Journal to the Self®

Most writers use their journals in just a few simple ways, but not all types of writing are equally effective for every occasion. The Journal to the Self ® course, based on the work of journal pioneer Kathleen Adams, provides you with a toolkit of more than 20 expressive writing techniques you can use any time to mindfully access your inner world. Each technique is designed for a specific purpose. Learning when and how to use these techniques will give you clear and specific tools to:
  • Improve sleep
  • Reduce anxiety and depression
  • Feel more grateful and optimistic
  • Find clarity
  • Increase creativity
  • Build resilience
  • Develop compassion

The six week Journal to the Self class costs 330 Euros

The Journal Ladder

Drawing wisdom from leaders in the field, the Journal to the Self ® course works from the principle of the journal ladder. On the lowest rungs the techniques are short, structured, and concrete. On the highest rungs are techniques that are open ended, creative, and engage intuition.

After the course, you will have more insight into how to use your journal when you’re experiencing stress, how to capture and hold onto the beautiful moments of your life, as well as what techniques work well for decision-making and keeping track of the various themes in your life.

The 79 Cent Therapist

In Kathleen Adams’ book Journal to the Self, she describes her journal as a “79 cent therapist”, a safe and confidential space where she can speak her innermost truth. A journal can act as a confidant and guide and is always receptive and tolerant to what we express. A journal can act as a record of thoughts and feelings that inspire us to better understand ourselves, take time for self care, and heal from the pressures of daily life. Your journal is a mirror of your own self love, always there to encourage, inspire, and listen. Your journal is a powerful tool for mindful living.
