Mark Matousek
Experience a profound sense of freedom by pouring your deepest truths into a journal or personal piece of writing… tapping into your truest feelings and the gifts of your darkest shadows and boldest visions.
No one needs to tell you that we’re living through unprecedented times. The only thing we can be certain of is that life is uncertain.
In the midst of so much turmoil, how can you find clarity and resilience to keep yourself moving forward? How do you create your future when you’re mired down in anxiety and emotional pain?
Quite simply, you start writing — and you don’t even have to be a good writer. Through writing, you cultivate clarity, build resilience, and find a sense of wellbeing when you’re willing to peel away the layers to get to your truth.
There is relief in unraveling pain and confusion. Writing clears the mind and opens the heart. Writing down your thoughts yields valuable insights and offers perspective, while fortifying you with courage and strength.
To write about what’s painful and true will set you on a course of healing and awakening.
When your story changes, your life is transformed.
— Mark Matousek

“I’m deeply grateful for the experience.”
The writing course I took with Mark Matousek was an amazing journey into the soul of each who took it. We found we were able to trust each other, thanks in large part to Mark starting our first class with the words, “You’re all here for a reason, even though you may not know what that reason is.” Over the course of just a handful of short sessions, I’ve come to realize that not only was I there for a reason, but that this reason was more important to my wellbeing and self-understanding than I could have possibly fathomed when I first signed on for this class. I’m deeply grateful for the experience.
