The Artist’s Way
Reinvent yourself.
The Artist’s Way is designed to help people transform their lives through creativity.
Written by Julia Cameron in the early 1990’s, The Artist’s Way provides exercises, insights, and daily routines to help people reinvent themselves through the act of creativity.
From my own experience leading Artist’s Way groups, people who have been “blocked” in some capacity have found the structure and insights contained within to support a type of spiritual breakthrough allowing them to become unblocked. Prolific artists who found themselves at a crossroads have been inspired to achieve more and find more clear vision. Non-artists, non-creative types have been guided to improve their everyday lives by finding their own creativity within and surprising themselves.
As a small group, we meet weekly for 12-weeks to study + reinforce the key principals of the book to condition yourself towards creative flow. We also reach beyond the workbook to explore unique ideas about spontaneity, curiosity, and lateral thinking.
The end result is a new approach to your art, your work and your life with a healthy, creative perspective.

A note on commitment
The Artist's Way requires a firm 12-week commitment. We will meet online and/or in-person once-a-week for roughly 1.5 hours. Two reasonable absences are acceptable.
While schedules do change and we will adjust, the expectation is consistent attention to the work assigned to achieve momentum.
