The Artist’s Way: A Twelve-Week Course

Julia Cameron

A decade ago, Julia Cameron published her groundbreaking book The Artist’s Way, a course in discovering and recovering your creative self. Now in use by nearly three million people worldwide, the course is credited with having helped millions find and express their authentic creativity in their lives and in their work in the world. Join us for a twelve-week course with Julia Cameron herself. Stop telling yourself “it’s too late,” stop waiting until you make enough money to do something you love. Stop telling yourself “it’s just my ego” whenever you yearn for a more creative life. Stop telling yourself that dreams don’t matter, that they are only dreams and you should be more sensible. Stop fearing that your family and friends would think you’re crazy. Stop telling yourself that creativity is a luxury and you should be grateful for what you’ve got. As you learn to recognize, nurture and protect your inner artist, you will be able to move beyond pain and creative constriction. You will learn ways to recognize and resolve fear, remove emotional scar tissue, and strengthen your confidence. Damaging, old ideas about creativity will be explored and discarded. Working with a combination of experiential exercises, lecture, Q&A and readings, you will experience an intensive, guided encounter with your own creativity—your private villains, champions, wishes, fears, dreams, hopes and triumphs. The experience will make you excited, depressed, angry, afraid, joyous, hopeful and, ultimately, more free.

Note: There is no prerequisite. Class has limited enrollment, so pre-registration is highly recommended. Please bring a notebook and a pen.
