Gentle Grove Journals are guided companions for emotional healing, shadow work, and self-discovery.
Each one walks you through a specific journey, whether it’s facing your shadows, tending old wounds, or learning to stay with yourself in moments of difficulty.
These shadow work journals are more than prompts, they are structured healing tools that guide you step by step through descent, reckoning, and return.
Why Choose Shadow Work Journals?
When emotions stay buried, they often resurface as anxiety, numbness, self-doubt, or patterns you can’t seem to break. Journaling with guidance helps you:
- Recognize and release stuck emotions
- Break free from silence or self-abandonment
- Build trust with yourself through daily practice
- Reconnect with your inner truth and wholeness
Each Gentle Grove Journal is designed to feel like a safe space, grounding, trauma-informed, and accessible, even if you’ve never done shadow work before.
The Descent Journal
A four-week guided journal that mirrors the natural arc of healing:
- Week 1 The Breaking: Where the old patterns begin to crack
- Week 2 The Burial: Allowing grief, anger, and silence to surface
- Week 3 The Reckoning: Facing truth and reclaiming your voice
- Week 4 The Return: Integration and renewal, carrying what you’ve learned back into daily life
This journal helps you stay present with your emotions instead of bypassing them. It’s a companion for the hardest parts of healing, so you don’t have to navigate them alone.
