The Artist Way Support and Discussion Group
January 12, 2011 - April 6. 6:30 - 9:00 PM
$260. A $50 deposit holds your place
 
The Artist's Way, the top support group for people who want to find, own, and express their CREATIVITY.

The book by the same name by Julie Cameron will be used. It is available in every bookstore, sometimes even found used, and on Amazon, of course.  Please find one not written in, as you'll want to make your own notes.  You'll also need a notebook dedicated to this course.
 
The exercises are done on our own time, and our meetings will be a sharing of our experiences with the exercises and the planning of the next week's project. Meaningful connections are made, and our viewpoints shaken up. I credit this group with my own recovery of my creative self.
 
Fee is $260, with a $25 discount for women who have taken any of my workshops.  Cookies or brownies, fruit, coffee and water are provided.  Arrive by 6, as we will start on time. We meet here at 771 Nova Court, 43085.
 
Testimonial:
The Artist's Way workshop has been a wonderful experience for me.  I am a budding painter, and a long time writer who hasn't written much in years.  For me, this has been as much about unblocking me as a person, as it has as an artist.  The dynamic of the group experience is invaluable.  There is a deep sharing and trust that has grown over many weeks, and I am so grateful to have all these women in my life.  Merry has a natural gift for helping women open up to themselves and others.  I am so happy I have had the opportunity to take this workshop.  It is a true gift to oneself. - Robin Kelly

It's time to make a commitment to your Creative Self--the little girl inside who wants to come out and play.

Schedule

The Goddess and Angel workshop runs Friday evening, all day Saturday (as late as necessary!) and Sunday.

Friday evening is an introduction to the workshop. We get to know the other attendees, what to expect and learn a brief history of the Goddesses and Angels in history. We talk about the symbols of the Goddesses in religion and society and we discuss your individual goals for the workshop. After that you will be guided through a beautiful meditation that will prepare you for the workshop and your intention for your painting. This meditation is rich in Goddess and Angel imagery and is very relaxing and inspiring.

Saturday is full of painting, collage and collaborative, creative fun. As you create your Goddess/Angel you will go through a process of discovery that will empower and regenerate you on your journey.

Sunday is a time of celebration and finishing touches if necessary. We spend time processing what we learned and we share in your Goddess and Angel experience together as a group.

Feel free to fill in this form if you are interested in a workshop. We'll get back with you shortly.
