“Artist Way Course”
Based on the extraordinary programme developed by Julia Cameron and detailed in her best-selling book The Artist’s Way, this 13 week Course is a fun, experiential journey into creativity. It is not elitist or for established artists, writers, etc. It is for everyone interested in a more creative way of living, of decision-making, of be-ing, in relationships at work and in life generally.
The Artist’s Way provides a twelve-week course that guides you through the process of recovering your creative self. It dispels the “I’m not talented enough” conditioning that holds many people back and helps you to unleash your own inner artist. It’s step-by-step approach enables you to:
Start out on your own path to creativity.
Dissolve the barriers that are preventing your creative impulse from finding expression.
Use your rediscovered talents in whatever way you wish.
Learn that it is never too late to start fulfilling your dreams.
The Artist’s Way helps demystify the creative process by making it part of your daily life. It tackles your self-doubts, self-criticism and worries about time, money and the support to pursue your creative dream. It has already helped thousands of people to uncover their hidden talents – it can help you, too.” (The Artist’s Way).
There are tools and exercises to use and work through and we will follow the book closely with some additions.
The old adage “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is operative here!
One exercise is required daily, the Morning Pages.
You’ll learn the genius of this meditative process as you travel the path.
One exercise is weekly, the Artist Date.
So, some commitment (to yourself) and discipline is called for. That’s no harm!
There are no exams, no criticism, only a supportive, experienced facilitator who has walked the path and fellow travelers to walk with you!
I guarantee plenty of laughter, growth, learning, wanting to give up, being glad you didn’t, loving some of the group, wishing others were a million miles away…..ALL the joy and dynamism of being part of a creative cluster, ending hopefully in deep satisfaction and big or small changes for all.
