Show Notes

In this episode, which originally aired in radio format on July 14th, 2022, I explore some of the ideas presented in the introductory chapters of The Artist's Way, which is both a book (1992) and a twelve-week course for "discovering and recovering your creative self." I will be making my way through the course, and in the next twelve episodes will reflect on my experience of doing the daily morning pages (that's three pages of longhand writing done upon first waking), the weekly artist date (taking myself on a solo outing that will somehow feed my creative spirit), and the various other tasks and exercises that Cameron provides in each week's chapter. Each of us humans is a creation of the Great Creator, and as such we are meant to create things ourselves. The Artist's Way, a "spiritual path to higher creativity," provides tools for allowing us to do just that.
