Journaling Out Loud

One New Heartbeat invites you to experience the transformative healing power of personal journaling in a supportive virtual group setting. Writing is encouraged but entirely optional during this gathering. Each session begins with a provided writing prompt, allowing participants to connect with themselves through thoughtful reflection and group discussion. Participants are encouraged to express their thoughts by "journaling out loud" — sharing insights and emotions in a safe and nurturing environment.


Session Structure:

Wellness Check-In: Every session begins with a mindful check-in to create a grounded, welcoming space.

Writing Style: We will explore expressive writing, a powerful tool for processing personal conflicts or emotional struggles. This practice focuses on releasing internal stressors by putting them on paper — a neutral space for honest reflection. 

Sharing is always optional.

Whether you choose to write privately or share your thoughts aloud, this group encourages you to release emotions like anger, sadness, or resentment without fear of judgment.

Together, we create a space for healing, self-discovery, and emotional support.


This group meets every Sunday from 5:30-7:00pm PST Zoom Meeting ID: 895 6504 7270



Alternatives to Suicide Groups

One New Heartbeat is the organizer of this event, which features the Alternatives to Suicide approach.

Developed by the Wildflower Alliance in 2009, this approach stands out as one of the few groups that facilitates meaningful conversations about suicidal thoughts. Instead of focusing on risk assessment and behavior control, these groups emphasize the creation of a non-judgmental environment to encourage open discussions and dispel the silence and stigma associated with suicide, as well as other "taboo" subjects.


Every 1st & 3rd Wednesday 7:00PM Pacific Standard Time / 10:00PM Eastern Time
