Journal to the Self® — 6-Week Course
Journal to the Self® is a six-week guided journaling course designed to help you explore your thoughts, experiences, creativity, and perspectives through writing.
Over six Monday evenings, we'll explore a variety of journaling techniques in a small, supportive group. Some may feel familiar; others may give you completely new ways to approach the page.
Journaling can give you space to think things through, notice patterns, explore different perspectives, make decisions, capture what's happening in your life, and understand yourself a little better. This isn't about finding the "right" thing to write or producing polished work. It's about discovering different ways the page can be useful to you.
You don't need to consider yourself a writer or already have a journaling practice. You don't even need to know what you want to write about. Curiosity is enough to begin.
We'll write together, experiment with different approaches to journaling, reflect, and have opportunities for conversation and connection. What you write is always yours—you choose what, if anything, you want to share.
The course meets for six Monday evenings, 18:00–20:00, at Espaço Aberto in Cascais.
Your registration is for the complete six-week course. This is a closed group, meaning we'll begin and move through the course together rather than having new participants join individual sessions.

You don't need to be a writer. Just curious. 🌿
