Recovering a Sense of Identity — Protecting my inner artist and finding my tribe
This week, I learn to claim creative sovereignty and protect my time. It's Gatekeeping 101, as I pick and choose who has access to my creative kingdom. After all, my inner artist is delicate soul in need of protection.
And your is, too.
My Artist's Way Journey
It's been six years since I completed Julia Cameron's 12-Week course in creativity, called The Artist's Way. What started out as a fun way to pass the time during lockdown turned into so much more. As the seriousness of the pandemic started to unfold, so did the seismic changes in my personal life.
My 12-part series on Medium tracks my journey through The Artist's Way, and how it helped me get through one of the most challenging times of my life.
If you've done The Artist's Way, or are thinking about trying it, come with me as I look back on my journey through The Artist's Way.
