Creative Workshop Coming

THE ARTIST’S WAY CLASS (12 weeks)
With Kate Gavigan and Carol Battistoni

The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron is an international bestseller on the subject of creativity. This book and workshop can be an incredibly useful resource to tap into your creative side, which can benefit you professionally and personally.

The class will take students through the 12 chapters with an emphasis on the accompanying chapter exercises.  Julia Cameron uses 3 basic tools for students to enhance their lives and their creativity:  1) morning pages (writing 3 pages longhand of stream of consciousness writing), artist’s dates (solo fun dates with yourself) and completing creativity exercises at the back of each chapter. To quote Julia, “In order to retrieve your creativity, you need to find it.”  The basic tools and the additional creativity exercises that we incorporate into the 12 week course will help you do just that.

May 10 – August 2      
$275
Mondays, 6 – 8 p.m.    
Class will be held at Carol Battistoni’s office in Wallingford:  4010 Stone Way North, Suite 200. Students are responsible for purchasing their own Artist’s Way book.

Note: Due to the summer schedule and the length of the class, it is not unusual for students to have to miss a few classes. The instructors provide detailed notes and follow up conversations to update students on any missed classes.

“Helped me get “unstuck” and on track in my creative ambitions” -Past Artist’s Way Student

Kate Gavigan is passionate about The Artist’s Way having personally experienced the benefits of the materials. Kate worked in social services as a trainer for over 10 years when she found herself drawn to the material in The Artist’s Way, which helped her uncover a passion for theatre and marketing the arts. She credits her mid-life career change (now working at her dream job as a PR Manager at a theater) to having gone through The Artist’s Way.

Carol Battistoni studied art as an undergraduate which helped her to realize the importance of art and self expression to the human psyche. Carol’s undergraduate experiences lead her to studying counseling psychology and expressive arts therapy. She has an M.A. in Psychology from Antioch University Seattle and is currently practicing as a Psychotherapist in Seattle and continues to explore the process of making art as a vehicle to knowing oneself more intimately.
