The Artist's Way

A Course in Discovering and Recovering Creativity

A 13-Week Course to Discover and Recover your Creative Self.

SCHEDULE COMING SOON

Fee: $190.00 for 13 classes, includes a copy of best seller, The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, an all inclusive Hawkman Studios course binder and an 1 hour private, after class completion wrap-up. 

In this 13-week program you will be guided through a process of growth and be shown the tools to unblock your creative process, dismantle negative mythologies, discover your creative force, recognize self-destructive behaviors, and identify their own dreams while laying the foundation to accomplish them. Participants learn how to support and nurture themselves and surround yourself with others that will do the same! This 13-week course is filled with activities to open each participant's creative eye and demonstrate that they too have an inner artist that is yearning to be discovered and nurtured. This program is for people who want to write, paint, sing, draw, dance or act, just to name a few. In this program artists and non-artist alike dissolve blocks by the simple process of engaging in discovering and recovering their creative powers. You will begin to move through self-doubt, negative conditioning and self-destructive behavior and live a more creative, artistically true life.
