Dave Lewis

Journal Writing Specialist

Dave has been a professional TV, magazine, newspaper, book, and marketing writer for over 30 years. His deep understanding of the power of the word has led him to compiling over 100 personal journals that have provided a pathway to healing during major traumatic life events like: death of a parent, divorce, and the loss of a best friend, to name a few.

My true calling is journal writing. I understand the impact of doing morning pages, creating a dream journal, food journal, gratitude journal, an art and visual journal and a trigger journal.The beauty of journaling is that you can do it anywhere, anytime and on anything (even on your iPhone). There are no rules except to empty your mind and allow yourself to heal through putting pen or pencil to paper. As William Wadsworth once said: “Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.”

I will create a safe space to learn about the benefits of journaling through practice and sharing.
