This eight-week week class meets on February 8, 15, 22, March 1, 8, 15, 22, 29.

Using the tools of The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, this class is an exploration of reconnecting with your creativity. Designed to help you identify and move through creative blocks, it offers a structured process for restoring curiosity, confidence, and creative flow through consistent, hands-on practice.

Facilitated by master acting teacher Lisa Berger, this eight-week course guides participants through the core principles of The Artist’s Way—including creative exercises, journaling (Morning Pages), and weekly Artist Dates. Each session combines discussion, reflection, and experiential work to help you quiet your inner critic, rediscover inspiration, and develop personal creative habits that last beyond the class.

Whether you’re returning to a creative practice or discovering one for the first time, this class provides a supportive and engaging space to explore your artistry, your voice, and your connection to imagination.
