Self-Paced Courses
Journaling for Grief
Grief doesn’t follow a schedule, and it doesn’t always have words. This self-paced course offers a gentle, supported space to use journaling as a companion through loss — whether you’re in the early rawness of grief or carrying something you’ve held for years. Through audio recordings and written materials, we’ll explore approaches to writing that don’t require you to have it figured out, that make room for anger and love and confusion all at once, and that help you stay in relationship with what — and who — you’ve lost. Work through the material at your own pace, on your own timeline. Once you register, you’ll have access to everything for a full year.
Pricing: Pay-what-you-can: $75 (sustaining) / $60 (standard) / $45 (reduced)

30-Day Journaling Accountability Group
Who this is for: People who’ve wanted to journal more consistently and haven’t been able to make it stick. People who’ve taken a therapeutic journaling workshop and want to go deeper. People navigating grief, caregiving, chronic illness, or any other hard thing who want a structured way to process it. People who work better with accountability than without it.

— A simple tracking form you fill out each time you journal (takes less than two minutes)
— A weekly personal summary from me based on what you’ve logged
— A community space to share insights and encouragement if you want to
— A closing Zoom call to reflect on the 30 days and celebrate what you built

Journaling for People Who Want to Journal But Don’t A 2-hour workshop via Zoom
These workshops are not recorded, in order to maintain privacy and confidentiality for all participants. Slides will be shared with participants after the workshop.
You’ve tried journaling. You stared at the blank page. You wrote three sentences, decided they were terrible, and never went back. Sound familiar? This workshop is for you. We’ll throw out everything you think journaling is supposed to look like and find an approach that actually works for your brain, your schedule, and your life. No prompts you have to take seriously. No pressure to be profound. Just you, a pen and paper or a laptop, and a surprisingly good time.
Pricing: Pay-what-you-can: $75 (sustaining) / $60 (standard) / $45 (reduced) / Free for MSU Denver email holders
- 2027 dates will be announced later this year
Journaling for Closure A 2-hour workshop via Zoom
These workshops are not recorded, in order to maintain privacy and confidentiality for all participants. Slides will be shared with participants after the workshop.
Sometimes the universe doesn’t give us the ending we needed. The conversation that never happened. The apology that never came. The relationship that ended without explanation. This workshop bridges therapeutic journaling with the work of finding closure on your own terms — using writing not to pretend things are resolved, but to find a way to carry them that doesn’t cost you so much. If you’ve taken the Getting Closure When the Universe Doesn’t Give It to You course, this workshop makes a powerful companion practice. The intro course is not required.

Quarterly Read + Reflect Session A quarterly journaling body-doubling session via Zoom
One of the hardest parts of a journaling practice is making sense of what you’ve written. The insights are in there. The patterns are in there. The things you’ve learned about yourself this quarter are in there. But it’s easy to fill pages and never go back, never harvest what the writing has given you.
Read + Reflect is a quarterly two-hour session designed to help you do exactly that. We’ll get together, read back through the last few months, and use guided activities to help you identify what you’ve learned, what’s shifted, and what you want to carry forward. I’ll be there to guide the process — and so will everyone else, body-doubling for each other so the work actually gets done.
This is the accountability your journaling practice has been waiting for.
Sessions meet at the end of each quarter, timed so you can follow up with the Year in Review workshop in December.
Pricing: Pay-what-you-can: $30 (sustaining) / $25 (standard) / $20 (reduced) / Free for MSU Denver email holders

Year in Review: A Journaling Intensive A 2-hour workshop via Zoom
These workshops are not recorded, in order to maintain privacy and confidentiality for all participants. Slides will be shared with participants after the workshop.
Once a year, it’s worth slowing down and asking: what actually happened this year? What did I learn? What do I want to carry forward, and what am I ready to leave behind? This annual December workshop guides you through a structured journaling process to close out the year with intention and clarity. It has become a tradition for many participants — a quiet, reflective space before the new year begins.
Pricing: Pay-what-you-can: $75 (sustaining) / $60 (standard) / $45 (reduced) / Free for MSU Denver email holders

A Conversation That Changes Things
In Development
Journaling Through Chronic Illness and Disability — Self-Paced Course
Living with chronic illness or disability means navigating a body that doesn’t always cooperate, a healthcare system that can feel dehumanizing, and a life that may look different than you planned. Journaling can be a powerful tool for processing all of it — the grief, the adaptation, the unexpected gifts, the hard days, and the moments of real joy. This course is designed specifically for people who are living this experience and want a space to write honestly about it.
This course is currently in development and will be available as a self-paced experience — audio recordings, written materials, and journaling prompts you can work through on your own timeline. Once you register, you’ll have access for a full year.

Journaling for Caregivers — Self-Paced Course
Caregiving is one of the most demanding and least acknowledged forms of labor there is. It asks everything of you — your time, your emotional reserves, your patience, your grief. This course creates a rare space that is just for you, not for the person you’re caring for. We’ll use journaling to process the complicated feelings that come with caregiving: the love and the resentment, the exhaustion and the tenderness, the loss that begins before loss arrives.
This course is currently in development and will be available as a self-paced experience — audio recordings, written materials, and journaling prompts you can work through on your own timeline. Once you register, you’ll have access for a full year.
