About the Artist Way Creative Circle

Do you feel a creative spark waiting to be nurtured? Or do you identify as left-brained but you're curious about cultivating your creativity? Whether you’re beginning your creative journey for the first time or looking to reignite your creative practice, this circle offers a supportive, beginner-friendly, peer-to-peer community for exploring The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron.

Over 12 weeks, we’ll gather to share, discuss, and encourage one another as “believing mirrors”, as companions in the process of creative unblocking. Each week focuses on theme from The Artist’s Way to guide us toward greater freedom, playfulness, authenticity, and empowerment in our creative journeys.
