Catherine Ann Jones

There is a Native American parable about a grandfather who says: “I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is vengeful and angry; the other is loving and compassionate.” When asked which wolf will win the fight in his heart, the old man replies, “The one I feed.” Today we will discover how to use journal writing to “feed” the stories that heal us rather than the ones that keep us stuck. Our lives may be determined less by past events than by the way we remember them. If we learn how to re-frame the pieces of our past and rewrite our life story so that our pain becomes meaningful, we can radically boost our chances of healing, empowerment, growth and transformation. Focused journaling is an extremely powerful way to achieve that aim. Join award-winning writer and global teacher Catherine Ann Jones on an inner adventure, a step-by-step journey of self-discovery and re-visioning of our lives through focused journaling as we change our perspectives to make meaning out of memory and put the past where it belongs—behind us.

Note: No previous writing experience is necessary.
