Welcome!

I am thrilled to introduce you to my new journaling venture, TENDING THE FIRE within.

This series has been inspired by the fiery essence of my own inner being that has been deeply nourished by my recent three-month solo sojourn to France; a response to an inner call to tend to my own fire.

This TENDING THE FIRE journal series is an invitation to fan the embers of your own inner fire and awaken within, the intuitive, spirited woman who is your truest You.

Flames of Awakening

*This spirit woman appeared one morning while I was burning my sage. Isn’t she beautiful?

‘The Wild Woman archetype represents a bold, intuitive, and untamed spirit within us all. She embodies creativity, freedom, and raw authenticity, encouraging us to embrace our true nature and shed societal constraints.’

~ Clarissa Pinkola Estés

In this journaling series, you will be connecting to The Wild Woman deep inside of you.

  • She who knows who you are and what you are about, authentically and fully.

  • She who is the keeper of the fire within you. 

  • She who is the life force to your intuitive knowing, creativity and passion. 

  • She who is your warmth, your light, and your truest self

Many of us have seen our children grow up and leave the nest, experienced shifts in our relationships, work, and health and are in a mid-life or beyond time of our lives. We are feeling the call to return to and to tend the fire that is within...our creativity, our purpose and passions, and our gifts.

Let’s gather around the fire together and sit in the glow of our innate gifts, our radiant light, our burning potential, creativity, and the longings that keep our hearts open.

A Curated Guided Journaling Series

Many women wish to journal but struggle with consistency, doubt their worth, or feel self-conscious. I am here to help you create and connect to the meaningful journal practice you are longing for.

A practice you can cultivate and nurture in your daily life.

I will guide you to explore and develop your own relationship to journaling, both in solitude and together in a supportive, confidential circle. It is in sacred community, that we are witnessed and are invited to hold space as witness to the emotions, dreams, lived experiences and challenges of others.

Journaling is one of the most powerful, life-enhancing tools to support the wellness of your mind, body and spirit. It empowers you to embrace a spirit of play and self-connection. It is the key to the portal that unlocks your boundless potential for delight, imagination, and creativity. In community and within yourself, this practice will open up the wind of your heart’s truths as we fan the embers into flames, igniting the pages and illuminating your path.

Does this resonate?

Are you yearning to be a part of a spirited, supportive community of women?

Are you ready for more….

  • Inspiration with others to break free from inner limiting constraints.

  • Meaningful connection to your creativity and your natural, nourishing life force.

  • Stoking the embers of what is working in your life now.

  • Fierce determination and courage to prioritize yourself and your desires.

  • Uninhibited creativity to illuminate, and trust in your own path.

  • Inspiration and renewed passion that ignites your soul.

  • Connection to your intuitive, inner knowing.

  • Confidence that feels really damn good. Confidence you can build more of from that fire within you.

We begin October, 2024

As I lead you through creative custom journal prompts, you will embrace and awaken your Wild Woman self.

Meet Jenn

A Professional Journaling Guidess, Mentor, Actress, and Writer.

I have been curating and leading custom journaling sessions for years, pursuing my passion to universally share the power and art of expressive journaling, so others can explore their inner worlds and deepen their connection to Self and the world in which we all live. As a mentor, I lead individuals and community groups on a creative journey of intentionality and exhilarating discovery.

I have been journaling since childhood.

As I entered adulthood, the practice evolved from secret keeping and emotional ‘dumping’ into a source for healing and self-compassion. It eventually became the tool that released me from my past, deepened my self-trust, gave me agency over my truths, and unleashed my creativity. Journaling is my intimate and sacred ritual for connecting with myself and the world around me. It is everything.

I created this journey because I want to be both guide and witness to women discovering and acknowledging what is alive and beautiful in their lives now. As they honour their inner fire and meet their inner wild woman through journaling they discover a beautiful pathway Home.

Words from our Journal Clients:

  • "Complete magic! Jenn's “Tending the Fire” series has taken me into a deep dive of what feeds my fires and what fires need to be extinguished. The prompts she gives have helped me to recognize deep traumas that shaped me and writing them out has helped to release those un-serving beliefs. To gently and carefully let those embers go out. There is still work to do but this is the best therapy, hands down! Thank you Jenn from the embers of my soul."

  • "Your journalling sessions for me opened up an awareness that writing words on a page feels like I am listening to myself. I find it proactive, instead of sitting and stewing in my thoughts I am working things through. I am a pretty serious numbers person and I discovered through my writings how often times I am ignoring the fun, so this practice has helped me see that I need to cultivate more joy and magic. Thank you Jenn!"

  • "Jenn’s ability to help women find their authentic self truly is her super power!! I would recommend working with Jenn for any woman who is looking for more in their life."

  • "Being in Jenn's Journal Group gave me an opportunity to be and share amongst the empowering company of women."

  • "The morning journaling gave a nice grounding for the day and allowed me to ponder and put into practice the mornings conversations and discoveries. It also allowed me to soften more with myself."

  • "I wasn't a fan of journaling prior to this and I see now how very powerful for growth these intentional prompts and pen to paper can be. I am so deeply grateful for this opportunity and that I listened to the inner whisper in me to join!"

  • "My days usually start with a lot of anxiety, but I've noticed that since being in this journal group, my anxiety has decreased in ways I never thought possible."

  • "Journaling in Jenn's series has been such a gift of self-love and discovery for me."

  • "I have never experienced a journal program like this. I feel like I'm meeting myself again and it feels so freeing!"

  • "Writing this way, with these prompts, is helping me let go of my perfectionism. I feel myself letting go. It feels so good."

  • "It's the space to share that is offered, after we respond to prompts, that I find so helpful. I get new ideas from the other women's shares, and I discover new truths in myself I didn't realize until I hear it in others. I am so grateful for this practice."

  • "This has been so powerful! I'm learning and observing myself and I feel like I'm moving more and more into connecting with myself. This experience and this community has been everything for me right now."

  • "During Jenn's journal program, I got more honest with myself, no fluff or sugar coating this time. And I loved it."

  • " This program has had a real impact in my life. Our mornings together have given me tools to think about things in my life differently. I'm very grateful to be here."

  • "This journey has had more impact on me than a lifetime of therapy!"

  • "I've been able to dive deeper into areas that I had yet to explore, and come up to the surface with such precious nuggets of insight."

  • "This journal group experience reconnected me to my writing after a busy month of not taking much time to journal and write. Writing with other people in a space that is so beautifully held as this 10 day journey is empowering and transformative."

  • "This Journal experience allowed me to gently journey back to myself and form a deeper connection with myself."

  • "Journaling with Jenn's group gave me a sense of purpose and commitment; an excitement and joy for the morning."

  • "Journaling in Jenn's programs is helping me feel more positive, more focused, less inclined to ruminate, and I often leave the group sessions with a smile on my face and feeling a great sense of love and connectedness."

  • "Jenn Forgie's journaling groups for women are empowering and enriching. She is well versed and experienced in the journey to self and in sharing that process with others. Jenn has a calming, supportive, encouraging, and grateful presence. One feels completely safe."
