Everyone is creative, but not everyone believes it. Julia Cameron’s book The Artist’s Way opens the door to exploring this expressive, imaginative, vital part of yourself with a series of exercises, questions, and small steps that fulfill their promise to open you to your creativity. “We hunger for what might be called creative living—an expanded sense of creativity in our business lives, in sharing with our children, our spouse, our friends,” she writes in her groundbreaking book. In this course, you will experience all of that.

The first four weeks with The Artist’s Way includes journaling, conversation, and class participation. Participants will engage in a series of small, creative acts that open them to the vast world of their imagination.

At the end of the fourth week, Karleen Koen will no longer facilitate the class but leave it to walk on its own, with Writespace continuing to offer Zoom space for the duration of the thirteen-week program. Friendships with others and friendship with one’s self are among the prizes this course offers.

Text: The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, new or used. Participants will need to purchase a copy of the book on their own.

Important commitments to understand: You will write morning pages every day, complete an artist’s date every week, and do the work of each chapter. As much as is possible, please.

Tool Box for each class:

Something to write on
Crayons or colored pencils or pens
