The road stretches out before us, and our ultimate task is the journey” (Kathleen Adams, Journal to the Self). This course is suitable both for the veteran journaler and those who would like to begin.
The 12 hour course will be divided into 4 three-hour classes, starting Sunday, March 6, 2011 from 1:00 – 4:00 pm. It will continue for four consecutive Sundays: March 6, 13, 20, & 27 at the same time. All meetings will be held at the Norfolk Public Library in the Community Room.
This course has a $ 310 value. Dr. Malik is offering this course free of charge with a
$10 materials fee, which must be paid at time of registration. Registration will not be considered complete without this fee, as the workbooks have to be pre-ordered.

Kumkum, as she likes to be called, began journaling at age 12, and says: “again and again, I gave to it the pieces of my life: again and again, it returned them to me as a whole that formed on the pages. My journal has taught me that my deepest wisdom lies buried within my silent, creative self. I turn to it as my closest friend, my staunch ally, and my voice that stays intact regardless of my actual circumstances. I am blessed to have this method of staying centered.”
Kumkum feels that her profession is her calling. Connecting with people as they make sense of their lives is a special gift in her life, and a privilege that she never takes for granted.
