Hello friends,
For more than four decades, I’ve had the privilege of faciitating and teaching how journal writing transforms lives. And now, on March 14, a new chapter begins!
This year, we’re offering you some of the best and brightest up-and-comers in our field — the rising stars who represent the next generation of leaders, teachers, coaches and facilitators in therapeutic and expressive writing.
Across a quarterly series of live, interactive sessions in 2026, you’ll encounter new perspectives, practical tools and inspired approaches to using writing for personal growth, creative expression and life management.
March 14
✨ Choosing Hope When the World Breaks Your Heart – Kathleen Adams LPC
Through poetry and expressive writing, we will explore the ways hope can sustain us during challenging global times.
✨ Naked Words: All The People in Me – Marusha (Masha) Mozolevskaya
The workshop focuses on awareness and insight rather than problem-solving, inviting participants to listen more closely to their inner signals and values.
✨ Step Into Spring! Possibilities In Bloom – Kimberly Lee
This enchanting process blends reflective writing with the playful, intuitive SoulCollage. A list of simple supplies will be provided prior to the workshop. No writing or art background is required.
These are not simply presentations. They are fresh frameworks, new lenses, and living demonstrations of where journal writing is heading next. Whether you are a professional faciitator or a dedicated personal writer, you’ll leave with practical tools and expanded possibilities.
If you’re feeling the pull, join us here:
Can’t wait to see you at INKspiration 2026!
All best, Kay
