A Program Based On Art Journaling With Lea Seigen Shinraku

Mar 5, 2024

Lea had been helping people with self-compassion for years, but when she started using art journaling in her program, it came together in a more powerful way.

Now she teaches art journaling in every session of her signature program, Everyday Self-Compassion. Once she integrated this practice into her program, she fell even more in love with her work. She’s got a feeling of presence, joy and even goofiness.

I deeply resonate with the need to feel like my full self as I do my work. How about you?

You’re about to hear how she transformed her program over the last several years, why she loves running it, and why she’s got fewer therapy sessions in her schedule.

Lea Seigen Shinraku is an artist, teacher, licensed therapist and founder of the Center for Creative Self-Compassion. Through her transformative program ~ Everyday Self-Compassion ~ she helps people who struggle with self-judgment connect with their innate creativity and joy, so they can feel more calm, connected, confident and playful in meeting the uncertainty of being alive.
