Poetic Journaling

In this four-day course, students will explore Poetic Journaling, the practice of taking your daily journaling practice and using it to not only to explore your emotions and begin to heal difficult past experiences but also find deep meaning in your life. Each lesson will focus on something different.

Together we’ll explore the idea of what it means to be vulnerable, not just on the page but in life. We’ll play with the idea of meaning and how sometimes you can extract deep meaning from objects that might seem unimportant and from the most simple and seemingly mundane experiences. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn how to use poetry to begin to move on, release and maybe even heal from those more painful memories and experiences in your life. I'll share poetry, writing prompts, and something new for you to learn in each lesson.

This is a great course. I’m a business writer who Has brought a creative flare to my reporting. But I never considered poetry. This course opened up a whole New World for me. Thank you, Carolyn.

A door I thought was locked has now opened and I have stepped into a room full of endless stories, prose and poems waiting to be written.
I thank you from my heart and my mind.

This course is one I will certainly repeat. I was stuck. I had made several attempts to return to journaling. But this is more than I expected. Poetry. I will remember your words- it isn’t about the product. Its about the process. Thank you Carolyn. And thank you for your support.

It took me a long time to finish listening to the course but although I came back several weeks later, I'm still on time and I like that. I need to finish the writing and I will...and I'll listen again like it is the first time.

Excellent class, for everyone who is human. I believe that whether you are interested in poetry or not, you should show up to this class because you will definitely learn something that helps you grow as a person. I had a wonderful time listening and learning and also working on some poetry since I am one who does enjoy writing. Give yourself an opportunity to become more of who you’re meant to be and take this short but fun and immensely valuable course!

Thank you, I love this I have opened up so much of myself to myself that I have only now been able to express, let out and extinguished through this journaling!

Thank you for following your call and sharing this 🙏

Great course. Writing, a place where anyone can go. You learn about yourself, just by how you see or describe simple objects. It takes the fear out of writing.

Thank you for this course short but activating a child in me that want some profund listening and hugging 🫂

This was truly an amazing journey. I’ve learned more about myself and my poetry abilities and how to tap to my inner voices. Thank you and Brightest Blessings 🫶🏼🌎🙏

Thank you for this course. I feel as though it has been apart of my healing journey. I'm grateful to have poetry apart of my life. I hope someday have my poems in a book. This course has gotten words on the page release mental stress I've been dealing with. I no longer have to hold it inside me anymore. I release my fears and I open the door to allow the light to turn on. It's like the orange in poem, it resembles the light.

This was a fabulous mini course and I’m sure I will do again to gain more writing insight skills particularly with regards to writing poetry and verse.

Thanks! A worthwhile, short, inspiring, doable course.

I found this course very helpful, especially liked days three and four. Surprised myself with a poem I wrote on day three, happy with it. I will continue to refer back to this course when I need refreshing. Thank you!

Great course to kick start your writing potential. Thank you.

I’ve always wanted to try writing poetry. This course helped me “get out of my own way” so to speak and enabled me to put pen to paper. I predict I will revisit this course often.
