I have found the writer deep within during this workshop. While I have always written, it helped me identify and connect with who I am, as a writer, at my core. It’s an amazing program, and it gives me the confidence to finish my book, and get it published.

This program not only normalized my fears about writing but allowed me to re-define what writing from core (soul) was and allowed me to process my fears and insecurities in a safe space. In turn, it has empowered me to show up in my writing and NOT compare with others as this story (narrative) is mine alone to tell. I strongly recommend this program to others that have the desire to write within their hearts, but fear enables them to engage in process. Thanks, Dafna and Michael for the mentorship and inspiration!

I knew there was a book inside me that needed to be written, but I had no idea what that process looked like, or how to get started. What Michael and Dafna have created here is a safe space to break down the writing process into small doable steps. I was given the freedom in the workshop to write about whatever part of my story is inspiring me that day. I could write from beginning to end, end to beginning, or completely all over the place, which is how I’ve ended up doing things. Just write, one piece at a time, not worrying about how it will all come together later. I have learned in this workshop, that books are nothing more than puzzles, that have been permanently glued together. I also learned that there are only two things needed to create a book, and that is inspiration, and guidance. If the inspiration is there, this workshop will provide the guidance.

If one ever wonders, will I write that book and how will I get started, Journey Institute has figured out how to be your North Star. I am so much further along with this dream than I ever thought thanks to them!

I have been running around in the writing desert for four years. I have taken classes and learned about writing coaches that were extremely expensive. I was introduced to Journey Institute Press by a former colleague and Facebook friend. After participating in the 28 day Bootcamp I can say with confidence that I will write a book. This program took me from dreaming about to actually writing. Having a supportive writing community made the experience even more enriching.

For any beginner writer, this writing course given by Journey Institute is a must. It has given me direction and focus as I work my way towards finishing and publishing my book. If you have the option to take this course, I say, “Go for it!”
