There is a silent language within all of us that reveals the truth of our thoughts, feelings, and emotions far more fluently than words. The language of the unconscious.
This language speaks in metaphor, symbols, dreams, poetry, and with questions & imagery.

Discover the Visual Journaler Methods
You will reveal your own imagistic language as it emerges from the depth of your subconscious, your personal source of wisdom, and a connection to your soul.
You will learn to notice your body process and use those sensations to delve deeper into self-inquiry and discovery. With this inquiry, you bring forward images and vague impressions into an artful layering process.
You will experience color as an intuitive and emotional expression. You will recognize the handles/symbols that hold personal meaning for you and begin noticing how they appear in your outer life.
This deeper awareness reconciles the inner life that wants to be expressed with the outer world of expectations and demands.
In The Visual Journaler(tm) process, we practice mixed media techniques to express our inner vision through color, creating backgrounds, adding layers with stencils, stamps, words, and collage.
Colors, symbols, and images become your language of expression. You will experience the transformation of your emotions and beliefs, self-identity, and possibly, even have a new relationship with your Higher Self.
We can also incorporate private coaching with your visual journaler classes if you are interested.
Explore Some of our Methods Below
Visual Story Finding
we explore the self through image, word, symbol, metaphor, object, and landscape. This form can help identify one’s experience through our stories, history, and intuitive knowing.
Symbolism
our first language was symbols, imagery, and metaphors. For many of us, this ability fades as language emerges. Through visual journaling we reconnect with this deeper form of expression.
Giving Voice
we draw on the combined energy of your strengths and your shadow and push you to the edges of expression. Practice will deepen the experience of inner trust by combining verbal and non-verbal exploration.
Illumination
unlike enlightenment gives us small glimpses of light, grace, insight, or perspective. These tiny sparks are just enough to stir your spirit.
Presence
is our connection to the moment, our willingness to gaze and let go of negative judgments. It allows inner vision to break through and unfold deeper meanings.
Seeing
not just looking. Seeing is when you create with compassion while “visually listening” to an inner knowing revealed in your journal spreads. In practice, you gain access to wisdom and beauty with yourself and the world around you.
