Benefit from a Wide Range of "Locations" and Scheduling Formats - Check Out Your Options!
We offer many workshops to choose from to meet your needs.
Workshop "Location": With Zoom you can go anywhere!
We offer you considerable scheduling choices to meet your needs such as:
- Attend a program in your geographic area to obtain the local feel that suits your needs;
- Choose a weekend or weekday program;
- Attend a week-long 3-part series or spread the modules over several weeks;
- Select a program based upon your interest in a specific leader.
3-Part Series: The traditional six day in-person program is now an eight day online version. We added a day off between each module to overcome "Zoom fatigue." Most programs go from Saturday-Saturday. We urge you to try to stay with the process in between modules on a day off.
Tuition Prices: Our fees are modest and standardized across all locations. Life Context (Part 1): $225; Depth Contact (Part 2): $210 and Life Integration (Part 3): $210; All 3 workshops: $625.
Listing on Our Regional Workshop Calendar: "ONL" designates that the workshop is being held online. Example: LC-ONL is the Life Context module that is held online.
Attend 1, 2, or all 3 Workshops: Register for as many modules as suits your schedule and needs. You must take the programs in the order in which they are listed.
Experience with Zoom: Zoom is easy to use. We encourage you to create a free meeting (up to 40 minutes in length that can be renewed) with a friend to try Zoom. Go to Zoom.us to explore this possibility.
Attend the 3 Core Modules
The three core modules that comprise the 3-part series are:
Part 1 - Life Context: The Life Context workshop covers about half of the Intensive Journal exercises providing you with a very solid experience as you develop a foundation and perspective on the continuity of your life. You can gain insights in such diverse areas as personal relationships, career/special interests, body and health, and prior experiences in your life.
Part 2 - Depth Contact: Building upon your work in the first module (Life Context), Depth Contact covers the remaining exercises in the Intensive Journal workbook, primarily in the areas of dreams and imagery and meaning in life.
Part 3 - Life Integration/Journal FeedbackTM Process: The Life Integration/Journal Feedback process helps you develop the material from each of the exercises that you wrote about in the first two modules and see connections among different areas of your life. Dr. Progoff considered the Journal Feedback process to be the essence of the method.
Learn More About Our Program
While no preparation is needed for the Part 1-Life Context workshop, you may wish to read about our program on our website intensivejournal.org. Here are some recommendations:
Workshop Description: Read our brief summary of the program and workshops. See Quick Summary. The Intensive Journal workbook is a unique instrument; its structure and procedures help you organize your life and gain amazing insights. See Workbook. The workshop atmosphere of privacy, silence, and neutrality is very important for the method to work. See Workshop Atmosphere.
Articles: There are a number of articles on our website - two that many people find helpful are: 1) a description of the workshop experience - The Way of the Journal and 2) an interview with Dr. Progoff that provides information about the Intensive Journal method and his philosophy for self development - The Write to a Fulfilling Life: An Interview with Ira Progoff.
Diverse Applications: Our website contains a great deal of information about how our method can help people with different backgrounds and interests such as health issues, professional development, social service programs, spirituality, and practical life issues such as personal relationships and retirement. See for example Retirement.
Help Us Create New Opportunities for Organizations to Participate Through Zoom
Many organizations (churches, counseling centers, etc.) have sponsored a Life Context program by registering 12-15 participants, or simply offering a 1-3 hour introduction to the method. We conduct the program through Zoom.
I urge you to think of possible organizations or groups of friends who might be interested. People are looking for safe activities to pursue during these challenging times.
Reconnect With Your Life!
Has it been a while since you have attended an Intensive Journal program? Many people attend once, have a great experience, and feel they have "done it".
However, your life is an ongoing evolving process with new issues and perspectives developing over time, and our program provides you with a conducive atmosphere and discipline to deepen your awareness. Perhaps the online format creates an opportunity for you to participate.
Thanks for your interest and involvement. Please contact me at 330-998-6000 if you have any questions or want to register. I look forward to hearing from you.
