In the arid landscapes of Africa, elephants exhibit a remarkable behaviour: during droughts, they use their tusks and trunks to dig into dry riverbeds, unearthing hidden underground springs. This learned and instinctual behaviour not only sustains them but also provides water sources for other animals .

This workshop invites participants to draw inspiration from these majestic creatures. Just as elephants dig deep to find life-sustaining water, we too can delve into our inner selves to uncover words that nourish and sustain us. Join us as we explore how to access our internal reservoirs of strength, creativity, and resilience.

This workshop is ideal for anyone seeking to reconnect with themselves, cultivate resilience, and harness the power of journaling as a tool for personal growth.

Are you tired of feeling stuck in the same loop, searching outside yourself for answers you secretly know are within? This workshop is your invitation to break free – with joy, clarity, and connection. Using the AWAKEN journaling method and the powerful Joy Bridge exercise, we’ll move beyond outdated patterns and into aligned action. Through targeted prompts, somatic tools, nervous system regulation, and group sharing (yes, breakthroughs happen when we connect!), you’ll uncover what’s really holding you back – and what to do about it.

This is a dynamic, energizing, sometimes musical, and deeply empowering session. You’ll leave with a personalized roadmap, a renewed sense of purpose, and a big dose of inspiration.

What does the word story mean to you? Are stories important? Are they something we make up, or something real? What is the story *of you? Or do you have more than one story? Have you shared your stories before, or are they private things? What might make you feel safe enough to share a story?

In this workshop we will explore all of these questions, illuminating the role of stories in our journals, and in our lives. Playing at the intersection of therapeutic writing, memoir, and psychology, we will take an interdisciplinary lens to our journals as both a support for our mental health and a creatively fulfilling practice. You’ll learn a little of the psychology behind how we story our identities and take away plenty of practical exercises for applying this in your own journal and with others.

Metaphors shape the way we see ourselves and the world, serving as signposts on our inner landscapes. Through guided readings, reflective writing, and artistic map-making, we will chart personal terrains and give voice to the places within us that seek exploration and expression. We will begin by reading a selection of poems that use metaphor to create vivid inner and outer worlds. You'll be invited to reflect on the images, landscapes, and symbols that resonate with you. Inspired by these poems, we will embark on writing exercises that tap into our personal geographies – mountains of strength, rivers of change, crossroads of decision, and uncharted territories of possibility!

This workshop is open to anyone interested in poetry, journaling, and creative self-exploration. No prior experience is necessary.

So many of us try to avoid “negative” emotions – but what if they’re the very key to growth, healing, and self-understanding? In this gentle, reflective workshop, we’ll explore how embracing all our feelings – especially the hard ones – can become an act of radical self-care.

I’ll share parts of my own mental health journey and read poems from my award-winning book, To All the Magic in Me, chosen in response to your feelings and requests.

You’ll be invited to write a letter to any emotion of your choice – giving it a voice, a name, maybe even a personality. What is it here to teach you? What does it need? For those who feel called, there will be space to share.

Expect deep connection, meaningful conversation, and a new way to relate to the full spectrum of your emotional self.

Collage has a secret superpower: it sets your mind free. In this hands-on, heart-led workshop, we’ll let go of logic and perfection, and dive into the playful, intuitive world of collage as a tool for self-discovery. Through a guided process called stream of consciousness collage, you’ll explore your inner landscape without needing to write a word, though there will be moments for gentle reflection. You’ll warm up with a short journaling check-in, get a few fun facts about collage’s creative history, then dive into cutting, pasting, layering, and making meaning as you go. This is a creative pause – an invitation to explore without overthinking, connect with others, and see what emerges when you give your inner world a visual voice.

What if your future self could speak to you today? Let's take a journey inward to meet the most aligned, empowered version of yourself – and bring their wisdom into your present life.

Through a powerful blend of guided journaling, somatic practice, breathwork, and hypnosis, you’ll tap into the subconscious mind – the place where beliefs are formed and true transformation begins. You’ll be guided into deep relaxation, visualize your future self, and receive intuitive insights through a gentle hypnotic meditation. We’ll then move into reflective journaling with structured prompts to help you capture what you saw, felt, and understood – turning vision into action. Optional group sharing will create space for connection and inspiration.

You’ll leave with a vivid, written vision of your future self, tools to work with your subconscious for ongoing clarity and growth & a renewed sense of purpose and direction.

You're invited to this sensory-rich workshop, where we’ll use meditative writing, memory, and scents to reconnect with the tender, powerful voices of our past – and offer them love, recognition, and healing.

Through guided letter writing, colorful paper, sealing wax and evocative scents like lemon, coffee, peppermint and carnation, you’ll write to a younger version of yourself – the age when you most needed to be seen. In the second part of the session, you’ll be invited to write another letter: this time, from your past self to your future self – a message of care, curiosity, and quiet wisdom. These letters will become a personal time capsule, and can even be sent back to you one year from now.

Whether you come to process, to create, or simply to feel, this workshop offers a safe, soulful space to meet yourself with compassion across time.

In this workshop, we'll take a deep dive into the wonders of the unconscious with one of its most intrepid explorers. Not many people know that Carl Jung had a serious journaling habit, which became the basis for his entire psychological legacy as the great mapper of the

human soul. He was also funny, eccentric and highly inventive. We'll be looking at the lighter side of Jung as a way to connect with our deepest selves and to take a peek into the

miraculous ocean that is the collective unconscious. Bring your metaphoric snorkel, mask, a

waterproof notebook and your best underwater pen.

Our bodies store memories, emotions and untold stories. This workshop invites participants to use gentle movement, grounding breathwork and reflective journaling to release old narratives and consciously rewrite the ones that shape their lives. Accessible to all, with no special clothing, mats or prior experience needed, this session helps explore where emotions are held in the body and encourages expression through writing. Participants will leave feeling lighter, more present and empowered as they step into a new, intentional story.

Join us for a heart-centered workshop blending together breathwork, guided meditation, and gratitude journaling. We’ll clear emotional blocks, quiet the mind, and open space for love, clarity, and expansion.

We’ll begin by using the breath to ground ourselves and soften into the heart – letting go of tension and making space for joy. In meditation, we’ll tune into the frequency of gratitude, then anchor that energy through journaling. With pen to paper, you’ll release what no longer serves you and send gratitude out into the universe – transforming heaviness into lightness, and worry into peace.

This simple but powerful combination is a total game-changer, one that you can take home and weave into your daily life to transform the way you move through the world.

Expect the unexpected! This is an embodied exploration of therapeutic writing – a space to go deep, safely and intuitively, using trauma-sensitive writing tools developed over years of practice.

Through guided exercises, we’ll access hidden gems within and explore the stories that shape us. This helps us access our inner jewels and create a clearer understanding of our path going forward — opening to a new awareness of who we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re going.

"There are many layers to a story and perspectives to take into consideration when exploring our memories. By digging deep and experimenting with an open mind we have a lot to gain"

This deeply personal and transformative workshop is designed to help you explore the hidden parts of yourself through journaling. By embracing your shadow — the unacknowledged or misunderstood aspects of who you are — you’ll uncover untapped strengths, wisdom, and potential. Through guided journaling exercises and self-reflection, you’ll learn how to integrate these shadow aspects and step into your most authentic and empowered self. We will also use the Unleash Your Ink deck of journaling prompts to practice our "unleashed" free-flow writing. This workshop is perfect for anyone ready to explore their depths, heal, and transform on the path to personal growth.
