Rediscover and Recover Your Creative Self

The Artists Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity

 Join Mary Ellen Jones for a twelve-week course using Julia Cameron’s groundbreaking book ”The Artists Way”. This course is credited with having helped millions find and express their authentic creativity in their lives and in their work in the world.

  • Stop telling yourself “it’s too late”.
  • Stop waiting until you make enough money to do
    something you love.
  • Stop telling yourself “it’s just my ego” whenever you yearn for a
    more creative life.
  • Stop telling yourself that dreams don’t matter; that they are only dreams and you should be more sensible.
  • Stop fearing that your family and friends would think you’re crazy.
  • Stop telling yourself that creativity is a luxury and you
    should be grateful for what you’ve got.

As you learn to recognize, nurture and protect your inner artist, you will be able to move beyond pain and creative constriction. You will learn ways to recognize and resolve fear, remove emotional scar tissue and strengthen your confidence. Damaging old ideas about creativity will be explored and discarded. Working with a combination of experiential exercises, lecture, Q & A and readings, you will experience an intensive guided encounter with your own creativity, your private villains, champions, wishes, fears, dreams, hopes and triumphs. The experience will make you excited, depressed, angry, afraid, joyous, hopeful and ultimately more free.
