NOTICE: This Creative Cluster has filled. To ensure that everyone gets a chance to share at the table, we needed to close the group. Thank you for your interest! If nothing else, open your book and read a chapter a week and participate in spirit.


WHEN: Sundays, 1:30 pm from March 4 to May 20, 2018
WHERE: A Little Beacon Space, 291 Main St., First Floor, First Door, Beacon, NY
RSVP: This Creative Cluster has filled.

An Artist's Way group is being held at A Little Beacon Space on Sundays for the 12-week journey that Julia Cameron writes about and teaches via her classic book. This meeting time and space will be a gentle group, where people who are reading the book and going through their journey can share their thoughts and connect with others. The group serves as a connection point and hopes to foster creativity in all and nurture community. It will be lightly led by Katie Hellmuth Martin, or another person in the group over the 12 weeks.

The only requirements are these:

  • Book in hand: You have gotten your copy of The Artist's Way out of storage, and into your hands. You could go to Binnacle Books and have them order you a copy if you need to. The book in this picture was purchased at the pop-up flea at Create Space.

  • Pages: You have a new journal or stack of paper for which to write your Morning Pages. You can find journals at Play, Dream in Plastic, and Echo, and maybe Raven Rose and Lauren and Riley. Right here on Main Street Beacon. The journals in this picture were found at Play.

  • Non-artists welcome: In the words of Julia Cameron in the book:
    Julia: "I teach people to let themselves be creative."
    Person on the Street: "Oh. You mean we're all creative?"
    Julia: "Yes."
    So don't be shy. Come on by.

  • Life happens: The book is a 12-week journey. This creative cluster will meet at 1:30 pm every Sunday from March 4 to May 20. If you can't come to every meeting, that's OK. If you just heard about this, or decided mid-way in that you want to come to a meeting, that's OK.

  • Not a professional workshop of The Artist's Way: You may have taken workshops connected to this book before. This is the first time we are doing it, so it'll be free-form and will follow the Tasks and Check-Ins of the book. And that's about all we know!
