About us
Hello and welcome to our amateur writing group!
If you're curious how writing can help in your everyday life, or if you love everything connected to words, and if you would like to try easy but powerful journaling methods in a friendly set-up and with a glass of vermouth (we're in Barcelona, after all!) – this is your group!
My name is Marusha, I'm a writer, book writing coach, journaling mentor, creator of the Naked Words writing program and founder of Barcelona Journaling Festival. I preach the superpower of feel-good writing to everyone. I use journaling for self-therapy and as dynamic meditation. It also works great to boost your creativity and overcome writer's block if you feel stuck or drained.
Feel free to follow my Instagram account for tips and inspiration!
My workshops are an eclectic mix of simple but efficient techniques such as guided journaling, expressive writing, narrative therapy, and personal storytelling. When we meet, I explain how different techniques work and then we scribble away our thoughts, feelings, and observations.
The group's language is English but you can write in your mother tongue, it's not an issue! Whatever makes you feel good and at ease.
Don't worry, you won't need to read to the group what you wrote (unless you really want to). This is not a fiction writing workshop, it's about your deep inner work and opening up by writing it down.
Why journaling is an excellent self-help method:
- Get to know your real feelings through simple but effective journaling tips
- Structure your thoughts, get honest with yourself and give your life a good seasonal clean-up!
- Write about important events of your life even if you're not a writer
- Get rid of writer's block and enjoy writing in a safe, supportive group of fellow amateur writers!
Everyone's welcome!

### Barcelona Journaling Festival is coming! ✍️✨
Love journaling? Curious about it? Have 35 beautiful notebooks you’re afraid to ruin? Stationery fan? Love digging deep in your self-reflection process? You’re ONE OF OUR KIND!
Barcelona Journaling Festival is a weekend of writing, creativity, reflection, conversations and plenty of good reasons to put your phone down and pick up a pen.
Come for the workshops, stay for the community, discover new ways to journal — or simply find out what all the fuss is about.This year's themes are: EMBRACE THE CHAOS & REWRITE YOUR STORY.
We will be journaling to explore the following topics: money mindset, overcoming creativity blocks (and other blocks, too!), modern dating, grief and loss, trauma, ancestry, the wisdom of your body, rewiring your brain, shadow work, childhood memories, and how to stay in love with life when everything seems to be falling apart.
Working with others? You'll also pick up tools for facilitating groups, using poetry therapy in coaching, and getting your book into the world through traditional publishing (using the tips from our insider!)
There will be something for everyone. We'll get you pumped, inspired and full of insights.
No journaling experience required. No perfect handwriting required. Just bring yourself (we'll get a notebook or two for you – we know you'll love it!)
Let’s write it all out 💛
