What they say about Kathryn’s journaling workshops.

It has brought my practice more into the forefront of my life. Instead of reading a bit in the morning and the evening I am now finding myself pondering throughout the day.

The activities have helped me take a more studious approach to the Meditations, rather than just reading one book after the other, which is how I tried to study Marcus Aurelius in the past.

Focused my practice on a few fundamentals. And highlighted the importance of finding the right translation of ancient texts.

I’m reflecting more frequently, which has been a long-unaccomplished goal of mine. I am noticing so much richness in short passages which I had thought that I already knew.
