What if the path to your highest self and profound liberation started with a single question: What is my story?

Re-examine the stories you tell yourself and release outdated narratives to unlock higher levels of freedom, spiritual growth, and personal transformation through the spiritual practice of guided journaling (no previous writing experience needed!).

When you tell the truth, your story changes.
When your story changes, your life is transformed.
Mark Matousek
 

If you sense that something is holding you back from rising to your full potential and creating your most honest and inspired life...

... it may be time to release old myths, end unhelpful patterns, and update your personal story so you can awaken to who you authentically are, extricate yourself from the pressure of having to be someone you’re not, and pursue your true calling.

According to Mark Matousek, award-winning memoirist, teacher, and speaker whose work focuses on transformative writing for personal, professional, and spiritual development...

... this requires entering the sanctuary of truth the messy, human, beautiful truth and untangling the knots of deeply programmed, outdated beliefs.

With more than three decades of helping people ignite their awareness and transform through writing and self-examination, Mark uses writing as a tool for insight and clarity a method he calls “Writing to Awaken.”

Mark is the founder of The Seekers Forum, an online community for writing and self-exploration, as well as the author of eight books including Writing To Awaken: A Journey of Truth, Transformation, and Self-Discovery. He offers workshops in self-inquiry and personal development internationally which have helped thousands of people around the globe.

His approach involves a guided but private journaling practice as a gateway to self-liberation which gives you access to the highest truth and vision for yourself and your life.

Join Mark in a profound online event, in which he’ll outline and lead you through a 3-step practice to liberate yourself from false narratives so you can begin reshaping your identity and your life!

Although Mark’s medium is writing, you don’t need any writing skill whatsoever for this practice to work. It’s NOT about using beautifully expressive words, good grammar, syntax, or elegant prose.

It’s a spiritual practice designed to unveil that part of yourself that’s the Witness the part of you that holds the ability to observe your story clearly so you can see how you’ve been programmed, and how that’s affecting your self-concept and the choices you make as you walk through the world.

It’s a practice that helps you find the real you within, understand what aspects of you are absolutely non-negotiable and demand to be voiced and seen, what stories you need to shed, and what you want to cultivate in your life  so you can take practical steps to accomplish your deepest desires.

Mark will lead you to explore the origins of the “story of self” an identity we shape as Homo narrans, the storytelling ape.

The story you tell yourself, formed from family expectations, cultural influence, personal values and temperament, and life experiences can often become a mask that conceals your true self.

We forget, however, that we’re the storyteller... not the story.

Mark’s teachings and journaling practices can offer you freedom from the fictions that are blocking your unfolding, and the empowerment, curiosity, and courage to burst through the portal of the unknown, pursue a different direction, and reinvent a story that’s more connected to your higher self.

You’ll discover that when you arrive at your core truths on the page, you achieve a heightened perspective and become open to receiving the epiphanies that inevitably arise.

 

In this hour-long self-exploratory event, you’ll:

 
  • Recognize that your story does not define you, freeing you up to question limiting and destructive narratives that block you from reaching optimal wellbeing and achieving your full potential
  • Experience a 3-step journaling process from Mark’s Writing to Awaken method that allows you to see how the labels you use to define yourself were created and consider ways to liberate yourself by reframing your story
  • Discover that when you separate yourself from inherited, outdated myths from your family and culture, your personal truth can emerge and lead to greater autonomy
  • Realize how memories, assumptions, and expectations that have formed the framework of your personal story are not yours, but mental conditioning that’s shaped your tendencies and self-perception an understanding that’s crucial to self-reinvention
  • Start uncovering your gifts and interrupting self-defeating patterns
  • Understand that spiritual awakening depends on liberation from the stories you’ve told yourself about yourself enabling you to recognize your authentic, spiritual nature that’s already free, whole, and perfect
 
 
 

Mark’s journaling practices hold the potential to reveal what’s really going on in your relationships, your career, and how you’re attending to the essential needs for your life’s journey and guide you to make the necessary adjustments to be more fully aligned with your soul.

With Mark’s wisdom and techniques, you’ll learn how to channel a unique type of awareness and intelligence that can fuel the creative fire in your life.

And, when you attend this workshop, you’ll also be among the first to hear about Mark’s new 7-week live video course, in which you’ll wield the power tool of self-inquiry through a specifically guided journaling process asking yourself deeply important questions, surprising yourself with the answers that appear, and using them to forge your path toward true self-reinvention and realization.

“I healed almost every aspect of myself...”

Everyone on this planet needs to take this course! I healed almost every aspect of myself (anger, depression, anxiety, etc.) and am renewed with so much love. I didn’t go in with any expectations except that I wanted to know how to finish my book. I was met with so much internal healing that my book became secondary, thereby allowing me to use my authentic voice not just in my writing but in all parts of my life. I wasn’t going to take this class because I couldn’t afford it but with the payment plan, I am so glad I did!

“Mark has created a unique and beautifully presented way of awakening...”

Mark has created a unique and beautifully presented way of awakening to our unconscious obstacles and fears. His wisdom is profound, gathered from years of exploration of spiritual awareness through many channels, not just writing. I am inspired to buy Mark’s book as I neglected to download most of the lectures. His years of gathered wisdom and self-realization are an invaluable source of reinforcement for our journey.

“I can finally feel at peace within myself.”

Over the years my childhood issues seemed to keep haunting my head and driving me crazy! I’ve engaged in a healing journey on my own, and this course helped me get everything together. It’s like the last thing that was missing to finally start feeling complete. Now I can move on because I have finally accepted my past as my own and I can finally feel at peace within myself.
