Embark on a transformative 12-week journey through Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way with Mike Brown. This in-person creative circle is crafted to help you unlock your creative potential, overcome blocks, and establish a sustainable creative practice. Whether you're an artist, writer, musician, or simply someone seeking to reconnect with your creativity, this program offers a supportive community and structured guidance.
In each 1.5-hour weekly meeting, participants will engage in a series of activities designed to deepen their creative practice. Sessions will begin with a check-in, where attendees can share their progress, challenges, and successes in a supportive environment. Following this, we will experience The Artist’s Way audiobook together, sped up for accountability and engagement. Thoughtful discussions will help deepen understanding and connection to the material. A mindful moment will be incorporated to practice mindfulness techniques, centering participants and enhancing their creative flow. We will explore creative inspirations related to the week's theme, and dive into practical exercises and activities from the book to foster creativity. Each session will conclude with takeaway assignments to continue the creative journey between meetings.
