Creativity: Creative Education Books

Even though "The Artist Way," by Julia Cameron was published a few years ago, we continue to highly recommend this book as one of our all time favorite creative education books. The process one undertakes in this transformational book works best with a support group. We found that following the full 12 week course may be difficult for some because the process in the book slowly digs deep into our creative psychology. The outcome of the course is well worth the self awareness journey. However, sometimes individuals find it difficult to see the forest for the trees and loose interest in the process if they are working through the exercises on their own. That's why this creative book works best when shared in a support group or done with a friend. The shared goal allows each to coach one another through the process.

The journey is well worth it. The twelve weeks are a catalyst for stimulating life changes. Most people will never see the world quite the same way as before they started this educational book. There is an amazing freeing up that takes place of creative energy. Life choices suddenly become much easier, and more creative. We facilitated several different groups of people through the twelve week process that The Artist Way outlines. The results for each person was highly beneficial and life changing. We saw budding artists blossom, love relationships transform, spiritual healings take place as people got in touch with their creative essence. The book isn't just for artists either, and anyone would benefit from the exercises outlined in the book.

The subtle excavation of this creative education book creates a very safe space for personal exploration. It incorporates a journeling exercise, which Julia Cameron calls "morning pages". In itself, learning the value of journeling and the mental and emotional freedom that comes from the morning pages technique is well worth the cost of the book. If you want to free up your creative energy or discover the dormant creativity that you didn't know you had, pick up the book and start today. If you are just wishing to make some life changes, you will gather insight and find inner strength to follow your bliss.
