Discover and Recover Your Creative Self
A 13 week course aimed at freeing your creativity
|
Using the text of The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity – 25th Anniversary Edition – by Julia Cameron In the author’s words: Many of us wish we were more creative. Many of us sense we are more creative, but unable to effectively tap that creativity. Our dreams elude us. Our lives feel somehow flat. Often, we have great ideas, wonderful dreams, but are unable to actualize them for ourselves. Sometimes we have specific creative longings we would love to be able to fulfill – learning to play the piano, painting, taking an acting class, or writing. Sometimes our goal is more diffuse. We hunger for what might be called creative living – an expanded sense of creativity in our business lives, in sharing with our children, our spouse, our friends. 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 this book (The Artist’s Way), 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. |

13 Week Group
Within the safety and support of the group we will individually dive into the depths of our creative constriction and build upon our creative potential while benefiting from hearing the stories of others and thus gain new perspective on our own experiences. The group will help to break through any feelings of isolation while supporting you to become more connected to your deepest self.
The group will meet weekly via Zoom (video or phone) for 2.5 hours to work through the tasks of each chapter. The time of the meeting will be agreed upon as the group forms.
In addition to the group meeting you spend time journaling each day and need to set aside time each week for an artistic experience and time to read and work through some exercises for one chapter in the book.
Expect to spend 7-10 hours a week awakening your artist within.
This group has a 'pay from the heart' suggested fee of $350 for the full 13 week practice.*
In addition, you will need to purchase:

*While Julia Cameron in her book The Artist's Way advocates for groups to be free of charge, there has been a strong shift over the years to recognize that the time and skills of artists and coaches has value. Thus a moderate fee has been set for the facilitation of this group practice. The fee is 'pay from the heart' which means that the fee is a suggested amount that covers the cost of running the program. If you can pay more to support others to attend, please consider this form of sponsorship. If the fee is preventing you from attending then you are welcome to pay less. Please Contact Alec about your 'pay from the heart' options.
