Following the Artist’s Way: June 23-September 21

In stock

In 1999, Dimity grabbed her dad’s copy of The Artist’s Way as she and her sisters were cleaning out his house after his death. The autumn tones on the book’s cover didn’t speak to her, but its subtitle did: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity.

For over twenty years, the book traveled to six different houses before Dimity finally cracked the cover in 2023 in a group program.

The heart of The Artist’s Way is Morning Pages and Artist’s Date. Daily Morning Pages are three pages of unfiltered journaling. Punctuation, spelling, cohesive thought don’t matter in Pages; spilling your uncensored thoughts from your head to the page do. The Artist’s Date is a weekly solo outing that nurtures your creativity and allows you to connect with yourself.

Dimity flung herself into The Morning Pages, and within days, an unexpected surprise surfaced: lightness. Her physical world and her busy calendar hadn’t changed, but her mindset shifted. A gentle brightness began to infuse her days. Even though she took the course in the dead of winter, Morning Pages (and her occasional Artist’s Date) recalibrated her internal temperature to perfect 65-degree, sunny day. Like spring on the inside.

Now, over three years later, she’s still doing Morning Pages, and is thrilled to create a program to guide you on your personal Path to Higher Creativity.

If you’re thinking, I’m not creative, think again.

Creativity isn’t reserved for artists, writers, and performers. It’s part of being human. You may not feel it now, but creativity lives within you. When you begin to access your creativity, you also find your voice, your truth, and your joy. (And you may be inspired to pick up a paintbrush, a clump of clay, or your dusty knitting needles along the way!)

For 12 transformative weeks, we’ll explore one chapter per week as you build a deeper relationship with your creative self. With Morning Pages, Artist’s Date, and our small, safe group as your steady companions, you’ll unearth your creative, authentic, wise self one page at a time.

Note: We are limiting this program to 20 participants to allow for an optimal group experience.

The Details

MEETINGS
Our weekly meetings will be held over Zoom on Mondays, starting June 23.

  • All meetings will be from 7:00-8:15 pm ET/4:00-5:15 pm PT.
  • We will spend about 15 minutes checking in, 20 minutes writing, and 40 minutes discussing the week’s chapter and the writing prompt.
  • You do not have to attend all the meetings, but being present at least 75% of them will significantly help with processing your experience and staying accountable to your Morning Pages and Artist’s date.
  • In the interest of privacy, meetings will NOT be recorded and/or shared afterward.

OTHER CONNECTION POINTS

  • A weekly newsletter with a preview of the week’s chapter, as well as the writing exercise for the upcoming meeting.
  • A dedicated What’s App group to check in and stay connected with each other. We’re skipping Facebook for this program so we can stay focused on Following the Artist’s Way without getting sidetracked by everything else in the feed.

QUESTIONS + ANSWERS

A copy of The Artist’s Way. (Any edition works!)
A journal you are excited to write in. (You may want two: one for your Morning Pages and one for other prompts and assignments.)
A pen or pencil with which you like to write.
A quiet space and time for writing. Plan on devoting at least 30 minutes/most days to Following The Artist’s Way. (Knowing, of course, that life can easily send hiccups your way.)

Thirteen weeks; we realize it says twelve weeks in the product descriptions, but we’ll take the first week for an intro, answer questions, and to get settled.

June 23: The program starts (with an introduction meeting/class).
June 30-September 21: each week, we’ll read one chapter in The Artist’s Way and meet to check in, do a quick writing assignment, and discuss.

No! We are all inherently creative, even if you don’t feel it right now. “Creativity is our true nature,” writes Julia Cameron in the introduction of The Artist’s Way. Unlocking your creativity through Morning Pages and Artist’s Date will help you live a fuller life as your authentic self.

We are limiting the program to 20 participants in order to ensure a inclusive, encouraging environment with enough space to get to know each other virtually.

We are unable to issue refunds on Following The Artist’s Way; please be sure this programs works with your schedule before registering.
