WHO ITS FOR
You’re looking for community and structure to help re-engaging yourself creatively.
You've quietly stopped making things, and you're not sure when that happened.
Creativity used to feel like part of you, and lately it feels like a chore—or a memory.
You're ready to look at what gets in your own way, not just push through it.
Wherever you're joining from, this group is built to meet you there.
Support for the person of the artist.
THE STRUCTURE
The Artist's Way is Julia Cameron's twelve-week program for creative recovery, built around two core practices: Morning Pages—three handwritten pages completed first thing each morning—and the Artist Date, a weekly solo outing to replenish your creative well. We'll move through the book at a pace designed for our twelve-week group, allowing us to spend meaningful time with each theme instead of rushing toward the finish.

Morning Pages are three handwritten pages completed first thing in the morning. Rather than polished writing, they're a private practice for clearing your mind, noticing patterns, and reconnecting with your inner voice.
-
An Artist Date is a weekly solo adventure designed to refill your creative well. It could be visiting a museum, taking a long walk, browsing a bookstore, or trying something new—anything that sparks curiosity and delight.
-
Life happens. This isn't a group about keeping perfect pace—it's about staying engaged. You're welcome to join each week even if you didn't finish everything. We'll encourage consistency over perfection.
-
We encourage attending as consistently as possible because the conversations build from week to week. However, life happens so we allow 2 missed session to account for life.
-
Yes! Because this is an educational group rather than psychotherapy, participants are welcome to join from anywhere in the United States.
-
You don't need to arrive feeling inspired. In fact, many people join because they feel disconnected from their creativity. This group is designed to gently help you reconnect—with curiosity, compassion, and the support of a thoughtful community.
