[This is a Virtual Ruby event, a 13-week discussion/accountability group that will meet virtually on Tuesdays. Zoom link to be emailed.]

The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity was created by artist and writer Julia Cameron more than 25 years ago to demystify the art of creation. The book posits that within every person is a source of creativity waiting to be unleashed.

As we usher in 2023, join us in a journey of spiritual and artistic renewal: a journey to reconnect with ourselves and overcome the mental blocks inhibiting our creative process. This group is for everyone, whether you are a writer, artist, designer, or simply someone looking to connect more deeply to your creative self. In a small group over the course of 13 weeks, we will meet online every Tuesday for 1.5 hours to share, listen, and support one another in our journeys. The intention of this creative cluster is to create a safe space for us to embark on creative recovery together, to be supported and encouraged so that no one feels alone during this isolating time.

Materials needed: A copy of The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron

• The Artist Date: a dedicated block of time to nurture your inner artist

• Meet with your creative cluster to share and listen
