Welcome to my Notion Hub for the Artist’s Way, a 12-week, self-led guide to creative awakening! You should find this guide intuitive and at most, only require a few scrap papers for drawing some weeks. All your reading, tasks, and journaling needs are inside.
Everything that you find here is taken directly from Julia Cameron’s book, The Artist’s Way, and is not my own intellectual property.
The book is broken into weekly focuses, exercises, tasks, and check-ins. This guide is the same. The main components of the book (reading, tasks, exercises) are all here, grouped by week.
Before you get started on your journey, in the upper right corner select the duplicate symbol between the 🔍 and the … and duplicate the page. If you miss this step, you will not be able to use the workbook.
