facilitator
Time Commitment: The 6 sessions (90 min) will take place on: Oct 29, Nov 05, Nov 12, Nov 19, Nov 26, and Dec 03 at 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm.
What is it? A private, safe, reflective writing process for family caregivers, focused on compassionate self-nurturing and self-discovery. Participants write privately in their individual, structured journal workbooks.
How Does it Work? No special writing skills required. Individuals write privately in a meditative, small group setting. Short periods of writing follow brief verbal instruction on personal life-event categories. No sharing or “verbal cross-talk” in the sessions. Short periods provided for participants to voluntarily read aloud in the “sacred space” of the workshop group.
What are the Benefits? Respite from effects of stress and fatigue. Non-judgmental introspection, self-understanding, and meditation. No analysis or diagnosis. Improved somatic (body) awareness, emotional balance, and spiritual resilience.
