A structured journaling course with 18 techniques and a live cohort to build a lasting, self-guided writing practice.
This is Journal to the Self, a six-week method built around 18 journaling techniques. Kathleen (Kay) Adams, director of the Center for Journal Therapy, created it in 1985, and more than 100,000 people have used it to journal with purpose and clarity. Ana Juma, a certified Journal to the Self instructor, leads the course.
You begin with the 5-Minute Sprint, Life Balance, and the Character Sketch. Later weeks cover Clustering, Springboards, the List of 100, Unsent Letters, Dream Log, Guided Imagery, Art Making, and more. The goal is not more pages. It is just enough structure to know what to write, plus enough freedom to hear yourself.
Coaches, therapists, and facilitators use the same techniques to bring safe, research-based writing exercises to clients and their own circles.
