REDWOOD RESILIENCE

Journaling for groups

Redwood trees show us that being connected and helping each other strengthens the grove.

Doing a trees&breathe writing workshop is a healthy outlet for your “grove” (group) to refresh connection, reduce stress, and increase strength. Your group may be professional, community, interest, family, friends, or any other way you define a group!

Whatever your group and whatever your needs, I will custom-design a guided journaling workshop to meet them.

Why do groups do trees&breathe workshops?

Some groups want a self-care activity to increase calm for their members.

Others are looking for healthy outlets to ignite clarity for problem-solving.

Still, others want to enhance wellness and connection among group members.

Here’s how we plan a guided journaling workshop for your group:

  • We’ll chat about the needs of your group.

  • You’ll choose the length and the location of the workshop. We can have a workshop indoors, outside, or online.

  • You’ll decide if you want any add-ons to the journaling portion, such as gentle movement, yoga, or conversation.

  • I’ll design and deliver a workshop based on your decisions.

  • I’ll guide your group through gentle calming activities and powerful journaling prompts to privately reveal deep thoughts.

  • Group members will feel clearer-minded, relaxed, and/or re-energized.

And a few more things:

  • I offer the workshops online and in person.

  • Zero experience in guided journaling is required.

  • I’d love to discuss your ideas.

  • I’m dedicated to creating what works best for you!

    I couldn’t believe the difference in my thoughts between the beginning and the end of the [workshop]. I went from tired and not able to think clearly to energized, enthusiastic, and supported in an hour.

FAQs journaling for groups

  • No experience is required. As long as group members can use a pen and embrace new ideas, you’re good to go!

  • The workshops can be profound and useful for anyone who wants to gain a calm and clear mind. The workshops offer strategies for digging deep into your mind to reveal truths that are sometimes hidden. Knowledge of these truths can lead to increased clarity and self-awareness needed to make important decisions.

  • Absolutely! That’s why we chat first. We’ll have a conversation about what you are thinking and then target what will be best for your group.

  • No. You will keep your writing private to be honest with yourself. However, if we have an optional conversation time, members are free to share the impact of their experience.

  • Group workshops are immersive experiences where you will be focused on the words and sentences of your journaling. We don’t want to disrupt your members’ newly gained calm and clarity, so we will save optional questions and comments until the end of the workshop.

  • Everyone will need a writing book and a pen or pencil. No worries, I will send you a blurb with all the details about the workshop that you can send out to your members.

  • My workshops are designed with adults in mind (aged 18+); however, I can design an appropriate workshop for younger people as long as they can participate as required.

  • Sure, as long as they have an Internet connection and their space is quiet, allowing them to immerse themselves in the workshop.
