Facilitator-Guided Journaling Workshop

Facilitator-Guided Journaling Workshop

This 8-session workshop guides participants through a series of structured journaling practices designed to deepen self-awareness, clarify identity, strengthen personal agency, and expand emotional and relational intelligence. Each session focuses on a key dimension of inner development:

1) awareness of self

2) identity

3) power

4) time

5) motivation

6) attention

7) rules

8) perspective-taking 

Through guided teachings, reflective questions, and take-home practices, participants learn to see themselves and their relationships with greater clarity and compassion. This workshop is ideal for individuals navigating transition, seeking personal growth, or wanting to reconnect with their inner voice.

SESSION 1 — SELF & OTHERS AWARENESS
This session invites you into a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships. You’ll explore how you make sense of your reactions, how you interpret other people’s behavior, and how familiar patterns shape your interactions. As awareness grows, it becomes possible to pause, choose differently, and relate with greater clarity and compassion.

We will explore the concept for a few minutes, then examine examples of how this manifests in our day-to-day life. We will delve deeper by exploring journaling for a few minutes in response to prompts, to emerge from this conversation with greater clarity about our awareness within this dynamic. We will write our responses to each prompt, and you may share your thoughts or the experience of journaling as much as you feel comfortable. We will conclude the session with a wrap-up and a practice prompt. 

No need to attend all workshops. Feel free to only come to those that interest you.

Led by Shabnam Curtis, certified Integral Life Coach and published memoirist.
