Julia Cameron shares a new source of creative guidance in this 6 Week Artist's Way Program
Author Julia Cameron changed the way the world thinks about creativity when she first published The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity. Over five million copies later, Cameron now focuses her attention on prayer, which she believes is a key facet of the creative life. In Seeking Wisdom, a 6 Week Artist's Way Program, readers will learn to look beyond themselves.
Cameron shares a routine of prayer that goes further than traditional religious practices, welcoming readers regardless of their beliefs and backgrounds. As you journey through each week of the program you'll explore prayers of petition, gratitude, creativity, and more. Along the way, the three beloved tools of The Artist's Way--Morning Pages, Artist Dates, and Walks--provide a proven, sturdy framework for growth and development. Cameron also introduces a brand new fourth tool, Writing Out Guidance, which she hopes will become a powerful practice for countless creatives.
Seeking Wisdom is an exciting invitation to step into a new dimension of creative practice.
Review
"In Seeking Wisdom, the prolific Julia Cameron continues her work as a masterful guide, offering a path of creative recovery by asking us to personalize our sense of God through our own intimate practice of prayer. Both grounded and innovative, this book casts writing as praying on the page to everything larger than us. Bring your whole self to the journey of this book and you will touch the eternal link between creativity and spirituality. This book will help you come alive. It will help you play your instrument and sing your song." Mark Nepo, author of The Book of Soul and Finding Inner Courage
Review
"Julia Cameron's new book, Seeking Wisdom, carries on the author's tradition of magically changing lives, hearts, habits and attitudes. Julia writes about her own life and about writing and living and in this six-week guide to contemplation, prayer and seeking the living presence, Julia does again what she has done since writing the Artist's Way — she leads us into the real questions and answers that lie in our path and points to contemplation of the Higher Power in our creative inner lives and points us to the spiritual approach — prayer, work, writing, and living. A master of her craft of giving to others what her inner guides have taught her, I promise you will come away from reading her new book, as I did, with renewed creative zest and energy, as well as insight into your own spiritual possibilities as a creative person. Get this book — Seeking Wisdom; it holds magical wisdom and genuine truth." Judy Collins, Singer, Songwriter, Author
