Published in 1992, The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron has withstood the test of time. Groups around the world still actively participate in her 12 week “Creative Recovery” journey, including Molly - who shares her experience of the process with us on the pod.
Modeled after 12 step recovery programs, Julia’s setup of the book, its various journal prompts and group ethos is a Presentation Thinking lesson in of itself.
And the takeaways for anyone—creatives, founders, marketers, or any combo of those things—go DEEP.
Find out about the benefits (and the annoyance) of Morning Pages, how to go on Artist Dates and what the hell a “Creativity Contract” is.
What’s in the Spice Cabinet?
- We’re so proud to tout that GhostRanch is nominated for the 23rd Annual Mira Awards honoring “Best in Tech” in Indiana!!! Look for our name under “Service Partner of the Year”. *blushes*
- Austin Kleon - Molly describes him as a “cool artist writer doodler guy.” If you’re looking for fun and inspiring and easy to skim content, his newsletter is A+, the books are fun as hell to “read” (tons of illustrations), and I’m sure his Patreon is worth the money.
- Where to find an Artist’s Way group of your own, you ask?
- Here’s a list of Meetups
- Online facilitator Collective Commons runs an ongoing group with a Slack channel!
- A Facebook group if that’s your digital community of choice
- LinkedIn (the German one seems bigger if you’re fluent!)
- Julia’s advice on starting a “Creative Cluster” to Do It Yourself!
- Her online video course is available HERE
Stay tuned for the PrezThinking version of this creative experience!!
