On this week’s episode of Creative Space, we’re diving into Chapter 9 of Julia Cameron’s seminal book on creativity, “The Artist’s Way.” The focus for this week is “Recovering a Sense of Compassion.”

There is so much to cover but there are three principles we’ll talk about: fear, enthusiasm, and creative u-turns.

One of my favorite quotes from this chapter: “A productive artist is quite often a happy person. This can be very threatening as a self-concept to those who are used to getting their needs met by being unhappy.”

If you’re interested in reading “The Artist’s Way” and/or following along with the podcast as you complete the work, you can purchase it here.
