What we’re about
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!

Over two days, we will have an opportunity to learn from fantastic teachers through hands-on workshops, with a focus on application. This is not about listening to dry lectures on the theory of journaling — you’re here to write and to put into practice tools that can help you develop yourself, to help you become more aware, and to help you use these tools with others.
