B. Discounts and New Workshops

1. Small Group Discounts

If you are associated with a small group (at least 6 people) who would like to attend one of our existing workshops where Dialogue House conducts the registration (most workshops), we can offer a group discount to each participant. People within the group can attend different workshops as long as Dialogue House handles the registration.

2. Host an Introductory Session

Dialogue House conducts 1-3 hours introductions of the Intensive Journal method for organizations that can organize a group of 12-15 people. Participants learn key principles of the method, experience sample writing exercises and then can elect to enroll in a full-length (2 day) workshop to continue learning the process. Please urge an organization to host an introductory session and then discuss with Dialogue House

3. Host a Full-Length Workshop for the General Public

Organizations that can organize a group of 12-15 people can host or sponsor a full-length (2 day) workshop. Sponsors promote the program and register participants, and in return, earn a percentage of the revenue.

We can use your help in obtaining an introduction to an organization that may wish to sponsor. Possible sponsors include growth centers, churches, counseling centers, writing groups, etc.- any group that can organize a group.

4. Host a Full-Length Workshop for an Institution

Since the Intensive Journal method can help practically anyone, we have conducted our program for audiences that are served by various government and social service agencies. We are looking to add workshops in the health care field (addiction,depression, cancer survivors), including with caregivers. In the area of spirituality, we have conducted many programs in seminaries and for sabbatical programs. The possibilities are practically endless. The fees that are charged are much less than for a public workshop. The scheduling of hours for the program are also extremely flexible
