Curious about finding your creative self? Julia Cameron believes that we are all creative spirits.  Using her classic book, The Artist’s Way A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity, and other techniques, this workshop will explore how to find our inner creative spirit and that it matters, whether by writing a poem, a short story or by painting, drawing, or music. Using principles and tools found in The Artist’s Way, this workshop is led by local artist, photographer, author, poet Barbara D. Hall.  For more information about her, visit her website at
