Have you got your backpack packed and at the ready for your first jaunt into creative inspiration with Emilija and Jo?
This week they talk about what inspired them to embark on Julia Cameron’s ‘The Artist’s Way’, give their take on the first twenty five pages of the book and experiences of their creative journeys.
Listen to them discuss how they loved Julia’s ‘pearls of wisdom’, what they found inspirational in the book and what they observed whilst becoming aware of their creative senses.
Jo and Emilija want you to know that even though you might start the process with a veritable spring in your step and giddiness in your heart, it’s not all plain sailing. There will be moments on your journey of creative recovery when you might think, ‘this is too hard’, or ‘I hadn’t anticipated so much of what I had packed away in the ‘attic of childhood dreams’ to come out of hiding'. These forgotten dreams are not always a walk in the park BUT they might end up being just the wander you need to spark your creativity.
So, if you are thinking that you might like to discover and recover your creative self, this is the perfect opportunity for you to embark on that journey. And, should you want a creative companion, Jo and Emilija are very happy to be able to offer you their support in a number of ways: E-mail them to let them know what you are enjoying or indeed what you are struggling with (creative_wanderer@yahoo.com); follow them on Instagram (@cre8tive1derer) and share any pictures and quotes you have been inspired by or affirmations which resonate with you.
