About the Authors

Welcome

Welcome to the CoJourn Companion Guide and Workbook!

This resource is recommended to use alongside our book, CoJourn: Harnessing the Power of Connection to Tune into Your Wisdom, Achieve Your Goals, and Create the Life You Want, or to support your learning after attending a CoJourn workshop / training, or as part of an organizational program. It is not intended to replace any of these more comprehensive ways to learn about CoJourn.

As you embark on your journey through CoJourn, it can be helpful to have a quick and accessible reference to remind you about the various aspects of the program. The guide includes summaries of key concepts and activities that are designed to support what you learned and walk you through each step of the process of your CoJourn experience. It also includes some questions for reflection, and other activities that will be helpful to talk through with your CoJourn Partner. Ultimately, similar to the Quick Start Guide to a car (in contrast to the comprehensive Owner’s Manual), we hope it will serve as a handy reference when you are in the midst of the process of CoJourn.

As you move through learning and applying CoJourn, we want to remind you that this program is meant to benefit YOU and to be something that brings you more connection, support, and motivation to follow-through on your goals. The program is based on research-backed strategies that have worked for thousands of CoJourn participants world-wide. We recommend that you follow the core principles of the program, even if they may feel new or uncomfortable. However, it is also important to remember that we are all different. So, if after trying them out, if any parts are not working for you and your partner, we encourage you to adapt and make it work for your individual circumstances
