19578 - Keeping a Journal

Course Overview

The process of journaling is an effective way to keep in contact with our own thoughts, relieve anxiety, increase creativity, improve our writing or create more joy in our everyday lives.

Even in times of uncertainty or conflict, it is imperative that we are in touch with our inner selves to appreciate who we are and where we are going spiritually. This class will examine creative and meaningful ways of keeping a journal. There will be writing assignments and we will profit from sharing these journal entries in class. We will gain insights by reading from famous, published journals. We will reflect on our personal lives and speculate about the next stages of our journeys–perhaps even the end.

Journals can also serve as a fun and useful time capsule, as they are almost inevitably an invaluable record of our personal histories and are often a prized possession as a legacy to pass on to the next generation.
