Wordcatching 1 - Journaling Workshop by Carolyn Koesters

Enhance your journal writing by learning the healing and reflection exercises you can use any time, any where, with your journal. Through journaling prompts including poetry, stepping stones, and freewriting, we'll be looking at what brings you to this retreat, what you will take with you, and what you will release. Techniques covered will strengthen your relationship with your deeper self, your inner wisdom, and perhaps help you to reconnect to what you already know. Bring a strong intention to release what you do not need to carry with you any longer. There will be ample time for self-exploration and application of techniques.

Please bring a stone with you.
