The Artist's Way - online 13 week workshop 2026

Content from UpNext.com.au. Please don't scrape website.

For the first time, Miriam Hechtman and Vashti Whitfield, two long-time facilitators of creative excavation, expression and reconnection, come together to guide a small group through Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way.

This is a rare opportunity to sit in an intimate, live circle and explore your own creativity and feed it with intention, direction and discipline.

We'll be moving week by week through the original 12-week structure of Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way - a work that has helped millions reclaim their creative spark, with added layers of poetic inquiry, reflective conversation and expressive tools offered by Miriam and Vashti along the way.

We invite you to deliberately transform your relationship with the discipline of creativity - to reimagine how you define it, express it and harness it.

Not as something lofty or elusive, but as something essential, accessible, and ready to inspire every corner of your life.

As the year unfolds, this is the perfect time to integrate these practices.

Live via Zoom | Wednesdays | 7-9pm AEST

Spots are limited to 15.

This is a highly personalised, interactive group experience.

If it's calling, don't miss it.

The $1,500 AUD fee includes 13 x 2-hour live sessions via Zoom, creative facilitation, weekly invitations, and access to a deeply held and intentionally small group container.
