The ‘Intensive Journal’ comes to Morgantown

(This news courtesy of Terry McNemar.)

The Intensive Journal workbook is the basic instrument in which you write about your life. It is a three ring binder containing tabs, each of which covers a specific area of your life. Examples include personal relationships, career and special interests, body and health, events, dreams, and meaning in life. The structure of the sections and corresponding writing exercises in the workbook mirror the subjective process of perceptions and thoughts taking place inside you. For example, Progoff believed that the way to work with dreams and other forms of imagery is through an unfolding process, rather than analyzing or interpreting them, and this unfolding process is implemented in the exercises pertaining to dreams in the workbook. Therefore, the structure avoids the problems of unstructured journals that tend to diminish and eventually neutralize themselves, and result in analytical and circular forms of thinking. The structure also makes possible the Journal Feedback process which you will learn.

In Morgantown: a "Intensive Journal" Introductory Class in "Life Context" -- based on the writings and teachings of Ira Progoff, PhD -- will be presented on November 4 (9 am - 5:30 pm) and November 5 (9 am to 3:30 pm)
