The Gifts of The Artist's Way Workshop

Seattle WA

15 April, 2021

Description

This workshop will be held live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom invitation the week of the event. The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron is an international bestseller on creativity. Kate Gavigan, a local Artist’s Way instructor and trained Mental Health Therapist, has been leading Artist’s Way classes since 2009. This introductory Artist’s Way 3- hour workshop led by Kate will focus on highlighting the primary tools of creative recovery that Julia Cameron outlines in her international bestseller on creativity: The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity. Julia Cameron uses 3 basic tools for students to enhance their lives and their creativity: 1) morning pages (writing 3 pages longhand of stream of consciousness writing in the morning), 2) artist’s dates (a weekly SOLO fun date) and 3) completing creativity exercises at the back of each chapter. In this interactive presentation, Kate will facilitate a discussion on the gifts that can come from The Artist’s Way book and share how the material has benefited her and her Artist’s Way students. Attendees will also get their creative hands busy with some fun exercises from the book The Artist’s Way. Students who utilize these creativity tools often report numerous benefits. Specifically, we often hear from our Artist’s Way students that as a result of using The Artist’s Way tools and going through the material they more fully and genuinely know themselves, they discover and rediscover their gifts and talents and report having more fun and joy in their lives. “In order to retrieve your creativity, you need to find it.” -Julia Cameron. The tools described in the workshop can help attendees do just that!
