Artists' Way Workshop

Are you creatively blocked??? If so, we have just the remedy. For the past few weeks we have been conducting workshop's based on Julia Cameron's best selling book, The Artist's Way. A series of 'artist dates' and writing daily morning pages help you to rediscover your path to living a creative life. We are a collective and eclectic 'bunch of characters' all from various backgrounds and cultures but with a common desire to fulfill our creative selves. Last week's task was to assemble a collage, basically a rip and shred 20 minute exercise of images torn from magazines or the like. When assembled the collages revealed dreams and discoveries about ourselves that we may not have been aware. The sacred circle of participants helps support each of us as we break through sometimes scary or even painful blocks that we have held for many years. The goal is to move forward, with baby steps and a 'leap and the net will appear' philosophy. Pick up a copy of the book and enjoy the ride.
