THE ARTIST’S WAY

The Artist’s Way is a program of creative recovery.

Written by Julia Cameron, the Artist’s Way is a tried and true tool that has helped countless people find flow, success and prosperity in their art forms and their lives.

The basic premise of the Artist’s Way is:

All of life is creative energy, and our task is to let it flow freely through us. This creative energy is divine in nature, and in following our creative dreams, we are embracing our own divinity. With this comes ease, joy, and abundance.

Because all people are innately creative, the Artist’s Way is a tool for everyone. It works for writers, painters, crafters, musicians, as well as people who see their entire life as their art.

In these 12 weeks we will:

*Dream our biggest dreams and anchor our hearts’ desires

*Uncover and release creative blocks

* Cultivate clarity and direction

*Reignite long lost creative sparks

*Connect with Source

*Connect with like-minded women

*Participate in a container of intention, love, safety, presence, vulnerability, and authenticity

The Details

We will meet weekly on Sundays from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.

We will have 14 calls in total, beginning on September 8th, and concluding on December 8th.

We will have a group check-in call once a week via zoom. This will be a time to share, connect, and be witnessed. These calls will be the foundation of our sacred container - they will be our weekly women’s circle, in which we will ground, open our hearts, and each take a turn to share about our process.

We will also have a group thread so that we can connect throughout each week and share our unfolding process. On this thread, Anna Grace will send daily inspiration, as well as weekly voice recordings about each chapter.

You will have the option of four one-on-one check-ins with Anna Grace throughout the journey. This is a way to receive support, guidance, and loving presence as you go through this process. If you would like this support, make sure to choose this add-on.

The Artist’s Way entails:

• Writing morning pages every day - 3 pages of handwritten stream of consciousness writing

• Going on a weekly Artist Date - this is a time to do something that delights you

• Reading each week’s chapter

• Doing each week’s exercises (mostly writing prompts)

• Writing a brief weekly check-in

• Participating in each week’s group call

What you will need:

• A copy of The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron

• A journal

Why This Group? 

You can always follow the Artist's Way on your own and many people do.

But to share this process with a small group of women can facilitate a more profound and transformative experience for you.

Because this process is about uncovering and unleashing your creativity and artistic expression; expression that is our deepest offering to ourselves and each other and is meant--and needed--to be shared with family, friends, community and the human family to deepen our bonds of love and joy. 

To walk the Artist's Way with a small, sharing group, will help prepare and strengthen your courage for sharing your creativity with the world gathered around you.

What Women Are Saying

“I too, am so deeply grateful for the Artists Way.  It was a profound portal of reflection in sharing that I looked forward to each week - and I learned more than expected through everyone else's process as well.   I've actually just recently started the morning pages again with my tea (I fell off for a while!) and then sense of LIGHT, SPACE, and CLARITY in my head for the rest of the day is felt! 

“And can you believe this…..the 'dream' (that was a continuous exercise of unfiltered dreaming) is HAPPENING!   I moved to ojai and am designing homes from sweet artifacts from around the world. Literally, in less than two years, it is a reality. I am so appreciative of the support, the encouragement and the container that you held. I will forever be grateful and can't recommend this enough to others.”

“I joined Anna Grace's Artist's Way group in 2022 and loved being supported by a community of women! It was my first time working through The Artist's Way and I more than likely would not have completed it or had the same type of experience doing it on my own. Truthfully, gathering and sharing with other inspiring women was the highlight of the journey itself. It was so encouraging, with felt sparks of remembrance, guidance, and camaraderie through the months. This is the power of women gathering in a held container! I was truly brought to tears watching each and every one of us see our intentions, dreams, and manifestations come alive through the process. Thank you Anna!

“I have had the honor of sitting in circle and co-creating  sacred, women’s centered community with Anna this past year and feel so grateful this special soul has entered my life. I’m constantly learning from simply observing her. She has such a graceful,  calming, loving and curious presence that  constantly leaves me in awe and feeling so grounded and full.  Her ability to hold sacred space for women in our community to authentically express themselves and grow deeper in sisterhood is truly special. Anyone who has the opportunity to be led by Anna in any capacity should truly count their blessings, because humans like her don’t cross our path’s often.”

“Working through the Artist's Way is the process of re-mothering yourself; of returning to the seedbed of innate wonder and creativity you carried as a child, and training yourself now, through 12 weeks of guided practice, to release the personal and cultural restraints that have held you back from giving full and powerful voice to the dreams and visions that still percolate within you.  It is a process of deep tenderness and kindness to yourself, and to each person you share the journey with in support.

“Anna Grace is remarkably well suited and trained to guide individuals and a group of women through the process of artistic re-mothering.  She is meticulously organized and reliably accountable in time, so that you can relax into your exploratory process without worrying about the logistics of how it's working.  Through her Waldorf early childhood work she has developed a deep ease and playful intelligence for nurturing the creative unfolding and exploration of young children--the very being within that you will be uncovering and shepherding into creative expression through the Artist's Way.”
