“ Eight-year-old Matthew was diagnosed with ADD. He was withdrawn, hostile and failing at school. After three Journey processes, he is now warmly affectionate and top of his class.” Brandon Bays, 2003 (The Journey™ for kids)
What is Journeywork for children all about?
The Junior Journey is part of The Journey ™ program developed by Brandon Bays to facilitate healing on all levels, emotional, physical and spiritual. It is a profound, yet simple process designed to access hidden traumas, repressed emotions and cell memories that result in emotional or physical disharmony.
These disharmonies create problems for children in various areas of their lives as they struggle to cope with every day situations, often ‘acting out’ the stored pain or becoming quiet and withdrawn, preventing them from living their full potential, sometimes developing physical symptoms.
The process allows children to access these emotions and express them in a supported, constructive way, finally reaching a place of forgiveness and understanding. During their journey they will receive inner qualities that will help them cope better in the future.
The Junior Journey process reads like a fairy tale, and takes the children on an exciting inner adventure. Children who have experienced journeywork have loved the way they ‘create’ their own journey.
Private sessions
Private Journey session give you or your child the opportunity to experience journeywork tailored to your specific needs, in a safe, private environment.
Working in small groups/ Workshops?
- These Fun Healing workshops for kids (and parents) are designed to be enjoyable yet at the same time deeply uplifting and healing. Helping children liberate their potential.
- Children (and their parents) will complete a junior journey as a part of a small group.
- The children complete ‘Before’ and ‘After’ drawings or paintings expressing their emotions. These pictures are often clear representation of the amazing shifts that take place during the journey process.
- To support the amazing changes that take place during the journey process the children participate in simple self-esteem and confidence building activities.
- Children may act out or share their experiences.
- Fun, games and quiet time.
Please contact Deborah to set up a workshop in your School, local community or in your area. Parent participation is optional.
Journeywork in schools
The benefits of using journeywork with children is being well documented in South Africa (and other countries across the globe) at present. The incredible results the schools and their communities have gained from the journeywork has inspired me to reach out to schools in London and give children the opportunity to be free of limiting patterns, blocks, behaviours that are holding them back in life, whether personally, socially or academically.
To Head teachers and teachers
This is an invitation to you to explore a new avenue of addressing fundamental issues in children in your school in a simple, cost effective way, bringing greater happiness and higher levels of achievement.
Having worked in schools for 10 years (in South Africa and the UK) I am very aware of the current pressures on children and teachers to achieve very high standards; The stresses both teachers and children face being in a classroom with children with such diverse needs and diverse backgrounds; plus the kinds of behavioral challenges occurring both in the classroom and on the playground.
- Raise academic standards by supporting children with learning and or behavioural difficulties and releasing their inner genius
- Reduce bullying by addressing core issues in aggressive children
- Build confidence and raise the self esteem of children of all ages
- Help children (and staff) deal with emotional upsets and traumas
- Support children dealing with any challenging circumstances
- Empowers staff by giving them practical skills and techniques that can be used in all sorts of challenging situations
- Facilitate open communication between staff and children
- Improve relationships
- Create a happier more peaceful environment
- Happier children means happier staff
The junior Journey process is a simple process easily implemented in the classroom, small groups or with individual children, requiring nothing more than a safe space.
In order for a child to complete the Junior Journey process they need to have some ability to think creatively or in an abstract way. The child also has to be able to concentrate for at least 5 to 10 minutes although they do not have to be sitting still for this time. I am open to working with ANY child i believe has the capacity to benefit from Journeywork, in a creative manner with the hope of facilitating healing. I believe it will be most effective if a child has at least the mental age of a 5 year old. Please feel free to call me and chat about any queries about a child with specific needs.
Ultimately every child is unique and so the Journey process will be tailored to the child's specific needs.
