how it started —

When I first read this Julia Cameron profile in the NYTimes in 2019, I was immediately drawn to her approach to life. I was an executive director and very part time potter and I felt myself reaching a breaking point. I walked to Longfellow Books and bought the book and powered through the first chunk alone, finding myself overwhelmed and a little lonely. My morning pages began to feel like marathon prep. I felt like I was seeing my life from a whole new perspective, and I felt like a crazy person explaining it to my friends. I needed a study group. I needed a book club! So, I started this one. One where we can hold each other accountable, inspire each other to show up for ourselves, and laugh in the face of the discomfort of uncovering + confronting our blocks.

Now it’s 6 years later, and we’ve done it 5 times. We’ve witnessed changes a transformations both small and large. And now we’re going to do it again! I hope you'll join! Whether it's your first time or your fifth, it’s never a bad time to explore our creative identities and take ourselves on some artist date’s along the way :)

We get going 9/15. Grab yourself a copy, get a good pen and fresh notebook + I’ll see you there :)

what it’s all about —

weekly monday night zoom calls

every week for about 90 minutes we’ll break down the chapter and discuss our main takeaways from the reading + tasks, outlining ways we related and how we can integrate our newfound wisdom into the flow of our lives.

group chat accountability

  • daily morning pages check ins

  • mid-week task check ins

  • artist date ideas

  • general chit chat about all things living in creative flow :)

a very optional creative retreat

in the works for January 2026. more info to come!

FAQs

  • Listening to the reading is totally fine, but I highly recommend a physical copy for marking up and following along with the weekly tasks.

  • Absolutely! We’re going back to Zoom + anyone is welcome to join. Just note all meeting times are PST!

  • This book club is for everyone, not just working artists or full time creatives! Everyone is an artist! It’s all about how you live. This book is a road map to getting there.

  • The goal of book club is to provide encouragement in showing up for ourselves. Meetings are not required, but I’d highly recommend you honor this commitment to yourself and keep up with reading and tasks. We want to balance self discipline with being gentle with ourselves.
