Guided Journaling
This decade seems to be all about turbulence, change, and general instability. In moments of disorientation, creative practices are grounding and restorative, and provide a light-hearted way to make sense of the world and discover new possibilities for yourself. They also connect mind and body and train the imagination to explore, solve problems, and make new discoveries.
Each 1-hour session takes you through a sequence of easy writing and/or drawing prompts to help you get centered, play, and dream on the page.
LOVE LETTERS:
“Sharna, you have such a gift for breaking lessons down into very insightful and clear steps, but they are not reductive, either! You thread this needle so well in your writing, teaching, facilitating.”
“It’s fun to look back on my sketches from your classes plus extra ones I’ve done during some free time and I’m always amazed what came out in those single hours I was zoned into the creative process.”
“I loved that it was simple and not overwhelming to a beginner, but still very rich because of all of the possibilities the prompts could open. I went into it excited but apprehensive, sure that I was not and could not be an artist. And I came out knowing that that is all nonsense, that we are all artists, and that I could tap into this form for fun, exploration, and guidance in my daily life.”
