Write, Then Remember: A Dialogue With History And Your Future Self

Wat je zal leren
This is not a course about predicting the future—it’s about remembering who you’re becoming. Over 13 guided journaling sessions, you’ll explore the wisdom of your own lived experience, the insight of your future self, and the powerful echoes of history that remind us we are never alone in our questions. Blending personal reflection, breathwork, and time-tested storytelling, Write, Then Remember is a practice of returning to what you already know—beneath the noise, beneath the doubt, beneath the wait. By the end of this course, you will: • Establish a daily writing ritual that connects you to your intuition, emotions, and embodied insight in just 15 minutes a day. • Strengthen your connection with your future self, allowing you to receive guidance from the version of you who’s already moved through what you’re currently facing. • Develop emotional clarity around themes like fear, self-worth, grief, creativity, and trust—without needing to “solve” them all at once. • Explore historical and cultural frameworks (from samurai courage to Sufi wisdom) that ground your inner process in real-world meaning. • Learn how to write from intuition, not analysis, allowing clarity and direction to emerge through stream-of-consciousness journaling. • Integrate your inner voices—the afraid one, the hopeful one, the wise one—into a more whole, self-trusting inner dialogue. What You Can Expect Daily Guided Sessions (13 total): Each day includes a short teaching, a reflective prompt, a breath-based grounding practice, and a five-minute writing window where you write as your future self. Historical Anchors: Every session introduces a real-world reference—whether it’s the Oracle of Delphi, Leonardo da Vinci’s notebooks, or Victorian mourning rituals—to root your self-reflection in collective memory and meaning. Journaling Prompts That Deepen Over Time: This isn’t just freewriting. It’s intentional dialogue between your present moment and your future knowing. The more you show up, the more insight you’ll access. Personal Integration Practices: You’ll end each session with a brief closing reflection to help carry the message forward into your everyday life. Themes That Evolve With You: From grounding and fear to purpose, boundaries, joy, and trust, each day builds on the last, guiding you from uncertainty to deeper clarity and self-remembrance.

The Door Opens – Oracle Of Delphi, Sacred Listening, & The Temple Of You
You begin your journey not by forecasting the future—but by remembering the wisdom already inside you. Inspired by the Oracle of Delphi, this session reframes your journal as a sacred space, and your breath as the key to accessing inner guidance. You’ll explore what feels unresolved right now and invite your future self to respond. This isn’t imagination—it’s an act of remembering. The door to deeper clarity begins to open the moment you ask a better question. Meditation/Journaling Music: Path To Harmony Music by Grand_Project from Pixabay

What You Feared – Samurai Wisdom, Nervous Whispers, & The Courage To Step Anyway
Today, you explore your relationship to fear—not as a flaw, but as a companion. Through the lens of Bushidō, the samurai code of presence and movement, you’ll reflect on the quiet ways fear shapes your decisions. You’ll name what feels scary right now and hear from a future version of you who stepped forward anyway. This is where courage begins: not in being fearless, but in being willing. The sword you carry is your truth. Meditation/Journaling Music: Path To Harmony Music by Grand_Project from Pixabay

What You Were Worth – French Revolution, Assigned Value, & Remembering You Were Already Enough
Before worth was measured by performance, it was inherent. Today’s session draws on the radical shift of the French Revolution to examine how you’ve internalized the need to prove your value. You’ll uncover where you’re still chasing approval and connect with a future self who stopped auditioning. This isn’t about becoming more—it’s about realizing you’ve always been enough. No one else gets to assign your worth. Meditation/Journaling Music: Path To Harmony Music by Grand_Project from Pixabay

What You Let In (And Left Behind) – Hathor’s Horns, Love Without Disappearing, & The End Of Shrinking
Not all love is love. Today you explore the difference between connection and compromise, through the fierce, radiant lens of the Egyptian goddess Hathor. You’ll identify where you’ve been giving too much, and welcome the insight of a future self who stopped trading authenticity for affection. Real love doesn’t require you to shrink—it invites you to expand. This is the day you remember the cost of staying small.

Where You Drew The Line – Desert Mystics, Sacred Boundaries, & The Peace That Followed No
Some clarity comes not through more effort, but through withdrawal. Inspired by the Desert Fathers and Mothers, this session reframes boundaries as acts of reverence, not rejection. You’ll reflect on where your energy is leaking, and hear from a future self who stopped apologizing for protecting it. Boundaries aren’t about pushing people out—they’re about choosing where your soul can breathe. This is the day you draw the line—and keep it.

What You Created – Da Vinci’s Sketches, Messy Starts, & The Freedom Of Not Being Ready
Creation doesn’t begin with confidence—it begins with a spark. Through the unfinished brilliance of Leonardo da Vinci, you’ll examine the belief that you must be polished to begin. You’ll name the thing you want to start, and receive encouragement from a future self who chose movement over mastery. The masterpiece isn’t the point—the process is. Today, you get to make something anyway. Meditation/Journaling Music: Path To Harmony Music by Grand_Project from Pixabay

What The Body Knew – Chinese Medicine, Emotional Organs, & Rest As A Radical Act
Your body is more than biology—it’s a storyteller. Informed by traditional Chinese medicine, this session helps you tune into the emotional signals your body sends every day. You’ll notice where fatigue, tension, or hunger are asking for attention, and connect with a future self who began to listen. Healing doesn’t start with force—it starts with compassion. Today, you return to your body as a place of wisdom. Meditation/Journaling Music: Path To Harmony Music by Grand_Project from Pixabay

What You Let Go – Victorian Mourning, Grief Rituals, & Laying Down What Hurt To Hold
Grief needs shape. Through the structured rituals of Victorian mourning, this session invites you to name the losses you haven’t fully grieved—people, dreams, or versions of yourself. You’ll acknowledge what’s too heavy to carry forward, and write with a future self who laid it down with tenderness. Grief is a form of love with nowhere to go—until now. This is your permission to feel it, and to free it. Meditation/Journaling Music: Path To Harmony Music by Grand_Project from Pixabay

What Called You Forward – Sufi Mystics, Hidden Threads, & The Rhythm Of Purpose
Purpose doesn’t always arrive as a lightning bolt—it often begins as a whisper. Rooted in Sufi traditions of love and spiritual rhythm, this session explores how purpose is revealed in small moments of alignment. You’ll write about what’s tugging at you now, and hear from a future self who followed that thread. This isn’t about chasing a title—it’s about trusting a feeling. Today, you let your life speak.

Where You Belonged – Chinua Achebe, Fractured Identity, & Coming Home To Yourself
Belonging isn’t about being liked—it’s about being seen. With inspiration from Chinua Achebe’s reflections on fractured identity, you’ll examine where you’ve shaped yourself to fit. You’ll explore what it means to be whole instead of pleasing, and hear from a future self who found spaces that welcomed all of them. The masks can come off now. You’re already enough to belong, exactly as you are. Meditation/Journaling Music: Path To Harmony Music by Grand_Project from Pixabay

What Made You Smile Again – 1960s Joy, Barefoot Rebellion, & Laughing Before It Was Safe
Joy isn’t frivolous—it’s a form of resilience. This session calls back to the countercultural spirit of the 1960s, when joy became protest and pleasure became power. You’ll reconnect with what lights you up, even in the midst of uncertainty, and listen to a future self who laughed before the circumstances were perfect. You don’t have to earn this feeling. Joy is allowed in the middle, not just the end. Meditation/Journaling Music: Path To Harmony Music by Grand_Project from Pixabay

What You Trusted – Hebrew Wilderness, Daily Manna, & Moving Without The Whole Map
Trust is built one step at a time. Guided by the ancient Hebrew story of manna in the wilderness, today’s session invites you to let go of the need for a full plan. You’ll notice where you’re gripping for control and hear from a future self who chose alignment over anxiety. Faith doesn’t mean having all the answers—it means moving anyway. This is where your trust begins to grow. Meditation/Journaling Music: Path To Harmony Music by Grand_Project from Pixabay

One Last Message – Jungian Wholeness, Inner Voices, & The Return To The One Who Knows
This final session isn’t a goodbye—it’s a turning inward. With help from Carl Jung’s idea of individuation, you’ll integrate all the voices you’ve met: the brave one, the grieving one, the quiet knower. You’ll write from your future self one more time—but maybe it won’t feel like “them” anymore. Maybe it’ll just feel like you. The guidance isn’t going away. It’s becoming your own.
