Make your lessons personal with guided journaling.
Give people a way to explore what your lesson means for them. Create a guided journaling session and share the link in your course, workshop, or membership. They follow your prompts on screen and write by hand.
Session creation is included with Premium. Participants use a free account.
Help people connect the lesson to their lives.
A lesson can introduce an idea. A guided reflection invites someone to consider where it shows up in their own experience. Add your questions and writing times, then include the session link alongside the material you already teach.
Add reflection where it belongs in your course.
Use a session as a companion to a lesson, a workshop, or a theme your members are exploring.
At the end of a lesson
Invite learners to connect an idea to their own experience and consider what they might try next.
After a workshop
Send a session link with your follow-up resources so attendees have a way to keep exploring the topic.
Alongside a membership theme
Share a reflection in your community that gives members their own space to think before joining a discussion.
Their reflections stay in their own journals.
Participants bring their own journal and write by hand, on paper. Journal Party guides the session without collecting their journal entries.
They choose what to share with you.
If you discuss the exercise later, they decide which reflections to bring into the conversation.
A few ideas to make your own.
Build around your own subject matter. These are examples of how a reflection could fit.

Before you create a session
Do I need to move my course or membership?
No. Create the journaling session in Journal Party and share its link through your existing course or community platform. Anyone with the link and a free Journal Party account can open it. Your course payments stay with your existing platform.
What do I need to create a session?
You’ll need Journal Party Premium to create and publish sessions. Free trials are available on eligible plans.
What does my audience need?
A free Journal Party account and their own journal. Sessions open in a web browser on a phone, tablet, or computer. The writing happens by hand.
Can I include sessions in something I sell?
Yes. Share a session link inside a coaching package, course, or membership you sell elsewhere. Anyone with the link and a free account can open it. You handle payments through your existing platform.
Give your next lesson room for reflection.
Start with one idea you teach. Add a few prompts that invite people to connect it to their own experience.
