Your inner life can be radically different than your outer life. This is what makes journaling about your life so radically liberating. No one can create your story except you. When you follow what Gail Straub and Loung Ung call the “red threads” back into the labyrinth of your life, you become a spiritual detective solving the mystery of your own existence, creating a meaningful design of your destiny. This is what it means to use journaling as a spiritual practice. Straub and Ung show you how to use journaling as a spiritual practice to help make sense of your life. Through lecture, journaling exercises, artwork, and reading and listening to life stories, you find your own “red threads.” During the weekend we explore: - The cosmic cause and effect at play in your life and hidden patterns that can reveal unseen continuity
- How to gain greater emotional clarity as you give up regrets, set betrayals right, and release unspoken feelings
- Ways to find intimacy and closure with beloveds who have died
- How to balance the facts of your life with the power of your imagination to journal a story that liberates you
Counseling professionals can use this powerful process to help their clients. Bring a journal. Gail Straub is executive director of Empowerment Training Programs and the author of numerous books, including her award-winning memoir, Returning to My Mother’s House. empowermenttraining.com Loung Ung is a human rights activist and author of two memoirs, First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers and Lucky Child. loungung.com |
