Reviews

[John]

This is part 2 of Progoff's great work on journaling, At a Journal Workshop. Like it predecessor, the best way to learn this complete and sometimes complex method is to attend a workshop where you get hands on instruction and the opportunity to use the sections of the IJ that make up Process Meditation. Progoff was ahead of his time in his ideas of psychotherapy and gave the world a journal program so well thought out that it can be its own form of psychotherapy. It is completely different from any other journal workshop you will ever take and can become a guide through life. JLL author of Reading Thomas Merton.
