Workshop Modules

The Intensive Journal program is segmented into three core modules that are typically 12 hours in length and spread across two days. Each workshop builds upon the previous one, so the modules must be taken in sequence.

You can sign up for one workshop and then decide how you would like to proceed after completing that program.

The Intensive Journal method is experiential learning. You apply each exercise directly to your own life as our leader guides you step by step through the process.

Part 1 - Life Context Workshop (LC)

Gaining a Perspective on Life

Learn the basic operating principles for using the Intensive Journal method through direct experience in your own life.

This workshop covers approximately half of the exercises in the Intensive Journal workbook.

Gain greater awareness of the continuity and direction of your life as it reveals what it is trying to become.

Generate insights about major areas of your life, including personal relationships, career and special interests, and body and health. The dialogue process provides a unique way to gain feedback and momentum as you deepen your understanding of these areas.

Part 2 - Depth Contact/Process Meditation Workshop (DC)

Symbolic Imagery and Meaning in Life

Deepen your experience as you focus on the exercises in the second half of the Intensive Journal workbook.

Learn how to use Progoff's unique non-analytical method to draw forth messages from your inner symbolic experiences. These experiences can provide important leads in your unfolding life process.

Apply Process Meditation techniques to develop your spiritual process in the context of your entire life. Explore experiences of connection that have had significant meaning, gain insights about your ultimate concerns, and explore major themes in your life. Progoff's advanced meditation techniques provide an avenue for greater reflection.

Prerequisite: Part 1 - Life Context (LC)

Part 3 - Life Integration: Progoff Journal Feedback Process Workshop (LI)

Integrating the Life Process

Progoff said the Journal Feedback process is the "essence of the Intensive Journal method and one of my main contributions."

Experience the cumulative dynamic process created by working with material in one workbook section and seeing how it can lead to entries in other related areas.

This progressively deepening process generates inner momentum and energy as you apply Progoff's non-analytical Journal Feedback techniques. Your workbook becomes an active instrument as you approach situations from different perspectives.

New awareness and growth become possible as you realize connections between diverse areas of your life. You draw your unfolding life process forward as you move toward greater wholeness and integration.
