Multi-Session Class
Meets 6 Fridays, April 14- May 19 from 10am-12pm CTVIRTUAL CLASS
Seeking Wisdom, Julia Cameron’s most recent book, offers us even more of her over three decades of thought on creativity.
Going back to the origins of The Artist’s Way, Cameron elucidates the mindfulness and centering roots of her creative tools for artists – Morning Pages, Artist’s Dates and Walks – and adds a fresh writing tool (easy and helpful!) for exploring what inspires us, what motivates us, and how we can creatively mine the small moments of our everyday lives.
Creatives of all backgrounds and beliefs are offered grounding practices to explore our spirit, contemplate the origins of our creativity in the natural world and the big universe, and consider what a reflective practice might bring to our creative expression.
The required copy of Seeking Wisdom- A Spiritual Path to Creative Connection by Julia Cameron, is NOT included in the class fee. Borrow from your local library or purchase the most recent edition at Wet Paint.
No art experience or familiarity with the The Artist’s Way required.
Fun art materials included!
