Is the programme for you?

Possibly not. The Joyful Inner Circle is about going deep with ourselves and one another.

We will be showing up monthly ready to metaphorically hold hands through the process of deepening our journal practice, reviewing the basics and becoming who we are with the support of the page. For that reason it *is* for you if you're ready to show up and share. It *is not* for you if you don't want to share your journal journey with others.

FAQ

  • “I want to join the group, but I’ve never stuck with a journal practice before…”

    You won't be alone. I often meet individuals who have tried and "failed" to keep up a journal practice. This tends to be because they've not found much joy in the writing. If that's you - this course invites you to approach your journal in a whole new, much more enjoyable way. The things we enjoy come naturally. We don't have to "force" joyful habits. This programme will help you connect to the fun and freedom of a journal practice, and therefore see it stick like never before.

  • “I can’t make the live monthly Zoom circle because I’m in a different time zone. Should I still join?”

    While I am in the UK, I work with people all over the world and all the Zoom circles on this programme will be recorded for easy catch-up. If you can't make the live virtual circle but you know you'll benefit from a live element, I'd recommend opting for the $175 option that includes a live one-to-one with me.

  • "Do I need any special materials or tools?"

    Not at all! Just internet access and something with which to write. The online classroom works best on a laptop or desktop computer, but can also be accessed from a tablet or phone. All the worksheets are printable, but can optionally be copied into a journal of your choice. You're encouraged to gather journal supplies that are meaningful and fun for you (special pens, decorative washi tapes etc.) , but simple pen and paper will always be enough.
