Journaling for Comfort, Clarity & Healing
2020-01-18 13:00 - 16:00
Journaling for Comfort,
Clarity & Healing
What if you had a tool at your fingertips which could help you 1) relieve personal stress, 2) make sense of the insensible, 3) problem solve, 4) hold conversations on paper with people who are otherwise inaccessible to you, 5) breath and move easier as well as 5) celebrate the goodness in your life? Well, it is all as close as a blank book and a pen…..as Glenda Good Witch told Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, “You had it all along!” AND it can be very helpful to have a tour guide to help recognize these things.
Maybe you kept a ‘diary’ as a teenager. Or perhaps you’ve read ledgers of the daily events of others. Do you enjoy memoirs or family histories? It is quite likely that all of these began as means of personal record keeping – a life accounting of sorts. Some wrote only facts and information (the price of bread in 1923 or the weather/crop reports), while others wrote extensive entries about what life was like AND how it felt to live it.
If you can make a list, you can journal – literally. It is simple – though not easy. Writing out happenings, feelings and thoughts is a proven therapy for improved health and well being. It is an act of empowerment of both claiming and releasing which can lead to greater understanding and freedom to live life more fully.
Journaling has been clinically proven to help grief, arthritis and asthma (Pennebaker). In addition, it is a safe, 24 hour on-call personal therapist for downloading emotions and feelings as well as problem solving. Writing it out can be especially valuable in times of high stress. Reading journals after some time has passed also has the benefit of reminding oneself of how far they have come on the journey…or not… as well as offering a priceless perspective on life experience.
This experiential workshop includes foundation journal information, in-group writing, optional sharing as well as practical exercises for further individual work and application outside the workshop setting.
This program is designed to teach simple, practical, safe ways to explore and capture thoughts and feelings in a journal. Safety is key to creating an environment where people are willing to write and if they choose, to share. In honor of creating an optimal place for expression, there will be no ‘critiquing’ or comparisons.

Objectives: Participants will learn how to:

Get started in a new journal
Record life steppingstones in multiple areas
Develop journal dialogues with people, situations and body
Summarize journal entries
Deepen journaling experience with courageous exercises
Begin a gratitude journal
Mine personal journals for insight and additional leads

When: Saturday, January 18, 2020 from 1:00 pm- 4:00 pm. Please click here to sign up.
Cost: $20.00

Angels and Oils
2019-09-19 12:30 - 14:30
Join us for a Compassionate, Heartfelt Healing Workshop
Marilyn Poscic is an Angel Messenger, Medium and Reiki Master since 1999. She receives messages from the Angels and is a Medium for loved ones who have crossed over. We do not understand the intense emotional pain and suffering a loved one may be experiencing in their life that brought them to ending it. In this workshop you may get answers to your questions, find out what Angels are in your life, their name, color and messages they may have for you. Marilyn will be available for 10 minute mini personal readings after the workshop for anyone interested in connecting with their loved one who has passed.
Karen Janusz is a Certified Aroma Freedom Technique Practitioner, a Reiki Master and Certified Holistic Wellness Coach. She is here to assist with your healing process.
In this healing workshop you will experience how essential oils may help with the grieving process. The sense of smell is directly connected to the limbic system in the brain where our emotional memory is stored. A simple and effective technique called Aroma Freedom Technique will be introduced to assist with this heartfelt emotional process and restore meaning and purpose in one’s life. Each participant will have the opportunity to create their own essential oil blend for healing to take home.
