The Art and Soul of Journaling – Spiritual Journaling as a practice to invite God, explore possibilities, and begin again.

“Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life. The secret of success is in turning that diary into the best story you possibly can.”
— Douglas Pagels

Begin anew. A journaling practice brings with it a clean slate.  Each time you sit down to write, you enlist beginner’s mind and are offered a fresh start on the blank page. Regardless of what lays behind, you can remember that God writes your life and offers new opportunities, insights, and meaningful reflection.

Spiritual Journaling invites spiritual awakening, a respite for weary times, and a place to hold wishes and dreams. Putting pen to paper your thoughts glide out of you and onto the page. Slowing down to write, you connect with yourself, with God, and with something deep within you. “

During this enriching workshop you will explore the art of journaling and begin to see what is possible. Opportunities for new discoveries and awareness around what is important to you will reveal themselves as you move through the day’s exercises and interactions. The day will include silence, reflection, inspirational journaling techniques, and small and large group sharing.  New and seasoned journalers will enjoy a day steeped in this beautiful, insightful practice.

Please bring a journal and pen. You are invited to bring and share poems and prayers you’ve written.
