Finding Water - What is it?
As is the case with all of Julia Cameron’s books - it’s an invitation, a process and a means of creatively connecting to our wisdom and purpose.
Subtitled The Art of Perseverance this is the third book in her Artist’s Way series - following on from The Artist’s Way and Walking in This World.
Neither are prerequisites. It stands alone in introducing the basic tools and methodology.
Over the course of twelve weeks we’ll work together in “Uncovering” -
a Sense of Optimism
a Sense of Reality
a Sense of Support
a Sense of Balance
a Sense of Autonomy
a Sense of Resolve
a Sense of Resilience
a Sense of Truth
a Sense of Perspective
a Sense of Safety
a Sense of Discipline
a Sense of Perseverance
We’ll employ the time-tested & proven tools introduced nearly thirty years ago -
Morning Pages, a daily writing exercise
An Artist Date, a weekly time out - a play date for an hour or two
Walking, a twice weekly twenty-minute walk
“They are simple and repetitive” - said a critic who meant to disparage the tools.
Cameron counters that it’s precisely how they are meant to be, simple! "They are very potent. You can’t use them without having a spiritual breakthrough”
By exploring our insights in a 90-minute weekly group session, we will explore the patterns and habits which may have once served us well - but no longer do. In light of those insights and with the support of our peers, we will cultivate a heightened awareness, and develop new practices that will serve us moving forward.
We’re trading what were once survival skills for ‘thrival’ skills!
When we have completed our twelve week journey through Finding Water we will:
be consciously aware of our patterns, traps & triggers and how to avoid them
have clarity about choosing goals congruent with our values
recognize and become more confident in our ‘knowing’ - our inner wisdom
Most significantly, you will have learned to embrace the future confidently.
