The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity
Thank you for your interest. The 2024 Course is now complete. Please email if you'd like to be kept in the loop for the 2025 course.
This 12-session course is based on Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity and uses experiential exercises, coaching, and tools from the book to help you reconnect with your creativity, learn to trust your wise inner voice, and clarify your direction or next steps.
Join a group of curious people who want to explore a spiritual path to higher creativity and respond to life’s challenges from a place of activated creativity. You don’t have to be an aspiring artist to join this course, just someone who wants to reconnect with and explore your innate creativity however that manifests for you. This is a great course for retirees, young adults, and everyone in between.
Past participants have said that going through this process opened their hearts and minds to new possibilities as they gained clarity about relationships, work/retirement plans, life purpose, goals for what's next, and so much more.
Each year the course fee is donated to a local non-profit that is supporting positive change.

Ideas to support your healing:
- listen to mindfulness podcasts (eg Tara Brach) and practice being mindful
- practice yoga (in person or online)
- invest in your positive growth: hire a coach or an expressive arts therapist
- each morning, write 3 journal pages: this clears out 'gunk' and leaves you open to creativity and magic moments
- each evening, reflect on 4 things from the day for which you're grateful
- each day, look for 5 'magic moments' (magic moments are things that inspire, uplift, cause you to smile)
- join a PTSD support group through MDABC
- learn about Post Traumatic Growth(PTG):
- watch Scared Sacred (a film by BC filmmaker Velcrow Ripper)
- Harvard Business Review: Growth after Trauma
- From PTSD to PTG: A Firefighter’s (My) Journey by Dr David Griffin
