Steps to a Focusing Journal

This 3 part series introduces a way to support your interior process by working with flexible visual templates for self-guided Focusing. This practice is different from “regular” journaling — where composing sentences can sometimes feel fraught or keep you from touching the deeper core that wants movement or relief. I will provide a template that allows participants to adjust and re-invent as needed.

We will begin by clearing a space on the page in a benevolent container to hold your process. We will pause to witness what we are holding, select affirming words, and hone the potential to take the process deeper. Each session will be dedicated to a phase or different theme in this process, with time for solo work, group sharing, and small pair sharing/focusing.

​Potential Themes & Templates:

​1- Clearing a space and supporting my process

2- Working on a single issue

3- Acknowledging my gifts & strengths

4- Inviting particular qualities to my life & process

5- Channels of Communication

​

Please bring blank paper, writing implements, and colors that you like to work with.

All are welcome to attend. Some experience with Focusing will be helpful but not required.
