Using Creativity As A Way To Bridge Transition And Change
THIS CLASS IS FULL! YOU CAN ASK TO BE PUT ON A WAIT LIST.

Whenever we face times of change and transition we can use creativity as a bridge or a threshold to cross from one thing to another. That takes courage.
BEING CREATIVE DEMANDS COURAGE! BEING CREATIVE DEMANDS THE WILLINGNESS TO BE A BEGINNER, OVER AND OVER AGAIN! This is a new 12-week series using one of Julia Cameron’s latest books, It’s Never Too Late To Begin Again. I say, it’s never to late to begin. It’s The Artist’s Way with a new focus on transitions and life changes and how to use your creativity to define the life you are redefining. This book appears to be aimed at retirement but at closer look I’d say it’s about all manner of transitions. Replace the word retirement with empty nest, or new career, moving, loss or gain of a partner, returning to school, exploring new found interests, reevaluating spiritual beliefs…and it quickly becomes a book about using creativity to navigate change. And it seems to me we are all facing major change in the coming year. Here are the details: Dates: January 8-March 26, 2018 Times: Monday evenings from 7-9 pm for 12 weeks Location: Private residence Inner SE Portland Cost: $300 Address will be given once you register and pay. It’s Never Too Late To Begin Again features the tried and true tools found in The Artist’s Way with a shift in focus and the addition of Memoir writing. This may not appeal to everyone but I’m personally looking forward to using the prompts to wander around in my memory, searching for gems. This is not the daunting task of trying to write down your entire life’s story but rather taking instead small increments of time, bits and pieces, week by week, and using your life experiences to gain powerful insights about what’s next. |
Sometimes we write, sometimes we share, sometimes we make collage.

Being creative is a sacred gift. It's beautifully woven together for us into our spirituality and our sexuality. Creativity is our birthright. Yet, sadly, for so many of us, it gets pushed aside by fear and obligations, by the shoulds and have to's of life.
Where are the places you get stuck?
Are you afraid you aren't creative?
Do you think you can't do it right?
Do you have an Inner Critic or personal Crazy Maker?
Have you reached a place where you're ready to move forward but don't know how or perhaps you don't even know what you long for?
The Artist's Way was the first book written by Julia Cameron in which she outlined her now famous Basic Tools and Principles. It is more than a book, it's a process, it's a journey, it's a way of life. I've been leading creativity groups for more than 20 years, using these tools. As the organizer I provide skilled and experienced facilitation and a safe environment in which amazing change can happen.
These classes work!
I know that first hand. Many people come back over and over, when they feel stuck again, when they're ready to move to the next level, when they need support and encouragement.
Of course you can do it on your own. Many have.
Of course you can do it in a peer group. Many have.
And what I offer is just another way to have the experience. A facilitated, guided group experience works really well for some and not for others. I will tell you that about half the people who join my classes say they have tried to do the book on their own but have never been able to finish. You decide.
I guarantee that if you show up, do the work and play, your life will change and there will be no turning back.
Are you someone who dares...?
