Does what you’re doing make your heart sing? Try “The Artist’s Way” course with June Shatken, designed to rekindle creativity.
This 12-week workshop is based on the book “The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity” by Julia Cameron. Shatken, who is a Shelter Island-based artist and certified life coach, facilitates via Zoom. Register through October 15; the first session is October 21.
“This workshop will inspire and stimulate your creativity in countless ways,” Shatken says.
During the week participants read a chapter, respond to questions, and complete tasks “that focus on recovering and reconnecting with our innate creative energy.”
“Each chapter helps to identify what may be holding us back from fulfilling our potential or moving us forward,” says Shatken, who has provided workshops based on “The Artist’s Way” at the numerous venues.
“In our online group sessions, we will discuss our challenges and successes, resistance, and progress,” she says in the course materials. “By sharing our experiences we gain insights, have ‘aha’ moments, (inspiration) and mutual support.”
Whether you are an aspiring or established writer, artist, musician, poet, designer, gardener, photographer, feeling stuck, or wishing for something more, you will find inspiration and new perspectives in a safe, supportive group.
As the poet Danielle Doby says: “Quit hiding your magic. The world is ready for you!”
