What we’re about
The Artists Way is a book and a course by Julia Cameron's which is designed to unblock and recover natural creativity. I have had this book on my shelf for a whole year and as it is recommended to find a group to share the experience with, I have decided to do that for the start of 2026!
I am looking for 5 - 9 other people to meet with once a week for 2 - 3 hours who are keen to commit to doing the course.
It involves reading the next chapter and doing 2 - 3 tasks each week including a weekly creative "solo date" so there is some significant time commitment! If you haven't heard of it then I recommend you do some research but in essence, this is a 12-weeks of reading one chapter in advance of meeting up to discuss it. Each chapter sets you 2 - 3 hours of tasks for the week including daily "morning pages" and the weekly creative "date with . yourself" At the meeting itself we will discuss what we read and what our experience was as we did the task. Some people do just read the book but it is widely accepted that the accountability and support of the weekly group is very helpful And for me, I want to meet some likeminded people to share this journey with in the new year!
Here is a little bit more from google about the course but I recommend you do a bit of research yourself to see if it is for you and you will need your own copy of the book to take part. Other than that it is free you will need to buy coffees for yourself at our chosen meeting spot. I am "hosting" it because I want to do it, not because I want to make any money out of running it so there is obviously no charge for the course itself.
I love being creative and especially love writing (poetry) but I am no artist. I spend a lot of time trying to do art at home and making a mess and feeling quite frustrated so please don't think this group is for artists. From when I got the book and started to read it a year ago, what I can tell you is it is about exploring ideas, letting fear go, connecting with some inner "spiritual" part of you and becoming free enough to create - all of this is really interesting to me!!
