"The most engaging people are attracted to this Artist's Way group, with the aim of connecting to their creativity and to meet like-minded individuals. Everyone is creative and so many people long to express it, but procrastinate for a myriad of reasons," explains facilitator, Ann Ciccolella.

This series will help break down those barriers. Even if you have never done the "Artist's Way," you will learn to fuel your creativity and do what you have always wanted to do - release the power of your unique voice. If you have done the Artist's Way before, this class will serve a renewal of your Morning Pages, Artist's Dates and walking to discover inner passions and fears. Each session will continue activities that help to free yourself from jealousy, guilt and self-sabotage.

From one member: "I went on an 'Artist's Date' to see master violinists play Texas Swing, and decided to try it again, having loved it in college and given it up for more "serious" pursuits. Artist's Way convinced me to dare to be bad at it, and the group support helped me persevere. Only months later did I learn that my grandfather played jazz violin in the 1920's, only to give it up to raise a family, like I had given it up to go to law school. I'm determined to carry on the tradition in his honor and to have a lot of fun. You'll be amazed by what you discover on the Artist's Way."
