Start Your Own Journaling Circle in 2026!
Details
You already know the transformative power of journaling, and now feeling ready to help others? Perfect! But how....?
You don't have to figure everything out on your own! Let me give you detailed guidance based on my extensive experience – and let's spread the love for the writing that touches hearts together!
About your teacher: Marusha is the founder of the International Barcelona Journaling Festival and Naked Words: Barcelona Journaling Circle and the International Journaling Community (non-profit organization). She has been running various journaling workshops for 6 years, including 2 years of the festival that attracts journalers from all over the world. In other words, your host knows a thing or two about writing groups and how to cook them :)
Let's meet online and create an action plan that is perfect for YOU and the people you have in mind. This practical and inspiring session is for anyone curious about starting their own journaling circle in 2026 — in person or online — without overwhelm, pressure, or performative “facilitation.”
This workshop is for you if you:
- Love journaling and want to share it with others
- Feel drawn to community, reflection, and holding space
- Are curious about facilitating but don’t know where to start (it's overwhelming, I get it!)
What we’ll cover:
- What makes a journaling circle work
- Simple formats you can start with
- How to hold space safely and sustainably
- Common fears (and how to move through them)
- A short guided journaling practice to get you going
- An action plan, tailor-made for you – so you can start as soon as you're ready!
- Group work – share your idea, the audience you're thinking to cater to, and get guidance on what would work best!
I'm happy to share everything I've learned about hosting writing groups – just because I believe that we need to get more people into healing writing. Let me help you, so you can help others.
We'll meet on Zoom (you'll get the link closer to the event). There will be a recording, but try to be there in person so we can discuss the idea you have on your mind.
