Ellery Littleton leads The Spirit JournalEllery Littleton's 20 years of leading writing programs at The Haven have been distilled into The Spirit Journal, offered for the first time in 2012. Part intensive journaling workshop, part story circle, the program presents a powerful approach to the quest for meaning in your life.

 

Who am I? What am I meant to do in this life? What are my gifts? What are my shadows? These are some of the key questions addressed in the course of the program.

 

Ellery was interviewed about the program on Village 900 when it was still titled Writing for Life. Listen to the interview here. Right click on PC, ctrl-click on MAC and save the file to your computer.

 

The process of deep, personal writing enables you to recognize how your life has been carrying you toward a more profound knowledge, even though you may not have been consciously seeking it. It helps you to see the many changes and uncertainties in the cycles of your life and identify the thread of integrity that has been seeking to establish itself within you.

 

An exploration of your spiritual aspect is essential in order to truly understand your self, your relationships and the sense of meaning in your life. These goals have always been at the heart of The Haven experience, and in The Spirit Journal, they are presented in a uniquely concentrated, focused form.

You created a real sense of safety, respect, delight even, for each person's creative voice. I loved the exercises and the variety of places they landed me up in myself, and I was amazed at the quantity and quality of the writing we produced as a group. You have created a wonderful space where people can explore their heartfelt truths.
