We're closing out 2022 with our 5th round of The Artist's Way, with a few tweaks this time around.  This year, our 12-week online series will be pay-what-you-can, with all profits going towards a charity chosen by this year's participants.   

Julia Cameron's trusty book The Artist’s Way is one of the best creative tools we've come across.  This book, first published in 1992, is a collection of exercises and explorations undertaken over 12 weeks to unlock and bypass creative blocks & fears, and to get you to start doing instead of listening to your own version of creative static.  More on the book is here, here and here.  (Pat's Sunday AM will be working through It's Never Too Late to Begin Again, Julia Cameron's version of the book for those at midlife and beyond.)

Every week, each group will be meeting online to check-in, share experiences and work on weekly tasks together.  We love being able to offer this online format to help you navigate in and around your everyday schedule, and to bring together like-minded souls from near and far. All you need is a copy of The Artist's Way (or It's Never Too Late to Begin Again).
