“A Spiritual Journal a tool for self-discovery, an aid to concentration, a mirror for the soul, a place to generate and capture ideas, a safety valve for the emotions, a training ground for the writer, and a good friend and confidant.” (Klug, 2002: p7). It is all these things and “written before God and in the awareness of the relationship he has established with us.” (Osborn, 1988; p4-5).
This session will explore the notion of spiritual journalling, its intent, purpose, joys and challenges. We will consider several approaches that may help you to put pen to paper, write, create and reflect. You will be invited to immerse yourself in the act of journalling. You will take quiet time in the session to spill your words across the page, draw the images from your mind, and sit quietly with your creativity to see what you learn about yourself.
A spiritual journal is deeply personal, and you will not be asked to share what you have written, but we will reflect together on the process of touching your pen to the paper, using your hand as a channel for your thoughts to flow from mind to page, and how this might enrich your journey of faith and relationship with God.
Bring your favourite pen or pencil and some fresh, unblemished paper ready to unfold your thoughts. If there is a bible verse, poem or image that has spoken to you recently, then bring this too.
