The Artist's Way in Midlife and Beyond Online - (enrollment is closed)

Are you entering, or in, your second half of life and asking, “now what?” Are you feeling a pull towards creativity? Or searching for new meaning and purpose? If so, join me once a month for the year of 2023. Let’s travel together on a journey aimed towards regaining our creative selves and making new meaning with our lives.

How it will work:

You purchase the book, It’s Never Too Late to Begin Again: Discovering Creativity and Meaning at Midlife and Beyond by Julia Cameron (an Artist’s Way program designed for those in midlife and beyond), and do the exercises she provides on your own, one chapter per month.

We will meet monthly to share what we are learning from the lessons and encourage each other to continue moving forward.

This book discussion will be facilitated by Susan Ernst, an artist who began her own creative journey at midlife.

We meet on the 3rd Thursday of each month from 2-4 p.m. Central time, beginning Feb 15th. Here’s the schedule:

Feb 15              Chapter 1 Reigniting a Sense of Wonder and Chapter 2 Reigniting a Sense of Freedom

Mar 21            Chapter 3 Reigniting a Sense of Connection

Apr 19             Chapter 4 Reigniting a Sense of Purpose

May 17            Chapter 5 Reigniting a Sense of Honesty

June 21            Chapter 6 Reigniting a Sense of Humility

July 19             Chapter 7 Reigniting a Sense of Resilience

Aug 16             Chapter 8 Reigniting a Sense of Joy

Sept 20            Chapter 9 Reigniting a Sense of Motion

Oct 18             Chapter 10 Reigniting a Sense of Vitality

Nov 15             Chapter 11 Reigniting a Sense of Adventure

Dec 20             Chapter 12 Reigniting a Sense of Faith

Cost: I am offering this at the suggested price of $60. I figure that’s about what a coffee would cost you each month if we were meeting at a cafe, and helps pay for my Zoom account. Any amount you pay is welcome. I want this to be accessible to anyone who is interested.
