On Day 1 of the immersion you will learn the foundational principles of The Journey Method through Brandon’s video teachings and live process work with your Host. You will undergo the first of the two core Journey processes - the Emotional Journey - together with an assigned partner and discover the power that lies in the welcoming of beliefs and emotions.
By the end of the day you will have learnt first-hand how symptomatic struggles have underlying emotional root causes stored in the body and subconscious mind - and how you can effectively resolve them.
Day 2 starts with a deeply integrative meditation after which you have the opportunity to bring questions and insights to a sharing session with your Host.
Your Host will then take you through further exercises to let you connect more deeply to your
authentic self. And from here you will learn and experience the Physical Journey, the second of the two core Journey processes.
The day will leave you feeling free, empowered, and energized with a uniquely powerful and elegant set of tools you can use in all areas of your life – for the rest of your life!

She noticed emotional blocks, deep-seated fears, abuse and childhood trauma often caused these problems.

She’s among the first Certified Journey Practitioners in the US, having completed The Journey Practitioners training in 2004/05 in the UK with Brandon Bays. She’s also a Certified Visionary Leadership Coach.

I'm Ibolya Domján, born and living in Hungary. I'm blessed with a childhood of growing up in an open-minded, big family. I turned toward self-awareness at the age of 20, during a personally challenging period - being a mother and getting a divorce at such a young age - which turned to become a highly blessed time of my life. As I understood themes and patterns which I ran into again and again, I took responsibility for my decisions and became a single mother.
I got a degree in Social Pedagogue and also in Graphology while I became a mother of a growing and growing family with my new partner.

In 2005, she became a Director of the Section (21) company.
She has a deep passion for working with those less fortunate who would otherwise not have access to this kind of work, and seeing them become uplifted and liberated.

She trained in a number of different practices including Holistic Nutrition, Liberating Breathwork and Kundalini Yoga, she is mother for 9 and 20 years old sons.

The Journey came to Irene’s life 8 years ago, after the birth of her second child. Although sudden mood swings were a challenge for her in the past, postpartum depression was the pain that drove her to find new solutions to support herself.

How The Journey Intensive Works
The Journey Intensive is an online immersion that gives you direct experience of the powerful Journey tools and their transformational results.
It is held within our private online community area with live Zoom calls and pre-recorded teaching videos. We start with a pre-meeting on Zoom a couple of days ahead of the retreat to give you an opportunity to meet the staff, support team, and your fellow participants.
DAY 1

You will undergo the first of the two core Journey processes - the Emotional Journey - together with an assigned partner and discover the power that lies in the welcoming of beliefs and emotions.
By the end of the day you will have learnt first-hand how symptomatic struggles have underlying emotional root causes stored in the body and subconscious mind - and how you can effectively resolve them.
DAY 2
Physical Journey Day
Day 2 starts with a deeply integrative meditation after which you have the opportunity to bring questions and insights to a sharing session with your Host.
Your Host will then take you through further exercises to let you connect more deeply to your authentic self. And from here you will learn and experience the Physical Journey, the second of the two core Journey processes.

"WOW l don't even know how or where to start...
When the event started, let me tell you, all l wanted to do was run and as fast as l could. My anxiety was through the roof and l was so scared. l wanted to leave so bad but l wanted to finally get to the bottom of all my pain/fear/anxiety/depression.
l had nothing to loss and so much to gain. l stayed and it was the best bloody decision l made.
If someone offered me a Million Dollars to go back to the times before the Journey, l would tell them to shove it... l am so happy to finally have found me again!!!"
- Rita from Australia
"I really thought I was free and happy in my life. I laugh now because now I know how I wasn't. There was so much that needed to be cleared!
I'm not sure whether I would've had the guts to go to a live event. I've done it all online. And my husband says: "Whatever you do, keep doing it."

I cannot be fully in a retreat environment due to work or parental responsibilities. Is it still worth joining?
The Journey Intensive is designed to give you a powerful experience of The Journey process. Each session leads you step by step towards your Journey Process work and for this reason, we ask you to fully commit to the weekend and be present for every session. If you are unable to commit fully to the weekend option, then please contact our team to find out how you can be supported best: support@thejourney.com
Can only participate on the weekend that is not necessarily for my region, e.g. I'm in Australia but want to participate on the dates of the European event?
No problem! You can sign up to whichever event suits your calendar! Only thing you need to ensure then is that you are available in that other time zone.
What is the cancellation policy?

Is this method compatible with other healing modalities?
Yes, absolutely!
As Brandon says, The Journey is a way and not the way! The Journey supports you in clearing your emotional and physical blocks, in fact anything that limits you from living your life from your fullest and deepest potential - from your essential wisdom, genius and creativity. And any other effective healing modalities, nutritional support or positive lifestyle adjustments will only support you further in your healing journey.
We never advise you to replace any orthodox medical treatment, and always encourage you to take professional medical advice. You can simply let this program complement other modalities, conventional or alternative.
Is this event live or pre-recorded?
Brandon Bays teaching modules for the Journey Intensive are pre-recorded and represent the best and most potent teachings this course has to offer. The presenter will host the event live, including all the process work and live sharing sessions and you will retain access to the replays for 14 days post event!
How does it all work?
Immediately upon registration, you will receive The Journey e-book and audio book link. On Thursday before the retreat begins there will be a live pre-meeting with the co-host from your region, for final preparation and meeting the other participants.
The whole 2 day event plus the pre-meeting take place in real-time within a zoom room.
You will receive 2 weeks access to the program recordings within the Journey Community once it finishes . You will receive live support only for the duration of the live courses.
The weekend retreat begins on Saturday morning with the Welcome and Retreat Opening with your co-presenter. This is followed by numerous teaching videos from Brandon and live practical sessions with your co-host throughout the day, all of which are necessary to prepare you for swapping a Journey process in the afternoon. A similar structure is on Sunday as well.
