We believe pain can be transformed into creative expression through Artist-Inspired Expressive Writing. To reveal our tragedy is to transform it. Shadow Work is the beginning of bringing the unconscious to the surface. It is only when we have self-awareness that the power of choice is once again returned to us.
We believe connection, compassion, and catharsis can be created through an intimate community of kindred Journal-Artists as apprentices, mentors, pen-pals, and producers.
We believe that the mystery of love will heal the deepest parts of ourselves that have been repressed and suppressed. We believe that expression will transform depression, that anchor will transform anxiety, that narrative drama will transform trauma. We are a community of Artists & Journal-Artists committed to the act of revealing, feeling, and healing.
The Producer’s Playbook is in honor of the Original Producer, Eve, as revealed in the Book of Genesis in The Holy Bible.
In Act One, we commit to acting in faith while facing our fears. We deep dive into Shadow Work, journaling in the first person voice, while being mentored by Journal-Artists who could hold space and provide structure for your process.
In Act Two, we commit to acting in compassion while facing apathy. While journaling in the second person voice, we are trained on producing anti-curses from our noble shadows, also known as narrative reframing.
In Act Three, we commit to acting in grace while in judgement. While journaling in the third person voice, we are trained in the discipline of three folds grace, awakening us to the three folds blessing that manifests through the power of grace and replace.
The Producer’s Playbook will help us integrate our shadows, discern our dual desires, designs, and destinies, and encourage us to choose the desire, design, and destiny that aligns with true love.
In Honor of Eve's Fall

Testimonials about Journaling in Act One
“You have the ability to just be like, ‘you know, this is my truth and if anybody doesn’t like it that’s fine because as far as they are concerned, everything that I’m saying is not real.’ It’s really helpful to know that people aren’t gonna to know what’s real, what’s not real, with what you write. You can release things and nobody will be the wiser about it.”
“I want to go back and explore. Why did it happen when it happened. …Women often suppress their emotions…we think, ‘if I just swallowed that back, it’ll go away,’ and it’s like ‘Nope! Still here.’ and so I think I’m starting to really figure, I can’t swallow that back. I need to let things out.”
“The point of journaling is to really just look inside and be like, ‘okay, what is this? Why am I feeling it? And what do I do with it?’ And that’s sort of what you have to ask yourself when you are journaling.”
