NEW THIS FALL:
Two private 30-minute coaching sessions with Tabetha included; one before the group begins and one after it ends.
“I used to be creative. What happened?”
Life got busy. You got busy taking care of everyone else. Maybe someone criticized your work. Maybe perfectionism took over. Maybe you simply stopped making time for the things that once made you feel like yourself.
And somewhere along the way, your creativity got pushed to the side.
The good news? You don't have to find your way back alone.
This experience is for you if...
You want to reconnect with your creativity, but aren't sure where to start.
You feel drawn to art or creativity, but fear, self-doubt, or perfectionism keeps getting in the way.
You're curious about The Artist's Way and want support as you explore where your creativity might lead.
You don't need to think of yourself as an artist.
You don't need to be “good” at art.
You just need a little curiosity and a willingness to begin.
What if creativity could change more than your art?
The Artist's Way isn't really about making better paintings, writing better stories, or becoming a more productive creative person.
It's about paying attention.
As we work through Julia Cameron's book together, we'll explore the ways fear, perfectionism, self-doubt, old stories, and the expectations of other people can affect our creativity and our lives.
You'll have opportunities to experiment, reflect, make art, write, play, notice, and try things differently.
And you may be surprised by what you discover.
This time, we're going a little deeper.
This isn't just a book study.
For this upcoming cohort, I'm adding two private coaching sessions to your experience so that you have individual support at both ends of your Artist's Way journey.
Before We Begin: Your Creative Intention Session
We'll meet privately for 30 minutes before the group begins.
We'll talk about where you are in your creative life, what's getting in your way, and what you'd like to explore or change during our 14 weeks together.
During the 14 Weeks: Group Coaching + Creative Exploration
We'll meet weekly on Zoom to work through The Artist's Way together, with creative exercises, reflection, conversation, coaching, and accountability.
And because there are only 8 people in the group, I'll have the opportunity to really get to know you and support you along the way.
When We Finish: Your Creative Reflection Session
We'll meet privately again for 30 minutes to look back at where you started, what you've discovered, and how you want to continue nurturing your creativity after the group ends.
You begin with an intention. You spend 14 weeks exploring. And you finish with a chance to reflect on where you've been and where you want to go next.
The Artist's Way gives us the framework.
I'll help you put it into practice.
What we'll actually do
Each week you'll...
READ
A section of The Artist's Way to explore.
REFLECT
Morning Pages, journaling prompts, and questions to help you notice what's coming up.
CREATE
Simple, playful art and creativity exercises. No fancy supplies required.
CONNECT
A live Zoom session where we'll talk, create, ask questions, and support one another.
EXPLORE
We'll look at what you're discovering and how it connects to your
creative life — and sometimes the rest of your life, too.

14 weeks total
After more than a decade leading Artist Way groups, I found it best to start slowly. The week before the first Zoom session we settle in and get our footing as we set out on our journey. There will be a bit of reading to do, and optional art projects to get you creating right away (don’t worry, they’re easy and fun!)
Then we get started with our first Zoom session on October 14
which is called Week Zero.
After that we read and discuss a chapter a week.
*No Zoom session on November 25, December 23, 30.

What makes this different?
More than a book study, and more than a creative circle
There are lots of ways to work through The Artist's Way. You can read the book on your own, listen to the audiobook, or join a book discussion.
This is different.
I'm not just there to discuss the book with you. I'm there to guide and coach you through the process.
With a maximum of eight participants, you'll get the benefit of a small, supportive group plus individual time with me before and after the program.
We'll explore not only what Julia Cameron writes, but what you are discovering along the way — and how those discoveries connect to your creativity and your life.
You don't have to be an artist to join.
You might paint.
You might write.
You might make music, dance, garden, cook, photograph, sew, design, build things — or have absolutely no idea what your creative thing is yet.
That's okay.
We'll use visual art and art journaling because they're wonderful ways to get out of your head and into the creative process.
But this isn't a painting class.
And you don't have to make “good” art.
You just have to show up and make your art.
“Don't think you're creative? Neither did I.”
Meet Your Guide
I'm a teaching artist and creativity coach, and I've been guiding people through The Artist's Way since 2010.
For years, I told people — and myself — that I wasn't creative.
Then I inherited my sister's paints after she died, and something changed. I began painting through my grief, and eventually discovered how deeply creativity could affect the rest of my life.
I've been creating and teaching ever since.
Now I help other people reconnect with the creative part of themselves — especially the part that may have gotten buried under perfectionism, fear, responsibilities, and the busy-ness of life.
Creativity is something we’re all born with—we are creative beings. It’s in our genes. Sometimes we just forget, and I’m here to help you remember. I’m here to help you practice creativity, nurture creativity, and come back to your creative, curious self.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to read the whole book before we start?
No! We'll begin together. You'll want to have your own copy of The Artist's Way, but you don't need to have read ahead.
What if I've read The Artist's Way before?
Wonderful! You may discover completely different things the second time around. I'll also encourage you to approach the book from a fresh perspective.
What if I'm not an artist?
You're exactly where you need to be. This isn't an art technique class. It's about creativity and what happens when we give ourselves permission to explore it.
How much time will I need each week?
There is weekly reading and creative practice, including Morning Pages and an Artist Date. You don't have to do everything perfectly. I'll help you find a rhythm that works for you.
What if I can't attend every Zoom session?
Life is busy, and things come up. If you have to miss a class or two, I just ask that you read the chapter and do the homework. (And you can watch the class replay video.)
Is this therapy?
No. This is a creative coaching and group learning experience. We'll explore creativity, self-expression, and personal growth, but it isn't therapy or a substitute for mental health care.
What if I have questions before I sign up
I'd be happy to talk with you.

Supplies
Must-Haves
Acrylic paints or Watercolor paints
Writing journal for daily morning pages. I suggest a plain old spiral notebook.
* Please make sure you have/get “The Artist’s Way A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity” or “The Artist’s Way A Course in Discovering and Recovering your Creative Self”.
There are many printings of this book, all with different covers! Three of the most common covers are pictured here.
(There are many other books and products with The Artist’s Way name on it; such as “The Artist’s Way Morning Pages Journal” or “The Artist’s Way Workbook”, and you don’t need any of those.)
I strongly recommend the physical book, not the audio book. If you choose to get the audiobook, make sure you get the longer version. There are two versions, and one of them skips large chunks of the book. 🤷🏻♀️
I encourage you to get out and support your local small business art supply store and bookseller if you can find them! If you don’t have any near you, or prefer to order your supplies online, I am an Amazon affiliate, and may receive a small commission from the links above. Thank you for supporting this artist!
**Regarding paint brushes: the brands and brush sizes are not important: if you already have acrylic paint and brushes, feel free to use those!
Optional (Pick and Choose)
This is a course about creativity, and often I will suggest you use supplies that are calling to you. These are some of the additional art supplies that I tend to use in this course, you are free to use some of these, or whatever else you feel like using.
Collage materials:
paper scraps from magazines, free publications and junk mail (to name a few)
Something to glue the paper down: I use glue sticks, matte medium, or gel medium (you can even use Elmer’s glue.)
Scissors
Other supplies you might want to use if you’ve got them: colored pencils, pens, markers, watercolors.
