Who Can Use Walking in This World?
The twelve-week program is an empowering passage for aspiring and working artists in all mediums, fields, industries, disciplines, specialties, and genres.

Based entirely on Julia Cameron’s Walking in This World we will informally meet at Encore Rehearsal Studios and accomplish the interactive course that is dedicated to discovering and recovering your creative self.

Space is limited, so attendance and participation are at a premium.  In turn, the informal gathering is hands-on and each person will be expected to fully participate in the activities, which are fun, and engage in the discussions, which should be quite interesting and insightful for all involved.

As set forth by Julia Cameron there are now three basic “pivotal tools in creative recovery: morning pages, the artist date, and weekly walks:

The Morning Pages
“You will do the morning pages daily through all the weeks of the course and, I hope, much longer,” says Julia Cameron.  For our purposes, the morning pages are considered private and are only shared or referenced voluntarily.  In turn, Cameron confesses, “[m]orning pages do get us up the other side of our fear, of our negativity, or our moods.  Above all, they get up beyond our Censor.”

The Artist Date
“[A]n artist date is a block of time, perhaps two hours weekly, especially set aside and committed to nurturing your creative consciousness, your inner artist…You do not take anyone on this artist date but you,” instructs Julia Cameron.

Weekly Walks
“Walking in This World is intended as a gentle pilgrimage.  We will move issue to issue, walking and talking about the deeper concerns of our souls,” instructs Julia Cameron.

Required Material
