What Is PI:CJEAI?

The Project Insight: Creative Journal Expressive Arts Institute® (PI:CJEAI) invites participants to reconnect with their inner world through creative journaling and expressive art activities. By writing and drawing with both hands, individuals engage both hemispheres of the brain—encouraging balance, focus, and a deeper understanding of self.

 

Created under Project Insight®, this innovative approach combines psychology, creativity, and mindfulness to help participants break through emotional blocks, reduce anxiety, and find personal clarity. The process is both playful and profound, offering participants the freedom to explore without judgment.

A Pathway to Personal and Professional Growth

PI:CJEAI isn’t only about journaling—it’s a transformative method that strengthens emotional intelligence, creativity, and leadership. Participants range from educators, therapists, coaches, artists, and caregivers to anyone passionate about using creativity as a tool for transformation.

 

Graduates often integrate the PI:CJEAI method into their personal practice or professional field—enhancing counseling, teaching, art therapy, wellness coaching, and more. Many also use it to start their own expressive arts programs within schools, clinics, health care facilities, or community centers, and more.

A Learning Experience That Heals and Transforms

At PI:CJEAI, learning happens through play, reflection, and connection. Participants engage in hands-on workshops and journaling activities that help them express emotions, uncover patterns, and gain new insights.


Using bilateral stimulation (alternating between the left and right hands) activates both sides of the brain, improving memory, problem-solving, and self-awareness. This practice also enhances emotional regulation—helping participants access calm, creativity, and resilience.


Our approach is holistic, emphasizing both personal development and professional skill-building for those who wish to guide others through the expressive arts.
