what journaling students are saying

"I am amazed to (re)discover the grounding and perspective-altering power of journaling."

- Yvette P.

"I was quite surprised about the insights and new perspective I gained."

- Patricia F.

"I really liked how some prompts spoke to each other and how some days build over the others. The connections were brilliant."

- Sujata S.

"My biggest take-away is how different journaling is with prompts than the stream-of-consciousness, 'morning pages' style of journaling I've done most of my life. It's helped me get more specific in reflection and the specificity has led to clarity on a number of issues."

- Kerry Ann R.

"At first, I thought the challenge would be a great way to get me started on my creative writing skill building project/goals - 15 minutes of attempting to let loose and free write every day. I've come to appreciate that it can be and do a lot more than that, including bringing greater clarity, anxiety management (and dream activation!)."

-Vanessa P.

"I learned that the subconscious has so much to share and tapping into it could often bring up insights, answers to questions and plans of action to forward my research."

-Rashida B.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does the Spring Journaling course run?

The 2025 Spring Journaling course runs from Saturday, April 12 through Saturday, April 19. Live sessions are offered at 11am Eastern on April 12, 16, and 19.

How much time does it take?

Each of the daily sessions is designed to be completed in 15-20 minutes so you can build this experience into a workweek. Daily sessions can be completed any time of day. Live sessions are optional and run for one hour. We will use that day's prompt for a chance to write together, followed by Q&A/discussion.

Of course, you can take this experience even deeper by carving out more time. If it's possible, feel free to make this course the theme for a full week of retreat and reflection!

What if I miss a day or get behind?

Don't worry about it. Join live when you can and complete the lessons at your own pace.

I don't consider myself a good writer. Is this for me?

Journaling is for your eyes only. There are no rules, and you don't need special talents. "Good writing" (however defined) doesn't matter when you're writing for yourself, just like you don't need public speaking skills for intimate conversations.

What if someone reads my journal?

Notebooks today attract less attention than phones and computers, but if privacy is a strong concern, write what you're comfortable writing — or write what you like and then rip it up. You can think of your journals as first drafts of your thoughts. You don't need to keep them in order to benefit from the process.

Do we share what we write as part of the course?

No, participants will not share their writing. On the live calls we'll share thoughts and reflections on the journaling experience.

What if I can't make the live sessions?

The live sessions are a great way to connect, but they are not essential in order to dive into journaling and complete the retreat experience. Video recordings will be available.

Do I need any special tools?

Just a notebook and pen. Writing longhand has documented benefits, but participants who prefer typing are welcome to use the digital tool of their choice.

Will I have access to the prompts after April 19?

Yes. You will receive the prompts by email.

Why Journal?

Journaling — writing for your own eyes only — is a powerful, immediately accessible practice that has been shown to substantially improve both mental and physical health with just a few brief (10-15 minute) sessions per week.

In addition to:

reducing stress
improving problem-solving
lessening symptoms of depression and anxiety

Journaling also initiates a cascade of health-promoting processes that:

reduce inflammation
improve immune function
and even relieve symptoms of high blood pressure, asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Anyone can unlock these benefits with just a pen and paper.
