When There's No Map
your journal can be a compass + replay
There have been times in my life where I haven’t known where I am.
Not lost, literally, but more like: I honestly do not know which way to turn here.
This is where the journal stops being a place to vent and starts being a place to navigate.
I have a beautiful card deck that I show in the video below. There’s a card in there that served as my compass for three whole years because it seemed to know something about where I “was” that I hadn’t caught up to yet.
Your journal is a compass when it helps you unpack an image, a scene, an ache you can’t name yet; something you keep returning to because some part of you knows there’s a coordinate hiding within.
psst: get those contemplation cards here.
WHAT HAPPENS ON A JOURNALING CALL
WE MEET TWICE WEEKLY ON WEDNESDAYS & SUNDAYS
These are the kinds of sessions you can expect on our weekly calls.
Sometimes we use imagery, sometimes music, sometimes poetry. Whatever our muse, the goal is always the same, to practice being present to the longings of our hearts, bodies & souls so we are not ruled solely by our minds.
In this session, we enter into contemplation through an image to practice locating ourselves in real time.
Watch and maybe try it for yourself… see what wants to find you.
ART GETS MADE IN RESPONSE
We journal alone, together. Some people write. Some make art. Most do both. Whatever means of expression you choose, you have 20 mins or so to engage in that practice as a response to the prompt.
We all mute our mics & indulge in whatever music or podcast or silence feels good. I tip my laptop camera down so you can see me making art - some people have said they like that & that it inspires them, so I’m going to build a library with these clips.
These will be accessible to our CORAL REEF paid subscription tier.
WE SHARE OUR FINDINGS
Below is a highlight reel from a recent call to give you a sense of what the ‘sharing’ part of our sessions looks & feels like.
Going forward we will not be recording the sharing aspect of weekly calls as it does not feel congruent with the sense of containment we would like to offer here.
Instead, I intend on facilitating a more considered process for distilling & sharing the very rich wisdom that emerges from these sessions, on a monthly basis.
In the meantime, enjoy this little peak and… notice the joy.
REMAINING JULY CALLS OPEN TO EVERYONE
Myself & my friend Tammi Salas are each hosting journaling calls on Sunday evenings. I also host calls on Wednesdays.
We are both removing the paywall to attend our calls for the remainder of July.
We want you to feel what this life changing practice does for us.
