Ep 63: Book Talks: The Artists Way by Julia Cameron (Part 2) w/ Mandolyn Wilson Rosen

Pep Talks for Artists

We're back with Part 2 of our review of "The Artists Way" by Julia Cameron! In this half of our deep dive into the book, Mandolyn Wilson Rosen and I finish recounting our experiences following the program of this famous creativity self-help juggernaut.

Today in Part 2, we discuss:

1. Sychronicity & Carl Jung

2. Our personal artist dates

3. What writing the Morning Pages felt like

4. Things in The Artist's Way that we disliked

5. “Clusters” & those who charge to run AW groups

6. Amy's "The Artist's Way Cringe Corner™"

7. And more insights from Julia Cameron's autobiography: "Floor Sample."
