The Artist's Way Workshop begins February 2, 2026

"Mindy knows my work intimately and brings to it her own considerable creativity." – Julia Cameron

In 1988, I joined a small group of students in Julia Cameron’s tiny Victorian living room in Chicago, IL, for what was then called Healing the Artist Within (later The Artist’s Way). I had just stepped away from acting six weeks prior and was unsure what to do with the rest of my life. Those twelve weeks didn’t just transform my creative practice — they transformed how I approached my life as a whole.
Nearly 35 years later, I still practice these principles daily. My original copy of the first draft of The Artist’s Way (printed by Julia at Kinko’s) remains a touchstone for my ongoing journey.

About the Workshop
I began facilitating this work in 1992 at Julia Cameron’s suggestion and have since led it internationally, guiding students from a variety of backgrounds — actors, writers, teachers, corporate leaders, retirees, and students alike.

This workshop is not simply about following exercises in a book; it is a guided, relational experience. Working in a small group of just ten participants, you’ll receive support tailored both to your individual journey and the group as a whole.
​
Through the workshop, you’ll:

• Break through unconscious patterns that keep you stuck or repeating the same cycles
• Cultivate a new way of showing up for yourself and your creative life
• Strengthen your connection to your vision, your work, and, if you wish, your spiritual practice
• Receive guidance and accountability from someone who has walked this path for decades

Many students come to the workshop seeking structure and support, but leave having accessed new awareness, courage, and personal permission to pursue what they truly desire. The process can be challenging, activating self-sabotaging beliefs and hidden barriers — but it is exactly in navigating these moments that transformation happens.
In order to create the life you long for, your belief in that vision must become stronger than your belief in its impossibility. The workshop is designed as a moment-to-moment spiritual practice to help you cultivate that strength.

Why This Workshop is Different

• You do not need to be an artist. Participants come from all walks of life.
• The workshop combines exercises from the original book with customized practices that address the needs of the group and each individual.
• Small class size ensures intimacy, connection, and time to process insights in real time.
• This is a living, experiential encounter, not a self-guided reading. You’ll have guidance through the twists, resistance, and breakthroughs that inevitably arise.
