the details
Here's the "dive" map for how we'll get there (spoiler alert: there's lots of room for you to build-your-own expedition that's just right for you!).
Our Format:
Each week I'll bring our attention to one of five powerful purposes of journaling. We’ll experience that purpose through a learning session, personal writing exercises, and community discussions.
Your Time Investment:
You can customize your engagement to best meet your needs, mixing live participation with participation on your own schedule in the ways that work best for you.
Here are a few examples of what varying levels of participation may look like:
Your Financial Investment:
For a one-time payment of $199.99, you'll receive access to all of our course content and community spaces. You can stay and continue connecting and growing with your fellow journalers for as long as you'd like, for no additional cost. Plus, your newly deepened journal practice will be yours to draw upon and expand your whole life long!
Each week I'll bring our attention to one of five powerful purposes of journaling. We’ll experience that purpose through a learning session, personal writing exercises, and community discussions.
- Our 30 minute learning sessions will take place on Mondays at 12 noon EST (9 am PST) via Zoom; the sessions will also be recorded for those who are unable to attend live.
- Our 60 minute community conversation sessions will take place on Fridays at 12 noon EST/9 am PST via Zoom; to protect privacy, I’ll record a 10 minute summary video reviewing the major themes of our community conversation for those who are unable to attend live.
- In between our live sessions together, I'll help you apply the journal purpose we're focusing on through gently structured writing prompts and discussions in our online community forum.

meet our course creator + facilitator
I'm Laurie, and I'm both a licensed therapist and an avid journaler.
I'm bringing my professional knowledge and my personal experiences together to create this one-of-a-kind opportunity for growth, relationships, and self-care. I'm passionate about working with big-hearted, thoughtful people who need encouragement to turn that big-heart toward the self and support to integrate all those complex thoughts with the flow of emotions (because I'm on that same journey with you, journal friend!).
