Journaling Sessions
Bring journaling to your team, community, or event
Guided journaling sessions, designed and facilitated for groups of any size — online, in person, or as part of your next offsite or retreat.
A shared, yet personal experience
While journaling is a deeply personal practice, writing alongside others brings out our shared humanity.
For centuries, people have gathered in shared spaces to pause, reflect, and make sense of their inner world.
These journaling sessions offer a modern way to return to that — creating a space where individuals can turn inward, while strengthening connection, perspective, and collective insight within the group.
A structured approach to reflection
In my journaling sessions, participants are introduced to the science behind journaling, understanding how writing supports mental clarity and emotional processing.
Through a series of thoughtfully designed exercises, I guide the group step by step, helping them move beyond surface-level reflection and into deeper insight.
Workshops are interactive by nature. Participants are invited (but never pressured!) to share their reflections and experience, creating a space for connection, perspective, and collective learning.
The result is a shift in how journaling is perceived — not just as a personal habit, but as a powerful tool for thinking, feeling, and relating more intentionally.

Hello, I'm Ana Juma
I’m a certified journaling facilitator. I support people in cultivating more calm and clarity through a journaling practice that feels approachable, meaningful, and sustainable.
My work is rooted in the belief (and research) that writing helps us understand ourselves more deeply. Through a blend of structure, reflection, and guided practices, I create spaces that support clarity, emotional processing, and self-connection.
While free writing can be a powerful starting point, journaling goes far beyond simply emptying your mind onto the page.
There is a rich body of techniques, grounded in decades of therapeutic and expressive writing, that show how journaling can deepen self-understanding and support meaningful inner change.
I believe each journaling practice is as unique as the person holding the pen. My approach honors that — evolving with you over time, shaping who you’re becoming, and gently influencing every other area of your life.

Participants will:

Let's Create Together
Research shows that journaling reduces stress, strengthens emotional regulation, and increases mental clarity. In a world that rarely slows down, journaling creates space to pause, reflect, and realign.
I design each session to be accessible, inspiring, and practical — no prior writing experience required.
Whether you’re organizing a corporate wellness week, hosting a retreat, or curating a mindful gathering, I’d love to collaborate. Together, we can design a journaling experience that meets your community’s needs.
