Writing for Clarity & Strength

Find clarity. Restore balance. Discover wisdom in your story.

A free journalling course using memoir, writing for therapy, creative prompts and mindfulness practices

Carve out screen-free time to connect to yourself through intentional writing

Build a sustainable journal practice and reveal insight as you go

Work at your own pace - weekly prompts delivered direct to your email

You don’t need to be a “writer.” You don’t need hours of free time. All you need is a notebook, a pen, and a willingness to show up.

Feeling heavy in this modern world?

Are you craving connection, grounding, clarity or simplicity? 

Maybe you feel there's something within you that needs to move, but you don’t quite know what or how? 

With so much noise, constant headlines, and daily demands, it’s easy to feel disconnected or overwhelmed. You’re not alone in yearning for something grounded and real.

What if you could carve out a few minutes of screen-free time each week to reconnect with yourself, without needing high-end coaches or complex practices to achieve it. 

What if you could find a quiet place within you where you can process what you’re carrying, and uncover meaning in your story?

Writing offers that. Simple, human, and accessible, journalling is a way to untangle thoughts, release stress, let go of what weighs you down, and discover the peace and wisdom that already lie within you. A place where words can become medicine.

The Healing Journal is a free 6-week journalling course designed to help you build a steady writing practice that nurtures clarity, resilience, and hope.

What you’ll receive

Join this course for free, and receive:

  • 6 weekly emails, each with gentle mindfulness practices and powerful prompts

  • Step-by-step guidance on therapeutic and creative journalling techniques

  • Practices that can be completed from just 5–15 minutes, with options to go deeper when you have more time

  • A complete introduction to using both journalling and creative writing for clarity, resilience, and inspiration

  • Everything is designed to be flexible: dip in for a few minutes, or go deeper when you have more time.

Why journalling?

Research in expressive writing shows what many of us instinctively know: journalling reduces stress, supports emotional processing, and deepens self-awareness.

Through this course, journalling becomes:

  • A safe outlet to process overwhelm

  • A practice for clarity and balance

  • A creative way to reframe challenges into wisdom

  • A path back to hope, presence, and resilience

this course is for you if:

You’ve been feeling heavy or overwhelmed by modern life and long for grounding

You’re craving grounding, clarity, and a way to process your thoughts

You long for a safe, screen-free space to reconnect with yourself

You want to build a sustainable journalling practice, guided by weekly prompts

You’re curious about how life writing and memoir can support healing and self-discovery

You’d like a gentle, creative outlet for your emotions — no judgement, no pressure.

You don’t consider yourself a “writer” but feel called to explore words as medicine

You wish to rediscover hope, resilience, and clarity through your own words.

No prior writing experience is needed—just a notebook, a pen, and your curiosity.

The Healing Journal is a FREE 6-week journaling journey designed to help you:

  • Release stress

  • Find clarity

    • Explore and process memory in a safe, structured way

  • Reconnect with hope

    • Rewrite your story to discover resilience, hope and embodied wisdom

  • Discover resilience in your life

  • Build a gentle but sustainable writing or journalling practice

    • Gift yourself precious time alone with yourself, away from a screen

By the end of six weeks, you’ll not only have a clearer mind and motivation to continue a sustainable, inspiring journal practice, you’ll also have a collection of memoir fragments - pieces of your life shaped into story - that can stand on their own or serve as seeds for a larger project. It’s not about “being a writer” — it’s about being human and finding meaning and joy in the every day.

It is my belief that creative expression is more important than ever in this modern world, and that it should be encouraged, supported, and accessible for everyone. Thus, Ink & Fire is offered to this community completely free!

“Inner Muse was an activation for my writing, and with it, I felt my connection to and longing for creativity deepen with each session.

Prior to all this, I don’t think I ever really considered creativity as something essential to life. Now, I feel grateful and inspired, and find myself wanting to tend to that inner cauldron.”

I truly can’t say enough about all that I received from attending this writing retreat with Jiya. Her loving, soulful presence and the way she held such sacred space for authentic, creative expression was just amazing. The experience left a profound impact on my life. I feel more confident in myself, more open to sharing my creativity, and I made life long friends & memories that I will forever cherish. I can’t wait to join Jiya again for another offering in the future!
— Caterina Francese
I love how Inner Muse brought me to a timeless space where I could reflect deeply and return to corners of my life that I hadn’t ventured to since the memories themselves were formed. My muse held a mirror in her hand, showing me parts of myself, and others, I had long forgotten, like family members who have already passed. I got to re-live experiences with them, which was really beautiful. This journey through writing has been is such a gift. Thank you, Julia!!
— Kaitlyn O'Brien
