***I highly recommend completion of Soul JournalingSM Days 1-22 before taking this workshop.***
They can be found here or by clicking on the PROMPTS link above.

Marrying many of the techniques I use in my own journal, I have created a new 5 lesson Soul JournalingSM workshop packed with techniques that stretch the imagination of what a visual journal can be. Not only can these techniques help you to see the limitless possibilities you have in your journals but you can carry them with you to other facets of your creative work as well.

You must come to this workshop with an open mind. Your journal is your safe place in this world of chaos and the art we will be creating here is not for our critics, our friends, our husbands, our parents or our kids (though if you want to share you can). The art we will be creating is for us, for our souls. Beautiful or ugly, happy or sad this is our space to speak the truth. Your truth. Let go of your preconceived notions of what "Art" should be and join me in…

What students are saying about Soul JournalingSM: Advanced Techniques:

"You are just an amazing teacher Sarah. I really like the way you lay out the supplies for each day in the photos and in written instructions. You make it very simple- no stress. I believe that part of what is so helpful for me is you give us the basics and then I can take it to the next level and add personal touches or changes to the assignment. There is no right or wrong answer. No matter how we do it, or how the pages come out, it is the right way! This gives way to inspiration for me. Thank you so much." -Heather.
