Recording provided
Here’s what you’ll learn from Janelle:
Why writing about your life requires tending to your healing needs.
Three techniques for body-based healing - the OMG hack to help you shift out of resistance in 3 minutes or less (most people don’t know about this!), the gravity-is-your-friend technique, and sharing-the-good exercise.
How ancient tales like fairytales and myths are good-medicine stories designed to support your healing and writing process.
What resistance is, how it affects your personal and creative life and how to get unstuck.
How your body is your most trusted ally for shifting resistance and creative block — if you’re busy, fear not, you’re going to love how straightforward these techniques are.
You’ll also learn:
How Janelle made the connections in her life and on her healing journey between creativity, personal life story writing and her body
Why and how doing your healing work and examining your life experiences supports creative flow and releases blockages
And you’ll receive:
A replay recording
Resources for further healing, including a cheatsheet
a discount for Janelle’s transformational and body-centric memoir-writing course
