About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

March 2025 event is canceled. More journaling workshops to come.



Mindful Journaling Workshops are held on-line monthly, 9:30am to 11:00am Mountain Standard Time

Journaling helps us to see and know ourselves. It is a way to expand on half-formed thoughts — bringing to light parts of ourselves that reside only in our unconscious mind. Once acknowledged we can start to work with those once hidden emotions and beliefs in a new way.

In this workshop we will talk about the value and the practice of journaling. We will have several short writing sessions (that won't requiring sharing). Using the zoom break-out room feature, you will share with other group participants what you noticed, what surprised you during the writing exercise.

Please bring a willingness to connect with others and a journal with blank pages (or writing paper) and a pen.

Organized by

Hi, I am Sonya Bergeron, hospice chaplain, endorsed by the Religious Naturalist Association and a member of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Community Ministries. I came to know grief after the death of my youngest son in July 2013. During my journey through grief, I saw that I was not alone in my suffering. Many people suffer because someone that they love has died. I now understand the pain of grief at a non-conceptual level. I know this pain, but have learned to embrace living.

My intent in offering this monthly journaling workshop is to help others see that they too can learn to live with grief and whole-heartedly embrace living. My work as an interfaith chaplain is to support all people in their understanding of the sacred -- no matter what they believe or do not believe.
