What we’re about
Hello and welcome to our amateur writing group!
If you're curious how writing can help in your everyday life, or if you love everything connected to words, and if you would like to try easy but powerful journaling methods in a friendly set-up and with a glass of vermouth (we're in Barcelona, after all!) – this is your group!
My name is Masha, I'm a writer, journalist, and creator of the Naked Words writing program. I preach the superpower of feel-good writing to everyone. I use journaling for self-therapy and as dynamic meditation. It also works great to boost your creativity and overcome writer's block if you feel stuck or drained.
Feel free to follow my Instagram account for tips and inspiration!
My workshops are an eclectic mix of simple but efficient techniques such as guided journaling, expressive writing, narrative therapy, and personal storytelling. When we meet, I explain how different techniques work and then we scribble away our thoughts, feelings, and observations.
The group's language is English but you can write in your mother tongue, it's not an issue! Whatever makes you feel good and at ease.
Don't worry, you won't need to read to the group what you wrote (unless you really want to). This is not a fiction writing workshop, it's about your deep inner work and opening up by writing it down.
Why journaling is an excellent self-help method:
- Get to know your real feelings through simple but effective journaling tips
- Structure your thoughts, get honest with yourself and give your life a good seasonal clean-up!
- Write about important events of your life even if you're not a writer
- Get rid of writer's block and enjoy writing in a safe, supportive group of fellow amateur writers!
Everyone's welcome!

★ Start writing from the heart without being a professional writer ★
I'm so excited to invite you to my online writing program crafted for all-level writers and NON-writers. If you love words, journaling, self-reflection, and reading, this is a beautiful opportunity to experience no-pressure writing for pleasure (and gentle self-healing).
If you have been to my offline MeetUps before or just attended Barcelona Journaling Festival, you know what I'm talking about! :)
This online program is just like our warm meetings, but instead of hanging out for 2 hours we will stay together for 2 weeks, in a small, intimate group of fellow amateur writers, and will write much more! I'll be with you at all times, guiding, answering your questions, and reading what you feel like sharing (fret not, it's optional!).
We will always have live zoom writing room sessions, to boost your concentration and help to unleash your writing superpower. And also, to connect with others – this is the best part!
We will be writing for 15 days, every day. I created a course for those of you who are looking for a writing practice that unlocks, inspires, clears the mind, helps to find the answers, gently soothes the soul, and sparks joy.
WHY THIS PROGRAM IS CALLED NAKED WORDS?
In the era of endless doomscrolling and rapid-fire texting, where we create "content" to self-promote, chase likes, make sales, and game the algorithm for visibility, give yourself a gift of slowing down and writing with intention. Let your words flow freely – no need to fit a specific image, be nice or worry about judgment. Just let your words be. Stripped. Unadorned. Raw. True. Naked.

I believe with all my heart that writing is the most powerful tool for self-reflection. If we don't self-reflect, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we don't become what we were meant to be. If we don't become what we were meant to be, we don't live the life we deserve.
Come write with me this summer and gently dance yourself out of winter into the new beautiful season! We start writing on December, 2nd and won't stop for two weeks. By Xmas, you'll feel positively different, mark my words.
