What:
- JoClub is an international group of people dedicated to self-awareness, growth, and cultivating a positive community through the tool of journaling. We journal as a collective on live journaling calls on a weekly basis, and stay in touch in an always-on community platform for daily conversation, monthly challenges, and more.
- Curated and themed prompts crafted by JoClub are released everyday or weekly (based on member preference) straight to members’ inboxes. Each prompt includes a thought-provoking paragraph that helps spark introspection and keep members thinking throughout their days.
- Members get access to 8+ live journaling sessions via zoom which last an hour and a half and include guided prompts facilitated by two highly trained facilitators who all started out as JoClub members.
- Members are given first access to global retreats, custom playlists, discounts on challenges and workshops, and help build the JoClub movement along facilitators and founder, Jo Franco.
- Every member will get access to a Circle platform which is a world designed to keep members in touch on a daily basis. The Circle community is also where members RSVP and get links to upcoming sessions, watch previous recordings from our library of sessions, and engage in threads (book club, global playlist, monthly challenge, gratitude and manifesting to name a few).
- JoClub is not a substitute for therapy, it is a forum of thinkers invested in personal development. We highly suggest you seek professional help if you feel its right for you.
- Our three pillars are:
- CLARITY: We guide you through prompts that help make a path to fulfillment as clear as possible.
- COMMUNITY: We discuss a range of topics that help develop self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and self-discovery, and keep each other accountable through the most diverse and invested community on the Internet.
- CONNECTION: Not only will you connect to yourself, but you’ll connect to the community of global journalers bold enough to share our innermost thoughts with the world.
Who:
- JoClub is made for people who are tired of having surface conversations. We're committed to self-awareness, and action steps to design and attract our dream lives and relationships, including the one with ourselves.
- JoClub is a diverse and open minded community of introverts, ambiverts, extraverts, writers, creatives, thinkers, entrepreneurs, and growth minded people. We welcome anyone who is seriously committed to the habit of journaling and self-awareness, and will invest in you as much as you invest in yourself. We are global, and come in all ages, colors, religious, sexual orientations, pronouns, shapes, and sizes. Despite our differences, we're all supportive of one another and support each others' life milestones.
- Members typically have at least an intermediate level of English and we accept accents with love and open arms.
When:
- As of December 20th, 2022, JoClub meetings are one and a half hours long, and currently happen several times a month at both 12pm EST and 5pm EST. Members get access to around eight sessions a month.
- To keep members accountable throughout the days, they receive either daily prompts or weekly based on their preference, as well as food for thought explanations to help them stay mindful.
- The Circle community is where daily conversation happens and where JoClub members to stay in touch. We host monthly challenges, a book club, a global playlist thread, and members ask more prompts to keep you on your toes.
Where:
- With a device and an internet connection, you can meet up virtually with other members through our live journaling Zoom calls, or our Circle chat threads from the comfort of your own home. Android and Apple apps are available for free download to get access to the Circle community on your phone.
- The meetings take place on Zoom, a video calling platform that does not require any downloading. You simply press the link, type in your name, and join the meeting at the scheduled time which you’ll see scheduled in Circle.
- If you’re on the go, you can join too! You can keep your camera off if that is more convenient for you
Why:
- Motivation: With daily, introspective prompts, you will never have to think twice about what to write in your journal. JoClub prompts are the equivalent of adding a shot of espresso in your drink- a burst of motivation to keep going on with your day.
- Unique: JoClub is your one-stop shop for introspection and journaling! We pride ourselves on being the most wholesome community on the internet.
- Community: JoClub members all have one important thing in common- a passion for personal growth. We’re your cheerleaders all around the world, and celebrate your highs and comfort you on your lows. JoClub members see us as their support system, and confide in one another in profound and important ways. PS: Even if you are introverted (Many of the members consider themselves to be as well!), you can comfortably socialize because we host a zero tolerance safe space.
- Diversity: JoClub is a global group with members who have had varying upbringings and life experiences. Regardless of factors like age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religious beliefs, and anything else that makes us all incredibly unique, we come together to support one another.
