This course is for anyone wishing to expand a creative lifestyle. You don’t have to be a “declared” artist to enjoy this sequel to the popular class “The Artist’s Way” that OLLI offered earlier this year using the book by author Julia Cameron. We will use a more recent Cameron book. The class is oriented to those who are "transitioning into the second act of life – leaving one life behind, and heading into one yet to be created.” (Julia Cameron) We use tools of daily writing called "Morning Pages," solo walks twice a week, and an “artist’s date” with ourselves to explore a place or event on our own. We revisit our lives in the process.
