Talking is Thinking: The Art of Journalling and Appreciative Enquiry

Talking is Thinking: The Art of Journalling and Appreciative Enquiry

As the year draws to a close, it’s natural to reflect on your year: How far you’ve come and where you are going.

“The unexamined life is not worth living” said Socrates, and this drive has compelled psychoanalysts and philosophers to contemplate life and its meaning for millennia.

Journalling turns your personal call - to excavate meaning and uncover patterns in your living - into a habitual practice.

A writing practice may reveal to you continuities in your life, allow a place to vent and offload, uncover dissonance between competing values and behaviours, pose and seed thoughtful contemplation and/or help you to direct your intentions for the grand arc of your life with more precision.

In our small group discussion we will share any experience we currently have with this practice, or contemplate finding a new place for written reflection in our life. Perhaps you’ll be inspired with new resolve to journal in support of your personal development and growth in 2025.

Having a framework to ground your journalling practice gives you a solid place to start and seeds something to build and compound on.
Powerful questions can create all kinds of shifts in our perception and the stories we are telling ourselves.

The host will share the private East Nashville location with you on confirmation of your place at the event.

Life hands you moments for courageous personal reinvention. Join or share Alchemy's 'Crucible' newsletter and you'll be ready when they arrive. Read recent newsletter editions here!

About the group
The Butterfly Effect is an in-person women's coaching group in East Nashville with a focus on empowerment and personal development for women after the significant milestone of divorce, to awaken and develop their resilience, confidence and self-trust.

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" Mary Oliver

Divorce can feel like a significant ending, but it is not THE end; it is also a beginning. Harness the power and support of group coaching as we hold your hand and reflect your power back to you. Life is interrupted by unchosen moments for courageous personal reinvention. Let this be one of those miraculous junctions on your path. While you navigate the uncertainty of new beginnings, united by experience, we can help you find your phoenix and discover what comes next.

We come together monthly to reflect on themes which will support your renewal. Especially the common challenges of negative self-talk, resilience and navigating uncertainty. This is a small group for women, led and supported by an ICF accredited life coach, who has herself experienced divorce, as well as expatriation and many, many new beginnings. Embrace and discover authenticity, connection and belonging, empowered by the collective wisdom and compassion of a group of like-minds.
