Let’s walk through winter into spring with a new creative practice.
Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way is a playful and wily guide to re-encountering the young, creative, and lively parts of us that know — instinctively — how to move towards joy. When followed with lightness and support, the book can serve as an instructional manual for falling in love with yourself.
This winter, we will move as a small group through the full 12-week book, over a spacious 16-week timeline. In tandem with the creative experimentation and self-discovery guided by the book, the group will work with emotions and memories sparked by the process from a parts-work perspective.
