Awakened Artist Path…
THE ARTIST’S WAY :
Wake up to the new you!
Are you wanting to create art this year, but struggling with fear and overwhelm and not sure where to even begin?
Maybe you're a devotee of The Artist’s Way, or maybe you only recently learned of it and are intrigued by Julia Cameron’s best-selling book.
(Or maybe it’s been sitting on your bookshelf for years and you're ready to dust it off.)
Here is the good news.
You're not alone…
The Artist's Way isn’t just for artists, it's for everyone — from working entrepreneurs to untapped creatives, to people just looking to make a meaningful shift in their life.
And it works!
Join us for a multi-week collective, through which we’ll use interactive, insightful exercises and tools to make creative breakthroughs and figure out what creatively living inside of you really means!
Struggle is the sign…
Successful artists and beginners all face the same challenges. We will use any excuse to keep from living a fulfilled creative life; we surround ourselves with drama and other people who keep our lives chaotic to blur the focus from ourselves and our work. We oversleep, overeat, over-read, watch too much television and spend too much time staring at our phones.
We BLOCK, BLOCK, BLOCK until we can find blame and justify our real fear of actually living a creative life. Our fear of appearing foolish stops us from producing work. Our perfectionist tendencies stop us from starting or finishing a project. The deep desire many of us have to become GREAT artists prevents us from becoming artists at all. Our central fear may be that it is too late and that our talent is gone. We will look for any way to stop the pain.
Sound Familiar…
What if I told you it could be different? What if you could stand tall and alive with purpose again? Awaken with a sense of clarity and be willing to open and begin.
This class, based on Julia Cameron's bestseller The Artist's Way, is your path back to the creativity you loved so long ago. It’s a path of recovery that brings you back to YOU.
Don’t do it alone.
“Many artists today know the importance of making art, but very few know how to develop that deeper intimacy to nourish their Artist Within. When we try to do it alone, we find ourselves stuck, and yet the magic happens when we do it in a collective.”
— TL Forsberg, Creativity Doula

One Final Thought
Coming out in our creative call is vulnerable and asks us to look at our blocks and shadow, and move into increased rightness. You don’t have to do it alone!
We heal our trauma when we are witnessed in a collective, and we find ourselves opening as we feel the possibility and connect to our creativity again.
The Artist’s Way: “Wake up to the new you!” is a six-week immersive workshop led by trauma-informed coach TL Forsberg. This transformative experience offers potent tools and practices to awaken creative energy, reignite passion, and unlock the artistry waiting in you.
TOPICS INCLUDE:
AWAKEN YOUR ARTIST WITHIN.
Recover your sense of possibility. As you begin to recognize, nurture, and protect your inner artist, you move from creative wounding into flow, from survival to self-expression.
LEARN THAT IT IS SAFE TO DREAM.
We like to pretend it is hard to follow our heart’s dream. The truth is, it’s difficult to avoid walking through the many creative doors that will open for us. Leap and the net will appear. As we clarify our perceptions, we lose our misconceptions. We arrive at clarity which creates change.
RECOGNIZING POSSIBILITIES.
As we gain strength, we free ourselves from our terrible fears of abandonment, and we can live with a greater degree of spontaneity. We are freed from our constant demand for reassurance, and others can love us back. You will discover that money worries are the ultimate creative block.
TRUSTING FROM WITHIN
Art is not about thinking something up. It’s the opposite: it’s about getting something down. Instead of reaching for inventions, we learn to listen.
PROTECTING YOUR NEWFOUND ARTIST
Blocked artists are not lazy, they’re blocked. Procrastination is not laziness, it’s fear. The need to be a great artist makes it hard to be an artist at all. Learn tools that involve taking creative risks, and these small risks teach you the courage that it takes to create.
AUTONOMY AS AN ARTIST
As an artist, self-respect comes from doing the work. Artists do not need to be rich, only richly supported. We kill parts of ourselves when we fail to nurture the Artist within.
The Artist’s Way…
The Artist’s Way is the antidote. It’s the sacred yes. The admission that your art matters.
That you are ready to receive the call.
The Artist’s Way is a deep dive into the collective question of:
How do we nourish & sustain ourselves as artists?
Can we receive the gift we have been asked to bring?
This class will ask you to fully claim your Artist within.
Be a part of a group and say yes to growth.
Can you receive it?
WHY AWAKEN?
Creativity Is the Revolution…
The world is unraveling. And you — artist, visionary, shapeshifter — are being called forward.
Not to fix what’s broken, but to birth what’s next.
Not to shrink, but to unleash.
Brené Brown said it best:
“Unused creativity is not benign. It metastasizes into grief, rage, shame.”
When we don’t create, we suffer. When we betray our creative pulse, we betray ourselves. And the world suffers too, starved of the beauty, truth, and disruption only you can bring.
The Artist’s Way isn’t just a workbook.
It’s a sacred rebellion.
A portal back to your body, your voice, your divine knowing.
A place to recover the parts of you silenced by fear, perfectionism, and survival.
This is Erotic Recovery.
This is Creative Alchemy.
This is your chance to say:
YES to your longing.
YES to your sacred mess.
YES to the art that wants to come through you.
To unleash is to remember:
Your creativity is not indulgent — it’s essential.
Your expression is not extra — it’s everything.
Your voice is not just welcome — it’s necessary.
Join us. Open the door. And let the revolution begin from within.
In The Artist’s Way you will learn to:
Learn to work with your Inner Critic
Be witnessed in community — Don’t do it alone!
Accountability and Action
Gain Ignition & Power
Heal Limiting Beliefs & Claim Wholeness
Sustained Practices for Self Care
Co-regulate your Nervous System through the Collective
Group Support to Keep Going!
It’s time to say YES to nourishing your ARTIST WITHIN.
