Can I learn self-awareness?
In the journal I do not just express myself more openly than I could to any person; I create myself. ~ Susan Sontag
I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear. ~Joan Didion
Don’t walk through life feeling lost. The lack of a sense of self often leads to a life lived reacting to others. Not understanding how we show up in the world can lead to damaged relationships and poor decisions.
“Did I miss my chance? Can I learn self-awareness?” Yes. You gain clarity and satisfaction by discovering your values, passions, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, ideals, strengths/weaknesses.
“Why do I need self-awareness?” Self-awareness, both internal and external, is the essential foundation for optimal mental and physical health, improved social relationships, and increased success in school and work.

Course Overview
In this course, I hand you practical techniques to access the deep inner work toward self-awareness. You will play with principles like color, line, shape, composition, movement, and more. Each of the techniques will be connected to an element of soul work. In each resource video, I teach a technique or two and discuss how I use them to access emotions, promote clarity, and make more honest life decisions.
"We’ve found that even though most people believe they are self-aware, self-awareness is a truly rare quality: We estimate that only 10%–15% of the people we studied actually fit the criteria."
Tasha Eurich, PhD
How Does It Work?
Each cohort is limited to 12 people who explore the Soul Cartography material over 12 weeks. We meet, share, and encourage each other on a platform resembling many social media apps you already use. I am not using the ‘Big Tech’ apps to ensure our privacy. The live Thursday meetings are 90 minutes in length via video conferencing on Zoom. Replays are available the next day for sessions you might miss. We share posts, pictures, videos, ideas, and concerns between the video meetings. And you can DM any new friends you make!
I’ve helped thousands of people go from a blank book to life transformation.
This is a distillation of everything I’ve learned in over two decades of teaching self-awareness journaling to people of all ages, in all walks of life.

FAQ
This is about your story, not your skills. Connecting with your inner wisdom through visual expression.
This journaling approach uses simple visual elements as a pathway to self-discovery, not art-making. The marks, colors, and shapes you create serve as bridges to your intuition, not demonstrations of ability.
I will guide you through the basic techniques needed to create meaningful journal pages. These are accessible methods anyone can use regardless of artistic background. The goal is tuning into your inner knowing through the meditative act of putting color and form on paper.
Your story and wisdom are what matter. The visual elements are simply tools to access what’s already within you.
Great question! Supplies range in price from $40 to $200, depending on what you already have on hand and the quality you purchase. You won’t need to buy everything at once. I will make a list for each module.
No worries! Replays will be made available the following day and will remain posted for six months after our time together.
Guided members will have lifetime access to all the resource materials and six months’ access to the recorded sessions with your group. Self-Guided members will have lifetime access to all the resource materials.
What is the difference between regular visual journaling and Soul Cartography?
Soul Cartography is a 12-week, guided journey with fellow travelers who are exploring new tools for self-awareness and self-integrity using a visual journaling container. I will be with you every step of the way to answer questions and offer support during our calls and on the course platform.
See What Others Are Saying
There are other art-journaling courses out there. Some of them are incredible. This one is different. This course, far beyond making pretty journals, has the ability to reconnect you to who you really are. It has the ability to shed light on everything you've been stuffing down. It has the ability to neurologically and emotionally rewire you for greater emotional and mental health.
To this date, the journal I began in her class is my favorite. I worked in it faithfully during the year after my mother died, processing my grief, pulling tendrils of dreams to the surface. A new life showed up and a way forward was seeded in those pages. Betsy gave me the tools, inspiration, and courage to strip away anything that was distracting me from showing up to the pages and to my life. I am ever grateful.
What you hold in your hands at the end is the beginning of new means to relate to Life around you and, more pertinently, to yourself. As you learn not only from the course but also from ongoing contact with Betsy, the pages and this non-linear process are vehicles of showing up for yourself and of being able to have an ongoing 360* view of what is going on within and without you.
I can promise that if you choose Betsy as your guide to mapping your hero’s journey, she will help you find your inner inspiration and wisdom. The answers are within you. Not only will Betsy help you unlock them, you learn tools to allow you find them faster in the future. You will also begin to trust, not only your hand on the paper, but your intuition as you forge into the adventure of building the life you’ve dreamt of.
Imagine having someone in your life who always knows exactly what you need to do next. (Hint: it's you)
Soul Cartography is the tool you need to make the right (for you) decisions and feel 100% aligned with who you are.

Guided
vs
Self-Guided
“Only 10% of people complete a self-guided online course. Less than 1% actually see the desired results. Self-guided courses are not the best medium to achieve complicated results.” Bryan Harris, Growth Tools
I directly guide the Soul Cartography experience within a community platform using live video conferencing. I encourage questions and sharing, creating a rich experience both during the video meetings and on the social media-like platform. The small Cohort shares discoveries and insights all along the way.
Choose between the Afternoon or Evening cohort based on what fits your schedule best.
Just want the basic information? No problem! The Self-Guided version is available with lifetime access. The Self-Guided experience removes the community aspect and is perfect for people who want to explore the content on their own terms.
What's My Investment?
How much is a lack of clarity in your internal spaces costing you? How many times have you reacted to decisions poorly and regretted them later? How often have you been frustrated by your own behavior, but didn’t understand why you felt stuck? A lack of true self-awareness may already be costing you a great deal.
Choose between 6 options for live guidance with Betsy through the material, or two options for the self-guided version.
