Who is it for?

Are you an artist or a creative looking for a group setting to explore, define and materialize your passions?

Whether you are a poet, painter, singer, writer, comic, woodworker, or weaver, The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron presents an exciting method for artists to recover their creativity from limiting beliefs, self-sabotage, inattention, fear, jealousy, guilt, addictions, and other forces that inhibit the creative process.

Why do it?

Many of us are looking to connect or reconnect with our creative selves right now. Often we aren't quite sure what is holding us back. We just can't seem to get started, have a hard time keeping a regular creative practice, or we want to try something new but don't know where to start.

We know what that can be like--it may seem like we create with ease--social media can have that effect. In reality, most creatives have periods where they feel stuck. It is the main reason we teach this class yearly- we need it too. We truly enjoy it, and sharing this experience keeps us inspired. We wish to commit to pushing past creative blocks and learning the root of what's holding us back. And it feels good to share our knowledge and experience with others as we dive into The Artist's Way together.

This class is hosted virtually via an online classroom and zoom. In addition to weekly virtual meetings, we will be able to post and share additional resources. Students can interact between weekly classes and share experiences as they like. AND without having to step foot onto Facebook or social media. That's right. You won't have to log onto a Facebook group to interact, ask questions, or pull up resources. Everything is available in our online Artist's Way Course.

We are offering two virtual class options each Wednesday (one at noon EST and another at 8pm EST), to make this experience accessible to busy creatives who want to commit to their creativity but struggle to find the time. We also wish for you to create a habit of dedicating time to your creative growth (you deserve it!) and be connected in a supportive community that will be there long after the class has ended.

Thank you for considering joining us. If you have any questions about the class, please contact us.

Content Warning:

Throughout this book, Julia Cameron references a "Great Creator" or "God." You are welcome to replace that word with whatever word you need i.e. Universe, Flow, Source, Higher Self. I've worked with many students ranging from deeply religious to atheist. If you have concerns about this, please reach out.
