About the Workshops Back to Question List How can the Intensive Journal method help deal with a specific issue? Some people attend our program because they are facing important issues in a particular area of their lives. They hope to deal with or solve these issues during the workshop. The role of the workshop is much broader - to help you connect with the multitude of experiences and emotions that comprise your unique life. Through this process, you can gain awareness and perspectives about the direction and continuity of your life, as well as realize strengths, interests and capacities. Then, after developing a foundation on your life, you may work through specific issues over time within the context of your entire life. We urge you not to place forced deadlines or pressures upon yourself. Sometimes, awareness occurs indirectly and at unpredictable times. We do not want to establish artificial expectations that would hinder the natural unfolding of awareness.
