Join Us for a Transformative Journey: Awaken Your Creative Spirit

Are you ready to turn inspiration into action and engage deeply in a journey of self-discovery? Join a close-knit circle of vibrant women for a 13-week exploration based on the transformative principles of The Artist’s Way book. This guided experience blends mindfulness, creativity, and personal growth into a supportive space where you can connect, reflect, and thrive.

 A decade ago, I found this book that felt like a promise. I bought copies for myself and a few friends, slipped them onto my shelf, and then left them unread. I knew it demanded more than skimmed pages — it needed a disciplined and honest practice. Reading would be the easy part; the real work would be waking earlier for morning pages (journaling), carving out two-hour weekly solo excursions to follow urges and passions, and a willingness to be with the messy emotions that come from moving beyond my edge.

As a Certified Professional Coach and somatic practitioner, I’ve spent years guiding people toward fuller lives: helping them move, make choices, and create more of what they long for. Still, I wondered if I could bring that work together with the promise of this book — could I braid pragmatic transformation with higher creativity?

On my 55th birthday, my soul sister Justine gave me a well-loved copy with the inscription:

“Elaine, Happy Birthday. May this book change your direction, and creativity.

Love, Paula.” 

Dated October 3, 1995.

Justine wrote to me then:

“This copy needed the Right Home. It represents the love, friendship, and sisterhood between my mum and her best friend of over 60 years… the pages are already magic. But this connection adds extra sparkle… I can’t wait to go on this creative journey with you. Big love, Justine.”

Years passed. The book waited. The ideas settled into me like seeds. I imagined a practice that married my coaching with the book’s disciplines: morning pages as mind–body check-ins; weekly solo excursions as somatic laboratories tuned to the resonance of our body wisdom; coaching structures to hold commitment and witness growth. The thought of guiding others — and myself — through that alchemy feels inevitable.

Now, Justine is asking when we can begin. 2026 is an open door. It feels right: a spring season of gathering, reflection, and new intentions. The book that waited found its time: not just to be read, but to be lived.

If you’re ready to make meaningful change and engage fully in first-draft work with an intimate circle of like-minded women, this is for you. I am welcoming eight smart, capable, and fun women to join a guided 13-week journey of creativity and self-discovery. Accept this invitation only if you’re ready to commit to real shifts in your life.

What we’ll be up to:

Program Length: 13 weeks (Intro session + 12 weekly sessions).
Starts Wednesday 4th March. Ends Wednesday 13th May.

Before our first meeting, you’ll receive a copy of the book and be asked to read the Introduction, The Basic Principles, The Basic Tools, and sign the book contract.

Weekly community gatherings on Zoom: Wednesdays, 6:30–8:00 PM (EST) for connection, reflection, and supportive discussion. Bring a mug of hot tea, a cozy blanket and maybe even light a candle for our weekly ritual.

• Read one chapter each week from The Artist’s Way and complete end of chapter exercises.

• Daily morning journaling to access your inner wisdom.
• A weekly Artist Date — a two-hour solo excursion to follow your curiosity and nourish your creative self (no partners, friends, or children).
• Themes include Safety, Identity, Power, Integrity, Possibility, Self-Protection, and Autonomy.

What you'll experience along this journey:

• More life force and clarity.
• Better access to what matters most to you and practical support to move toward it.
• A private, compassionate group to encourage and hold accountability. 

• I’ll bring my experience as a Certified Professional Coach and somatic practitioner to guide reflective exercises, accountability, and next-step planning.

• Optional: one 1-hour somatic bodywork session (in person or online). 

Investment: CAD $750 + tax
