You will receive a specially designed workbook and ample time to practice the techniques with other women.

Would you like to learn how to diminish and manage the symptoms of depression?  How to feel empowered and be active in your own healing?

Living with depression can feel overwhelming and confusing.  It can be difficult to focus on daily activities and to find pleasure.  Clinical research has proven that Journal Writing improves emotional healing, stress reduction and strengthening of the immune system.  This unique program teaches you how to personally evaluate the level of your depression and recognize specific signs of improvement.  You will also learn how to identify your individual skills in managing your moods and thoughts, as well as strengthening your physical health and spiritual awareness.

INDIVIDUAL JOURNAL WRITING INSTRUCTION

Are you interested in learning more about journal writing, or modifying the practice you already have, but would prefer not to be part of a class?  Would you like to meet a number of times,  individually, to see if a class setting would be a good “fit”?  Do you need a more flexible schedule than a weekly class?

Together, we can explore your specific journal writing interests.  We can meet as often as you’d like and create a journal writing routine that is specific to your needs and schedule.  As with the classes, we can incorporate any of the following:  guided imagery, art work, and a variety of journal writing techniques.

BOOK READING GROUPS

Would you enjoy sharing your thoughts and interpretations about a particular book that touches your heart?  Do you want to explore new books, perhaps ones you’ve considered but just “haven’t gotten around to reading” yet?   Do you enjoy getting together with other women to explore the meanings of a particular author’s words?  

Reading books can provide a great window into growth and worlds we never could have imagined.  When we share the experiences we gain through the words of a particular author, the new insights can encourage meanings we might not have discovered on our own.   Books are chosen by group suggestion and agreement. 

(Note:  Although the group meetings are free of charge, a nominal fee is requested to help cover immediate expenses.)
