Journal to Joy Workshop (Part 2) with Fran McConnell

Join Fran McConnell, CPC, ELI-MP, on Saturday, March 7 from 1-3pm for the exciting second chapter in her Journey to Joy workshop series. Picking up from the contemplative and action-oriented writing exercises covered in Journal to Joy Part 1, this second journaling workshop will introduce additional techniques and thought provoking writing prompts so you can effectively compose your Personal Growth Plan (PGP) for the next 6 to 12 months. The PGP will serve as a motivating baseline for you to continue your journaling practice and achieve your desired professional and personal goals.

Fran, workshop facilitator and owner of The Balanced Owl, explains, “Journaling is an effective practice rooted in self-care that helps you gain clarity on what you really want as well as release negative emotions and thoughts so you can move forward. Expressing yourself on paper is a powerful way to recharge your spirit and refocus your attention to what you most want to achieve.”

Come enjoy a relaxed, productive afternoon of self-exploration and inspiration! Past participation in Journal to Joy Part 1 is not required. Cost is $35 in advance, $40 at the door.

Location: Monmouth Beach Yoga & Wellness, 36 Beach Rd., Suite 10, Monmouth Beach. For more information and to sign up, call 973-452-2828 or visit MBYogaAndWellness.com or TheBalancedOwl.com.
