Course Activities

• Over a seven-week period, learn eighteen different journal-writing processes for personal growth, creative expression, and life management. 
• Listen to presentations, learn guidelines and variations, and hear samples of each technique.
• Listen to entrance meditations guiding you gently into many of the writes.
• Share reflections, writings (always optional), questions, and “aha’s” with your classmates, and get written guidance from Certified Journal to the Self Instructor Carolyn Koehnline along the way.
• In an atmosphere of group support and respect for privacy, travel through these rich processes when the time is right for you.
