The New Creative Journal
by Anne-Marie Jobin
In our society, we are so often focused on the external, and this creates a lack of connection to our inner world. And yet, in order to be in sync with ourselves, to hear our own questions and answers, it’s towards this inner world that we must turn.
New Creative Journaling™ is a method aimed precisely at creating that bridge: using the three languages - writing, drawing and collage - it allows us to access the unconscious which ultimately leads us back to ourselves, to our creativity.
This unique tool, accessible to all regardless of artistic “talent,” facilitates insight and decision-making, which contribute greatly to a feeling of power over our many life choices. This comprehensive, easy to understand, and therapeutic book includes all the techniques of New Creative Journaling,™ as well as a variety of exercises, and an overview of its foundational theories. It will help guide you in developing the most enlightening, inspiring, and soothing practice possible.
