What is this…Artist’s Way? Maybe you had a friend who read through it years ago and made some significant breakthroughs. Or you’ve had the book on your bookshelf and promised yourself–this is the year I open it!–every year? Or you took a class long ago…but don’t remember much. Wherever you are at, this is for ANYONE who wants to live a more creative, intentional life. The Artist’s Way is for novices and working artists of all types, including writers, visual artists, actors, dancers, musicians…ANYONE who recognizes their innate creativity. In a supportive and safe setting, in this hour and a half Zoom class we will: • acquaint ourselves with the basics and tools of The Artist’s Way (by Julia Cameron) • work on activities meant to break through some of our creative blocks and give us better insight into creative work we might consider pursuing • If you’re able, bring a copy of The Artist’s Way (many available at the local libraries) and a journal or sketchbook.
