Here’s your chance if you have ever wanted to tell your story—to express your insights, your humor, or your passion in words. Maureen A. Jung, Ph.D., will show you how to work with key stories from your life, to explore new meaning, to connect more deeply with your inner voice, to tap into the unique wisdom that is yours alone.
Using story mapping tools, you’ll identify a story or turning point in your life and plant seeds for story development. Though a series of writing exercises, you’ll begin to craft your story, and through this work, gain insight into your story’s larger meaning. Writing personal stories focuses your attention in a rich and powerful way, opening up a dialogue that can sustain you throughout life.
You will enhance your ability to:
• Connect with your inner wisdom
• Discover new possibilities and meanings in your life
• Liberate yourself from unresolved conflict and frustration
• Communicate from your heart
• Transform your world as you know it.
Who will benefit:
• Anyone who wants more from life.
• Those who have heard a nagging inner voice saying, “Write!”
• People looking for a proven approach to personal growth and life enrichment.
• Individuals who feel disconnected and unfocused.
• Seekers on the path to greater self-knowledge.
• Writers who want new tools to deepen self-awareness.
• Change agents ready to forge ahead.
