Discover a powerful, transformative writing practice that will fuel your creativity, deepen your personal relationships, and bring greater clarity to your life path.
Experience a profound sense of freedom by pouring your heart’s deepest truths into a journal or personal piece of writing — “lifting the veil” on your story, uncovering the gifts of your shadow, and experiencing witness consciousness.
The single greatest question of self-inquiry is “Who am I?”

This question can conjure up all sorts of ideas, emotions, memories, and even feelings of shame…

Yet within this simple question lies an opening to discover the depth of your feelings, hidden truths about yourself, and an opportunity for profound awakening.

A regular writing practice can not only facilitate this inquiry, it can be your path to healing and transformation. And through this tool of self-discovery you can find freedom — from limiting beliefs, past traumas, self-doubt and fear.

A transformative writing practice can also unleash your creative spirit and cultivate an expansive mind, open heart and authentic relationships…

Your journal can become your trusted confidante, Zen master and psychotherapist — all rolled into one.

On the other hand, if you don’t know how to foster a truly transformative approach to writing, you can get stuck in rehashing old wounds, reliving emotional entanglements, and reinforcing negative thinking.

The difference between writing to vent and writing as a path of liberation lies in treating writing as an actual spiritual practice — one that’s every bit as powerful as meditation, prayer or yoga. In fact, writing can help free areas of yourself that most conventional spiritual practices never even touch.

When you start to view writing as an opportunity for deep inquiry — exploring who you are, reflecting on your soul’s purpose, and uncovering any unconscious blocks — you begin to tap into your true power.

The words that flow onto the page are portals into your greatest depths — the wellspring of true love, creativity and awakening.

Writing for Transformation
It’s not enough to simply write anything that pops into your head…

Unstructured writing can reinforce that which binds you, rather than help you discover that which frees you.

A truly liberating practice uses writing as a way to probe your inner landscape — chipping away at the ego, exploring buried feelings, and confronting your vulnerabilities. As a result, you’re able to connect more deeply to Spirit and expand your inner resources of love and compassion.

A transformative writing practice requires skillful inquiry, as well as the kind of discipline we associate with other practices dedicated to spiritual growth. As you venture into areas that generate resistance, it takes courage to continue moving forward instead of sticking to comfortable, more familiar terrain.

The rewards of a deep and powerful writing practice are immense, providing you with a way to access and examine revelatory insights, powerful truths, and your innermost Self.

More than anything, you’ll discover your unique genius, a path for manifesting it in the world, and how to transform any blocks into breakthroughs.

When you discover how to realize the transformative power of writing, you simultaneously:

Gain a powerful tool for advancing on your spiritual path — one that’s always available to you
Access your truth so deeply that it flings open doorways to your boldest visions and your highest purpose
Explore your inner depths in ways that greatly enhance how fully you show up in the world — making you a more effective teacher, leader, activist, coach or entrepreneur
When you know yourself fully, you’re able to relate from your authentic center and express yourself in ways that are more heartfelt, insightful, truthful and creative. And others find that compelling and inspiring, given that they also yearn to bring more authenticity and integrity to their interactions.

When people sense that you are integrated and at peace with yourself, they will trust you more and be drawn to interact and work with you.

People respond more powerfully to someone who is clear, authentic and free.

The Importance of a Master Guide

As with any genuine spiritual inquiry, it’s vital to have a master guide — one who is intimately familiar with the territory and can keep you on track (plus help you avoid the many pitfalls that emerge along any transformational journey).

Fortunately, such a guide is available to you…

Over the last three decades, Mark Matousek has become one of the world’s foremost chroniclers of the spiritual path — as an author (of the bestselling Sex Death Enlightenment), journalist (for publications such as The New Yorker and O), collaborator (on foundational books like the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying), and editor.

Mark is a master of language and, more importantly, a genius at marrying the depth of spiritual practice with the practice of writing. He’s a dynamic, clever, self-revealing and profound teacher whose practices and disciplines can help you fashion a liberating, lifelong writing practice.

He’s taught students worldwide the discipline of writing as a spiritual practice — in a way that’s profoundly liberating and very enjoyable.

And now you can join Mark for his upcoming, one-of-a-kind, 9-month program, The Transformative Path of Writing.

Writing as a spiritual practice requires not only a sincere, heartfelt commitment and the intention to live a more authentic, liberated life, it demands a deep dedication to showing up and putting pen to paper — no matter what happens and no matter what emotions rise to the surface.

It’s a discipline, however, that’s not in any way intimidating or burdensome. On the contrary, it’s discipline as in “disciple” — a disciple does what he or she does out of love for the practice.

When you commit to a regular practice, even for just 15 minutes a day, the practice takes on its own momentum, and it becomes easier and more inviting to sit down and do the work.

Indeed, the pleasure of self-discovery quickly becomes self-motivating… every “aha” moment beckons you to go deeper; each exhilarating revelation leads to another; every writing session, no matter the length, ends too soon.

During The Transformative Path of Writing, Mark will take you on a structured journey through seven key areas of writing which can help free you from old limitations that are compromising your sense of self, your relationships and your innate genius.

Mark is direct and will hold you accountable — in a loving and healthy way. He’ll challenge you to strive for a level of emotional intimacy beyond your current capacity. Yes, you may find yourself on the outer limits of your comfort zone… yet waiting on the other side of your discomfort is the liberating realization that you were as strong and as brave as you hoped you would be.

In addition to receiving Mark’s teachings, the third session of each monthly module will be a group coaching session designed to deepen your transformation by integrating Mark’s feedback into your writing journey.

What’s more, you’ll have the opportunity to send Mark a piece of writing each month for review. He’ll then select three of these submissions for live coaching, and masterfully pinpoint areas to take your inquiry deeper.

Whether or not your writing is selected for group coaching, you’ll benefit from other participants’ examples, experiences and insights, which will help you take your own writing to the next level.

Under Mark’s patient, compassionate guidance, you’ll enter a safe container for honest self-inquiry, supported by a compassionate, like-minded global community.

You’ll be in good hands to take a deep dive into healing, freedom and awakening through writing… where you’ll discover and develop skills you can draw on for a lifetime.

What You’ll Discover in These 9 Months
Course sessions are on Wednesdays at Noon Pacific.

In this 9-month transformational intensive, Mark will guide you through the fundamental spiritual skills and competencies you’ll need to successfully navigate your past experiences and mine them for your journey of transformation through writing — which will in turn improve the quality of your life.

Each LIVE contemplation and training session will build harmoniously upon the next so that you’ll develop a complete, holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles you’ll need to sustain your writing throughout the course and beyond.

You’ll emerge with:

Deeper access to your spiritual identity
Insight into the history of your personal narrative
The ability to access witness consciousness
An enhanced capacity to discern the ego’s voice from the voice of your soul
A wider-angle lens on your “life myth”
An inner refuge you can turn to for wisdom and advice
Freedom from limiting beliefs and shame
Greater understanding of your shadow — and the gifts and wisdom it holds
A deeper connection to your secret passions and fears
Increased awareness of where fear is blocking you from achieving your desires
A nondual approach to desire
A more profound understanding of your personal source of meaning and purpose
The ability to focus your intentions, to stop procrastinating, and to practice discipline with kindness
Tools for healing from deep wounding from past traumas
Expanded access to your personal and creative genius
A deepened ability to express your innate gifts in the world

Module 1: Who Are You, Really? (June 7, 14 & 21)

We’ll look at the primary narratives that define your identity and direct your life. When you tell the truth, your story changes. When your story changes, your life is transformed.

In this module, you’ll discover how to:

Tell the difference between self and story
Debunk old myths that do not define you
Open to new possibilities by questioning the status quo
Cultivate the witness perspective
Use writing as a liberating, spiritual practice

Module 2: Exploring the Shadow (July 5, 12 & 19)

You’ll begin to explore the shadow aspects of your story — the off-limits part of the psyche that you deny, neglect and suppress through fear, guilt, regret or shame. You’ll discover that your shadow contains your so-called negative aspects as well as positive, self-affirming gifts and the potential that had always remained just beyond your vision.

In this module, you’ll discover how to:

Identify the contents of your shadow
Overcome shame by exposing your secrets (to yourself)
Retrieve your disowned gifts and abandoned aptitudes
Understand the role of darkness in spiritual awakening
Integrate the shadow into daily life

Module 3: The Landscape of Desire (August 2, 9 & 16)

You’ll come to see that desire is the lifeblood of humanity — however often we hide it in the shadows. Desire is the source of creativity, healing and growth. Yet desire is often misunderstood as a culprit in spiritual life rather than a much-needed ally. How can we straighten out this confusion and access the source of our vitality?

In this module, you’ll discover how to:

Name your true desires without self-judgment
Identify the fear stories associated with these desires
Use desire as fuel for self-inquiry and liberation
Reclaim the poetry of your life — “the force that through the green fuse drives the flower”
Celebrate your earthly nature, knowing that you are a part of God

Module 4: Facing Resistance (September 6, 13 & 20)

You’ll examine the paradox of why illumination (of desires, strengths and paths to freedom) often calls up internal darkness that will test you on the path of awakening. Every spiritual journey includes opponents and confrontations, doubts, temptations and naysaying voices that try to block self-fulfillment and progress.

In this module, you’ll discover how to:

Confront your adversaries as difficult friends, not strangers
Tap into the inverted power of anger
Weaken fear through open awareness
Use resistance to strengthen your resolve
Practice courage as a form of self-care

Module 5: Original Blessing (October 4, 11 & 18)

You’ll recognize that you cannot transform what you have not first blessed — including (especially) your personal demons. Until you accept yourself “in the round” by including every imperfection, contradiction and confusion, you cannot recognize your original blessing: the essence of your human goodness, the genius you were born with.

In this module, you’ll discover how to:

Accept yourself without condition
Find inspiration and humor in your limitations
Abandon the notion of original sin
Be humble enough to be fully human
Recognize your original genius

Module 6: Pain & Resilience (November 1, 8 & 15)

You’ll explore the relationship of pain, resilience and self-acceptance. You’ll come to see that true strength goes hand in hand with vulnerability, and that the challenges of life truly do make us stronger, provided we’re willing to learn from pain and to change our stories about what constitutes “good” and “bad” luck.

In this module, you’ll discover how to:

Reframe experience by changing the story
Cultivate courage in the face of life challenges
Practice being “broken open” in order to be healed
Dive when you’re falling, to reach greater depths
Overcome self-pity with curiosity

Module 7: The Power of Choice (December 6, 13 & 20)

You’ll examine your relationship to choice, and why conscious choosing is inseparable from personal power and resilience. Learning to choose well engenders meaning in your life. Meaning, in turn, bestows purpose and intention, which lead to wellbeing and enduring freedom.

In this module, you’ll discover how to:

Recognize ambivalence as a breach of power
Overcome guilt, shame and inauthenticity as obstacles to conscious choice
Identify and focus personal intention
Tell the truth about what really matters (and what no longer does)
Be mindful of the link between personal choice and identity

Module 8: Where Is the Love? (January 3, 10 & 17)

You’ll see that the choice to love is the portal to an awakened life. Your earliest understanding of love, attachment, security and trust (in relation to your caregivers as a child) lays the groundwork for all future intimacies, whether romantic, platonic or familial. Once you understand how love has formed you, you enter into a whole new life.

In this module, you’ll discover how to:

Identify your attachment patterns in love
Recognize the dark sides of love, including jealousy, possessiveness and betrayal
Leave space for yourself and the other in intimacy
Relax the needs for control and dominance
Be vulnerable without shame

Module 9: The Sacred Journey (January 24, 31 & February 7)

You’ll harvest the wisdom — the eternal truth — that love and sacredness are inextricably connected. The purpose of life is to know the sacred, and to recognize existence as a sacred journey — from darkness to light, from amnesia to awe, from being story-bound to knowing yourself as the storyteller. This endows you with wisdom and possibility, and frees you from whatever myths have held you back.

In this module, you’ll discover how to:

Frame your life as a pilgrimage to truth
Practice beginner’s mind
Celebrate the sacred in everyday life
Recognize awe as nature’s alarm clock
Embrace your birthright as an awakening being

Journal Keeping as an Ancient Form of Self-counsel
Audio Dialogue With Mark Matousek and Kathleen Adams

This session looks at diary writing as a way to seek meaning from your stories by pouring forth the words from your heart.

Writing, Spirit & Telling the Truth
Audio Dialogue With Mark Matousek and Eve Ensler
