You will learn to work with your experiences and emotions to gain awareness and insights to give your life greater direction, clarity and purpose.
The Intensive Journal Workbook is an integrated system of writing exercises for accessing your feelings and experiences in an organized way. Our certified leader will guide you step-by-step in an atmosphere of privacy and reflection.
The Intensive Journal method is an international program created by Ira Progoff, Ph.D. It has a 50-year history of helping over 175,000 people gain more clarity and awareness. Since the 1950’s, Dr. Progoff devoted his life to the exploration of new ways to encourage creativity and to enhance individual growth. He was a leading authority on C.G. Jung, depth psychology and transpersonal psychology as well as designing integrated writing systems for self-growth.

ABOUT THE RETREAT
ABOUT THE RETREAT
The atmosphere in which the Intensive Journal method is used is unique and critical for the method’s effectiveness. Imagine yourself in a room, where our leader guides you step-by-step through the Intensive Journal exercises. The leader will describe an exercise, providing background information about its purpose and then outlining how the exercise can be done by you as you apply it to your life.
A period of quiet follows when you apply the exercise to your life. Participants may ask questions and read what they have written voluntarily. We do not engage in intellectual discussion about our lives or the method in order to keep a deepening atmosphere of quiet.
Participants are introduced to the deeper than conscious and spiritual dimensions. You will experience how Entrance Meditation ™ techniques can help you access your inner process.

“When our attention is focused inward at the depth of our inner being, in the context of the wholeness of our life, resources for a profound knowledge of life become accessible to us.”
