What if the path to your highest self and profound liberation started with a single question: What is my story?

Reexamining the stories you tell yourself and releasing outdated narratives can unlock a whole new life of freedom, spiritual growth, and personal transformation — and you can do this through the spiritual practice of guided journaling (no previous writing experience needed!)

If you sense that something is holding you back from rising to your full potential and creating your most honest and inspired life...

... it may be time to release old myths, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and update your personal story — so you can awaken to who you authentically are, extricate yourself from the pressure of having to be someone you’re not, and pursue your true calling.

According to Mark Matousek, award-winning memoirist, teacher, and speaker whose work focuses on transformative writing for personal, professional, and spiritual development...

... this requires entering the sanctuary of truth — the messy, human, beautiful truth — and untangling the knots of deeply programmed, outdated beliefs.

With more than three decades of helping people ignite their awareness and transform through writing and self-examination, Mark uses writing as a tool for insight and clarity — a method he calls “Writing to Awaken.”

Mark is the founder of The Seekers Forum, an online community for writing and self-exploration, as well as the author of eight books — including Writing To Awaken: A Journey of Truth, Transformation, and Self-Discovery. He offers workshops in self-inquiry and personal development internationally — which have helped thousands of people around the globe.

His approach involves a guided but private journaling practice as a gateway to self-liberation — which gives you access to the highest truth and vision for yourself and your life.

Join him in a profound online event, in which he’ll outline and lead you through a 3-step practice to liberate yourself from false narratives so you can begin reshaping your identity and your life !

Although Mark’s medium is writing, you don’t need any writing skill whatsoever for this practice to work. It’s NOT about using beautifully expressive words, good grammar, syntax, or elegant prose.

It’s a spiritual practice designed to unveil that part of yourself that’s the Witness — the part of you that holds the ability to observe your story clearly so you can see how you’ve been programmed, and how that’s affecting your self-concept and the choices you make as you walk through the world.

It helps you find the real you within, understand what aspects of you are absolutely non-negotiable and want to be voiced and seen, what stories you need to shed, and what you really want to cultivate in your life so you can take practical steps to accomplish your deepest desires.

Mark will lead you to explore the origins of the “story of self” — an identity we shape as Homo narrans, the storytelling ape.

The story you tell yourself, formed from family expectations, cultural influence, personal values and temperament, and life experiences can often become a mask (from the Greek word persona) that conceals your true self.

We forget, however, that we’re the storyteller, not the story .

Mark’s teachings and journaling practices can offer you freedom from the fictions that are blocking your unfolding, and the empowerment, curiosity, and courage to burst through the portal of the unknown, pursue a different direction, and reinvent a story that’s more connected to your higher self.

You’ll discover that when you arrive at your core truths on the page, you achieve a heightened perspective and become open to receiving the epiphanies that inevitably arise.
