Participating in the Intensive Journal® workshops was a life-changing experience. It was the first time I had really sat down for an extended period of time and explored major events in my life and what meaning they have had for me. As I became familiar with the process, I began to feel a sense of perfect freedom knowing that no one would ever see what I was writing. As the workshop went on, my workbook became filled with memories I had forgotten. As I reread them, I found many unexpected connections. The program provides an excellent guide toward self-discovery and has been of great assistance in my transition from full-time employment to retirement.

Retirement was a big transition for me. Using the Intensive Journal® process helps me take stock of my life, identify interests that I want to pursue, and make sense of new situations. The workshop was a tremendous help.
