This is for you if:
You feel creatively blocked, burnt out, or disconnected, and want a gentle way back
You long for creativity that feels restorative rather than extractive
You’re willing to show up imperfectly, and at a pace that’s best for you
You want support, accountability, and encouragement around softening outdated inner narratives and stepping more into your embodied power
You’re open to play, curiosity, and courageously rediscovering joy in your creative life
This IS NOT for you if:
You need creativity to be high-output, hustle-driven, or results-only
You’re not ready to slow down, listen, or work with resistance when it comes up
You want rigid rules, grades, or external pressure to “perform”
You’re unwilling to make space for the possibility of a deeper connection to your inner creative life.
You don’t wanna have a good time!!!

Yes!! This group is open to people who are brand new to this work, seasoned participants, and fellow coaches/ practitioners who share my interest in exploring this work in community, and observing what it is about this work that’s so effective.
-
One of my aims for this experience is for people to feel free to question, explore, and redefine what “artist” actually means! You don’t need any previous “art” experience to find deep engagement and inspiration within this work.
The Artist’s Way is about reclaiming your innate creativity—not earning a title or proving talent. Many participants arrive believing they’re “not creative,” “out of practice,” or “not artistic enough,” and discover that creativity was never missing—only waiting for permission and space to return.
-
NOPE! This is a creative recovery process, not a religious program. Participants come from a wide range of spiritual, secular, and questioning backgrounds. You’re free and encouraged to engage with the practices using language and metaphors that align with your own values and lived experience.
If you have willingness and an open mind, you’ll do just fine- and you’ll have a lot of good times along the way :)
-
Calls will be available for replay through a private link throughout the duration of the 13 week program. The magic of these experiences is truly in the people who shoe up and in the group sharing - the container is here to hold you!
-
You probably know that answer better than I :) but something I have observed is a lot of folks end up wishing they had a physical copy, and wanting to highlight and mark up the margins. Here’s an affiliate link to purchase your own copy if you’re inspired to do so :)
-
This may be the last The Artist’s Way Group I run, as new group initiatives and classes are on the horizon.
-
Space is limited, but get a friend to register to join you and receive a $20 credit that you can use towards a purchase in my online store.
About your Guide
As a creativity coach, yoga teacher, & meditation guide since 2016, a 16-year professional artist, and author/artist of the sold-out E M E R G E N C E Oracle Deck, Joanna has been exploring and embodying the principles of The Artist’s Way over the last 12 years, and continues to be amazed by what emerges when this life-changing material is shared in community.
She attributes tools from this book, combined with the power of community, to much of what has helped foster and nourish her own creative emergence through every major life transition and creative birthing. She continues to find value and impact in fostering online and in-person containers that support creative recovery and soul emergence through the simple 12-step framework provided in Julia Cameron’s bestselling The Artist’s Way.
Each cohort is unique, emergent, and adaptive to the specific needs of the group. The tools and structure of the book, which has stood the test of time for over 30 years, provides a shared framework for growth and learning - individually and collectively.
As an enthusiastic advocate of Artist Dates as a form of Soul Stewardship, and Morning Pages as a powerful practice for cultivating inner listening, Joanna weaves her interests in dreamwork, astrology, animism, depth psychology, and IFS/parts work into facilitated group discussions, alongside her background in emergent leadership, life coaching, & embodiment practices.
The Artist’s Way in Joanna’s creative life
Joanna recently reflected on her very first experience with The Artist’s Way and the power of creative community in A Geography of Nourishment.
She has been repurposing some of her earliest morning page journals into new materials since 2023, thanks to a magical artist residency with Seeing With Your Heart and Seastone Papers on Martha’s Vineyard,
