Creating Space: Fall Cohort is Open 🍂
Come join us for the next cohort of Creating Space!
I’m so excited to share that the Creating Space journaling course is back for a fall cohort — and enrollment is now open! 🎉
If you’re new here: Creating Space is a 6-week course designed by myself and Buster Benson to help you carve out space for yourself through daily journaling. You’ll explore themes like time, physical space, money, and obstacles — and reflect on what emerges when you create some space to check in with yourself. Prompts are delivered via 750 Words, a private, minimalist writing space, and the course is designed to meet you where you are — whether you write every day or just when you can.
Over 50 people joined us for the first run of the course this summer, and following along on everyone’s Creating Space journeys on the community page has been such a joy of my last few months.
Every time a “note of inspiration” came in, I felt grateful and a little awed that this little course Buster and I put out into the world was helping people move through transitions and reconnect with themselves.
Here’s one reflection I shared in the community:
“I’ve gone through these prompts a few times now (pre-course-ideation, course development, and now live with all of you!) and it’s fascinating how new insights and memories come up each time. One realization this time around is how deeply I’ve internalized motherhood as a self-sacrificial endeavor, where others’ needs come first.
My default would be to only carve out space for myself when it doesn’t inconvenience anyone else at all, which actually works ok when you have few obligations and other people’s needs to consider, and there is ample time and space to go around. With three kids, a partner, household obligations, etc...that would mean no space ever. So, I’m working on inconveniencing other people, asking for help, and getting more in touch with what I want!”
We also gathered a bunch of thoughtful feedback and used it to iterate on the course — improving clarity, fixing bugs, and making the experience smoother. It’s still the same core course — 6 weeks, 42 prompts, delivered within space of 750 Words — but with some rough edges smoothed out.
You can start anytime! But there’s something special about moving through the course with others — seeing the same usernames show up each day on the community page, reading their notes of inspiration as they move through the course, and building a journaling habit together.
The course is normally $50, but for the next week, you can join for just $40 using the code FALLEARLYBIRD. The offer ends October 12th, but this cohort will be open until the end of the year at full price.
If you’re curious about creating more space for yourself in your life, and would like a little structure and accountability, I’d love for you to join us.
Hope to see you in the course,
— Jean
