The Workshop:This is an experiential day for therapists, coaches and other healing professionals who are seeking new kinds of continuing professional development. Classic journal writing techniques provide opportunities for self-supervision and reflective practice. They can be used in work with clients.

It becomes an existential practice for client and practitioner.
