Artist's Way Workshop
(In Person & Online)
Unlock Your Creativity In 13 Weeks!
Remember the 1990s? It was a time of bold self-expression—grunge music, indie films, and art that challenged the norm. It was also the decade that gave us one of the most influential creativity guides of all time: Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way.
Published in 1992, The Artist’s Way became an instant classic, helping millions of people rediscover their creative spark. Now, more than 30 years later, its tools and techniques remain as powerful and relevant as ever.
Are you ready to reignite your creativity and reclaim your inner artist?
In this 13-week workshop, we’ll work through The Artist’s Way chapter by chapter. Whether you’re a blocked artist looking to reconnect with your creativity or someone who’s always wanted to explore art but didn’t know how to start, this workshop will guide you step-by-step.
You don’t need to be a professional artist—or even call yourself “creative.” All you need is a desire to explore your imagination, overcome self-doubt, and make room for inspiration.
What Is The Artist's Way?
First published in 1992, The Artist’s Way is a 12-week program for creative recovery. Using practical tools like Morning Pages and Artist Dates, Julia Cameron’s method helps you:
- Silence your inner critic.
- Break free from perfectionism and fear.
- Develop habits that keep your creativity flowing.
- Rediscover play, fun, and experimentation.
Whether you were inspired by ’90s indie films, the DIY music scene, or the renaissance of journaling and scrapbooking, this course taps into that same spirit of exploration—with updated tools to fit your modern life.
What Will You Learn From This Workshop?
By the end of 13 weeks you’ll:
- Overcome Creative Blocks: Identify what’s stopping you from creating and learn how to move past it with confidence.
- Build Lasting Creative Habits: Develop daily and weekly practices, like Morning Pages and Artist Dates, that keep your creativity flowing long after the workshop ends.
- Reignite Joy and Inspiration: Rediscover the excitement of creating simply for the love of it, without judgment or perfectionism.
- Connect with Like-Minded Creatives: Join a supportive community of fellow artists and creators who understand the ups and downs of the creative process.
- Feel Empowered to Create: Whether you’re writing, painting, making music, or exploring creativity for the first time, you’ll finish the workshop with the tools and confidence to keep going.
Who Is This Workshop For?
This workshop is for anyone ready to reconnect with their creativity, whether you:
- Used to be creative but feel blocked or uninspired.
