Artist’s Way Workshop
A 12-week workshop in discovering
and recovering your creative self. The
workshop will be facilitated as its author,
Julie Cameron, intended. ‘Creativity is like
breathing - pointers may help, but we do
the process ourselves. Creative clusters,
where we gather as peers to develop
our strength, are best regarded as tribal
gatherings, where creative beings raise,
celebrate, and actualize the creative
power which runs through us all.’
