Guided Journaling
Ready to generate new work and take a fresh look at your current projects? With guided journaling techniques you will dip into your subconscious to discover stories, fictional and real, that you are meant to share...or even publish!
For the first two weeks, I will ask you to press pause on the stress and distractions in your life. After two hours of active journaling you will emerge focused, energized, and inspired. With learned techniques for reflection, you will unearth themes, subjects, images--new insights that need to be turned into pages.
For eight years I've facilitated a six week workshop for experienced writers in all genres. Be it memoir, fiction, essay or poetry, each writer submits their best work 2-3 times prior to class, so we can read in advance and bring our full attention to each other's work.
This class is modeled after a traditional MFA workshop. We offer an honest and thorough critique of the craft elements employed and the work as a whole.
This is a challenging workshop for writers wanting to take their work to the next level and potentially publish. And we do have some fun along the way.
Advanced Writers' Workshop
Enjoy and master journaling techniques for expression, creativity, and personal growth. By looking at your past and forecasting your future, you can take action on your journal insights to improve your relationship with yourself and your connection to others and to our world.
Kathleen Adams' Journal to the Self process promotes “neuroplasticity” or change in your brain. Through varied prompts and guided meditations that lead you into the subconscious—you will write and reflect on your work and the writing process.
