✨✨Facilitated by Finn Miller and Hillary O’Dell✨✨

Time to start reading The Artist’s Way again… But plot twist: this time you’ll actually finish it!

In this guided reading group of Julia Cameron’s classic book The Artist’s Way. This course is ideal for long-practicing artists looking to overcome blocks or revive a “stale” practice or those just wanting to live a more creative life. The group is for anyone who has ever been curious about pursuing The Artist’s Way, whether you consider yourself an artist yet or not.

We will do an intake before we begin to get to know each other. Then each week will consist of a chapter discussion followed by a generative, crafty activity designed to prompt those creative juices to flow in all kinds of unexpected ways. We are open to the class flowing in different directions depending on the interests of the group.

🗓️ IRL Sessions: Thursdays 6:00pm-8:00pm Sep 10th - Dec 10th (we will be off Nov 26th)

This book is designed to be worked through week by week, so that’s the path we plan to follow. We recognize that life is busy and that you may need to miss a session or two. That’s why we’ve added extras like co-working and a virtual classroom where you will also receive a recap and light, low-stakes “homework” if you need to be absent.

Finn Miller

is an artist and educator based in Queens. Currently, she sustains her artistic practice working as an English professor at LaGuardia Community College.

Finn has taken the 12-step spiritual path to higher creativity twice now, so she knows that it works! The first time she completed it, she became a painter. The second time, she learned to sing. Both times, she became more confident, capable, and inspired by the world around her. What will she learn on the third go round? What will we discover together? 

You can find samples of her work and writing at www.finnmiller.net, or reach out with any questions or curiosities via email at finleymiller98@gmail.com.
