Introduction To Transformative Journaling – Learn a Simple 5 Step Technique

Just as yoga supports physical flexibility, a growing body of research shows that writing can be a highly effective tool to support psychological flexibility, explore our feelings and navigate our life experiences from a place of compassionate curiosity.

In this two-hour workshop you will learn a simple but effective 5-step technique underpinned by neuroscience that engages with the faculties of your left and right brain to help promote cognitive flexibility and allow a greater degree meta-awareness.

The workshop will include a series of short writing exercises of between approximately 5-15 minutes and small group discussions aimed at helping you:

• - Connect with your intuition.
• - Gain a greater degree of self-awareness.
• - Develop reflexivity.

The focus is on outcome rather than process so previous writing experience is necessary and there will be no pressure to read anything out. Although this workshop is therapeutic, it’s not therapy so you are invited to go at your own pace and work with the material at a level that feels right for you.
