Visual Journal Journey:
An Introduction to Visual Journaling
Online class begins the day you register.
Join now & receive a Strathmore journal as a gift from me.

Register NOW, and learn to have a conversation with your heart...your soul.
To thank you for your confidence in me...and in YOU...I'll send you a blank journal.

I'll send you the first lesson on the day you register.

You will receive additional 5 weekly lessons by email on Friday evenings.

AND I've added a bonus lesson at the end. My camera is 3 feet from my journal as I work. You can easily see every step...and I explain what I am doing and why, so you understand.

Visual Journaling is a powerful technique we can use to communicate with our deep inner consciousness.

Carl Jung said "The soul speaks in images."

You do not need to be an artist to practice visual journaling, although many artists use it as a rich resource.

Your visual journal is a visual diary. It is meant for your own eyes...although you may choose to share parts of it.

You can color pages with paint and pattern to set a mood. Add pictures or photos that "speak" to you.
Since this is for your eyes only, you can use images from magazines or newspapers or books...or your own photos (without concern over copyright).
You may paint over parts you don't want to include...tear them up...reassemble them.
You may write on them...

The idea is to communicate with your deepest heart...your soul...your subconscious.

What you'll learn in this Visual Journaling Class will transform your life.

The first lesson will show you how your visual journal connects directly to your soul.

The first video will get you inspired to begin journaling..
The information is this class is priceless. You will learn to find any answer you seek by looking within yourself.
You'll understand how to connect with yourself, your heart and your soul to access answers you didn't realize you had. And you'll be introduced to the kinds of music that directly connect to your heart and open your creative center.

Register now, and I'll send you a BONUS gift of a journal. This bonus is my gift to you. I'll even pay the postage to you. I'll remove this offer when the journals are gone.

In the next 5 weekly lessons, I'll demonstrate the techniques I use to paint my journal pages.

I'll show you at least 10 basic techniques for painting your journal pages. All of the techniques also work for making original works of art, although your journal is not designed to be a shared work of art.

I'll show you how to cut a stencil and how to carve a stamp...so you can make your own stencils & stamps with symbols & images that are significant to you

Beauty is not necessary for a visual journal, although you may make it beautiful if you choose. I like for my journal to be beautiful so that it inspires me again every time I look at it.

I encourage you to work in your journal...daily for a few minutes if you can. But don't worry. Even if you don't work on your journal regularly, your creative right brain will be processing the information and developing ideas for you.

AND you'll have access to the video lessons for at least 6 months after the last week of class.

You can paint pages with your favorite colors.
The act of painting will help you get in touch with your soul.

You'll can watch the videos and then paint. OR you can bring your journal to your computer and paint as you watch. You can watch the videos as many times as you want.

A visual journal is an easy non-threatening way to begin to learn to paint, even if you have never held a brush.

If you are an experienced artist, you may use your journal pages to try out new painting techniques.

You'll see how easy & how much fun it is.

You can add ribbons to make your journal feel like fun.

You can make a cover to personalize it even more.

You can make pockets or add envelopes in which to tuck precious bits, notes & photos...
or whatever else you want to keep in this special place...perhaps a quotation
...or a secret wish that you aren't yet ready to recognize by actually writing it on a page.
Many important events in our lives begin as a secret wish. Write it down & tuck it in your journal.

If you use your journal for intimate discussions that you don't want to share,
but you think you may want to show your journal, you can paint over the confidential entries,
so they aren't visible. You still receive all the benefits of the process.

You can use your visual journal to explore goals or alternate paths, to resolve problems and more.
You can even use your visual journal to choose a vacation spot or design your garden...or the life you WANT.
The choice of how to use this tool is yours.I'm introducing you to the techniques and the power.

I have used the visual journaling process for many years in my own live.

I'm excited to share the power of visual journaling with you.

Some of the things I'll demonstrate in the videos are:

ways to color your pages
gluing techniques
lettering
hiding parts of images by painting over
making pockets to hold secret wishes & messages

Then you'll paint and work in your own journal.

I make this so simple that you will have boatloads of fun.
