I guess it was Maslow who said "If the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail."
Hi 👋 I'm Jena. My hammer is Storywalking. And your inner life? It's looking kinda like a nail to me 🤔😂
Let's be clear - there are a gazillion things you could do to connect with your inner smarts. I however, am an enthusiastic believer in the magic of an art journal process I call Storywalking.
Storywalking looks like 15 minutes a day with a journal, magazines, scissors. It looks like using a fairytale as a roadmap. And it looks like a serious date with your own hard hammering intuition.
You see, I'm a genius at coming up with playful prompts that sneak us past the logical everyday ordinary responses. But it's really YOUR INTUITION that is the freaking genius because it's got exactly the answers that you need for your next step.
Below you'll find a selection of courses that my community - the Merry Band of Storywalkers - has joyfully completed and marked with their stamp of approval. I highly recommend that you not waste any time giving it a go...we only have so many weeks of a life and your inner smarts have places to take you! Your registration gives you immediate and permanent access to these well adored and fully formed classes.
You'll see that they were originally delivered over a specific number of weeks and this is a good barometer. Plan for the daily prompts to take 15 minutes or so. You can do them daily or you can take a couple hours to dig in for a chapter at a time - though you'll likely need digestion time if you chomp down whole chapter at once.
Okay here goes! This is like introducing you to a room full of my favorite people. I have so much to say about each one I hardly know where to start. Follow your intuition towards whichever one tugs you. If you click on any course there is more information and if you have ANY questions please don't hesitate to email me at [email protected]
👣 Quick Romps
Here are a selection that are fast paced and super solid. Any of them would be a great choice for a first go!
👣 Short Storywalks
These were originally delivered over three weeks. So you can expect to spend between 3-6 hours to complete!
👣 Longer Storywalks
When we lengthen our stride and head out into a longer storywalk, we we get to cover considerably along the way. Each of these is freaking fantastic.
Not sure which to pick? Register Story and Tea with Jena for access to the whole Inspired Inquiries library and three one on one zoom calls! We'll find the perfect path for you and walk it together.
This has been one of the most potent classes I've ever taken. The healing that I've experienced could have taken years in traditional therapy! Combining the visual art with writing and inquiries was the big key for me to unlock things within. I've taken other classes that were solely based on just painting and I didn't get as much from that. This combination of work that Jena provides was it for me! Like a magic recipe, I'm more aware and open. Jena makes accessing intuition so easy! SARAH
👣 Painting Courses
Storywalks are my true love. But we're all polyamorous when it comes to creativity! If you are wanting to ride along on my step by step approach to painting, you'll find a selection of options below!
Subscription Options
Just like those video subscription services we all like to sign up for and then cancel, a Storywalking subscription opens the library to AAAAALLLLLL the inspirations for when you are ready to do the deep diving. Obviously, access isn't permanent but I'm always happy to leave a course in your library equal to the amount you paid in subscriptions when you need to pause or cancel. The options are below. Find a list of all the included courses here.
Jena, I'm incredibly grateful to have found you and this immensely healing Storywalk work. Thank you with all my heart. I have had such shifts, so many gifts, and so much healing. It began with The Spindle & The Thread and has been amplified so much during The Lindworm. I'm so glad I jumped into the posting and sharing with the other wonderful women traveling on this path with me. This is grace beyond measure. I am in awe of your creations, and of your ability to hold such space for all of us. Your strength in being able to hold me has kept me going during the most painful emotional times. What is brought up is always what's needed to be healed. And it has moved mountains for me. SHERLE
