Don’t Quit The Artist’s Way

A new class by Chelsea Hodson

What is this class?

Part class, part accountability group, part group coaching—author, publisher and writing coach Chelsea Hodson is here to make sure you actually show up for all twelve chapters of the iconic Julia Cameron book instead of just the first couple weeks (we’ve all been there, right?).

Beginning September 13, we’ll meet every Sunday to discuss one chapter of The Artist’s Way and explore its ideas together. We’ll talk about creative blocks, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, procrastination, jealousy, fear, self-doubt, the inner critic, attention, play, and what it means to build an artistic practice you can actually sustain. Disagreements with The Artist’s Way are also welcome—we’re only using it as a starting point for our creative processes and discussions.

I have the most experience working with writers, but artists of all mediums and experience levels are welcome to join this group. You only need a copy of the book, a notebook, and a willingness to try something new.

What’s included?

• Twelve live, hour-long Zoom meetings led by Chelsea Hodson

• Weekly discussion of each chapter of The Artist’s Way

• Support and accountability as you work through the book

• Space to discuss creative blocks, ask questions, and reflect on what the process is bringing up

• Recordings of every meeting for anyone unable to attend live
