Integrate your life experiences in a meaningful way
Experience the healing and grounding powers of creative journaling, combined with mindfulness practices. Experience a ‘flow’ state; a state where brainwaves slow down, and thoughts are better able to form. Access your creativity and your courage. And experience how the pleasure and satisfaction inducing chemicals (endorphins) that are produced during a creative activity will leave you with a sense of wellbeing.
