Hi! I'm Terri Altschul!

Discover a New World of Journaling

Welcome to the Visual Journaler, where your thoughts, dreams, and creativity come together to form a unique and vibrant journaling experience. We believe in the power of self-expression and the profound impact it can have on personal growth. That’s why we created a process to take your self-development further while also creating beautiful pages.

The Visual Journaler was born from a desire to merge the timeless art of journaling with the limitless possibilities of visual expression. I envisioned a platform and community where self-exploration would combine with text, images, paints, and other art supplies.   A process that would feel as personal as a handwritten diary yet dynamic and expressive bringing your inner world to life.

A Guided Pathway to Personal Growth and Insight

This guided journey combines introspective reflection with artistic expression, allowing you to connect with your deepest thoughts, emotions, and dreams. It’s not just about creating art; it’s about creating a better understanding of yourself and your path forward.

(1) Setting Sacred Space and Creating an Environment for Transformation:

  • Physical Preparation: Find a quiet and comfortable spot free from distractions.
  • Mental Clarity: Set an intention for your journey, focusing on what you hope to achieve or discover.
  • Emotional Connection: Surround yourself with objects or symbols that resonate with you, creating a sacred space for transformation.

(2) Turning Inward and Connecting with Yourself:

  • Reflection: Focus inwardly on your thoughts, feelings, dreams, and challenges.
  • Connection: Engage with your inner self, acknowledging what surfaces without judgment.
  • Insight: Embrace this time to discover what drives you, what holds you back, and what inspires you.

 (3) Responding with Art Materials:

  • Expression: Use art materials to create a physical manifestation of your internal exploration.
  • Creativity: Allow yourself to explore different mediums and techniques freely; there’s no right or wrong.
  • Engagement: Connect with your subconscious through creative expression, unlocking new perspectives.

 (4) Gazing & Noticing:

  • Observation: Examine your artwork, paying attention to colors, shapes, textures, and overall composition.
  • Analysis: Look beyond the surface to interpret the deeper messages hidden in your work.
  • Understanding: Recognize how your creativity speaks to your personal growth, dreams, and challenges.

 (5) Making Meaning: 

  • Reflection: Reflect and apply discoveries to your life.
  • Application: Consider how these insights can be applied to your life for growth and development.
  • Transformation: Embrace the lessons learned as a valuable part of your ongoing personal journey.

Whether you’re seeking clarity on your goals, looking to overcome personal challenges, or simply wanting to explore a new form of self-expression, this process offers a nurturing and empowering experience. No artistic experience is necessary – just an open mind and a willingness to explore. Join us as we guide you through this transformation, one step at a time.

Visual Journaling has taught me how to mine my life's more profound lessons and see more deeply into myself.  I have discovered new self-awareness, healing, and inspiration by integrating the coaching process with art materials.  This process is wholing and combines our inner and outer worlds.
I'm excited to share this journey with you!

Terri Altschul's Official Creds...

I'm Here to Be Your Guide!

I can create a safe container within which you can explore the unknown parts of yourself.  I can hold space while you laugh, experiment, cry, and feel any emotion you need.

I can teach you the tools I use to go on this creative journey – and it doesn’t require any art experience AT ALL!

I’m in this to help you realize your full potential and make a positive difference through our free content, coaching, online training programs, and anything else we offer to help you unleash all that is uniquely and brilliantly you.

In the Visual Journaler, we express ourselves using art materials and a coaching process. It’s fun! It’s insightful!  

AND NO ART EXPERIENCE IS NEEDED!

My commitment is to bring you the best of what I’m living and learning while keeping it real and honest as I go. So please don’t expect perfection (I’m always learning). I have days of self-doubt and fear too. But do expect thought-provoking ideas, a lifetime of wisdom, the ability to turn lemons into lemonade (some of the most interesting spreads result from mistakes), and an unwavering devotion to help you live your most expansive, expressive, and meaningful life.

What if everything you dream of is just outside your comfort zone? Won't you regret not having reached for it?
