Summer Fling

A Creative Journaling Voyage for Women

Smell the sea and feel the skyLet your soul and spirit fly.

We all love summer.

We come alive in summer. We make plans, we spend time with family and friends, enjoy trips to the beach, walks along a boardwalk, evenings in the garden.
The days are brighter, longer, and somehow we feel we have just a little more energy.

What more could we possibly Love?

How about ourselves? How about our creativity, our ideas, our dreams and hopes?

Welcome to The Summer Fling Journal Voyage Sessions:

A creativity series of workshops that invite a summer of self-loving and self-expression through the power of creative journaling.

What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

It all began with a free flow journal prompt I gave myself one morning about nine months ago.

As I wrote, I wondered at what was coming onto the page. “Where is this coming from?” I thought, though I continued writing because that is the invitation of flow writing…let the thoughts come, keep your pen moving.

Afterwards, I read what I wrote. I had written in surprising detail that I was living in France for a few months, writing, coaching my clients, leading my journal workshops…creating.

Again, where on earth did this idea come from?

The idea came from within me. My journal practice gave it the space to be discovered and expressed.

One thing led to another, one small step, a conversation here and there, some French lessons from Babble, and more journaling about this idea and voilà, I am going to live in France for three months this summer!

Who wants to come with me?!

Got questions?

Scroll down for FAQ!

I’ll meet you there! .

You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.

  • All the sessions are recorded and uploaded within an hour of the LIVE call. So you can go ahead and do the recording. Many women do a combination of LIVE and RECORDED journaling in my sessions and many others do the journey RECORDINGS only because of time zones or their schedule. Either way you will have a powerful and impactful experience!

  • Fabulous! You will have this beautiful blank canvas to create and discover. I consistently have women join my sessions who have never journaled and many who have and everything in between. It won’t hinder your experience and all levels are welcome.

  • The journal prompts I create are designed to take you into your journal practice and self-connection in a deep, meaningful way. They are prompts that we rarely create for ourselves and you will learn new techniques and approaches to journaling you may not have experienced. Many of my seasoned journal clients comment that they experience more meaning and movement to their journaling through these group journeys.

  • While writer’s are welcome it is not an offering that is exclusive to writers or even artists. It is a journey for women who want to explore self-connection, creativity and expressiveness through journaling.

  • Yes for those who want to dive into the FULL three months, there is a payment plan available. If, however, you are needing support to pay in instalments because of your current financial circumstances, please reach out to Jenn personally at jennforgie@gmail.com to discuss your needs.

  • Absolutely not! Each month journal session is custom designed to be its own journey. Those who want to join for three months are typically women who want the support of community, the experience of consistent journaling and the dive into creative discoveries through the writing, for a longer period.

  • Please email me at jennforgie@gmail.com and I will respond to your question personally.
