Learn from the extraordinary wisdom of elephants
A storytelling-rich, soul-stirring writing workshop inspired by the extraordinary ways and wisdom of elephants. Join me for x4 online sessions, where we slow down, feel deeply, remember what’s important, and play on the page. These are four beautiful wells we’ll dig together… Using stories, prompts, and creative practice to help you write with more spaciousness, courage, and clarity. This workshop has been done all over South Africa, and in Spain at The Barcelona Journaling Festival.
I want to get you journaling and keep you journaling.
Hi, I’m Ant
Do you like the idea of journaling more than actually doing it?
You’ve heard journaling is helpful. Even dipped your toe into the research (yes, there’s science behind it, mountains of it). So you buy the journal and another and another. And then you barely touch them.
Maybe you only write when you’re furious. Maybe you’ve scribbled out a few things and then wondered, “Why am I keeping this? What’s the point?” Maybe you did it, but it became a chore.
Or maybe you’re the opposite? You love it, you can’t get enough. You’re the everyday-to-twice-a-day writer.
Wherever you fall on this spectrum, this is a place for you.
My life shifted when I went from journaling for myself to helping others find their voice. Journaling is massively rewarding, but like any discipline, it gets easier the more you do it and the more you know how to do it.
Telling someone to journal without showing them how, is sort-of like telling someone to “eat healthy” without ever explaining nutrition, the options and what’s even right for them.
Journal writing is simple. Not fancy. Not complicated. But for it to become the fulfilling, steadying, helpful and soul-stirring practice it can be, there are a few things worth learning: rhythms, techniques, prompts, and ways to approach the page that make you want to come back again and again.
Some people want a template. I have developed those. I’ll teach you how to put your pen to paper in every season, not just the hard ones. What to lean into and when. Don’t be overwhelmed by the thought of journaling. I will teach you how to reach for your journal when life is beautiful and brimming, not only when you’re unravelling.
I’ll show you what I’ve learned across my twenty-something-thousand hours of journaling. I have written a book on journaling, taught countless courses, studied and conducted research, and engaged in deep dives into this craft because I’m obsessed with it.
None of those journals are meant to gather dust. They are meant to shift you towards your best life. You will be surprised by your own revelations because you gave yourself time! You’ll discover your voice. On paper. And in person. You’ll get excited about your words and how they are shaping your world. You’ll build a rhythm that holds you, and grounds you.
