| Julia Cameron's book The Artist's Way has
influenced readers worldwide with her intriguing look at creativity and
her week-by-week presentation to unlock ideas and expression. In this
program, Cameron presents elements from the book organized around the
exercises and discussions of Week 1: "Morning Pages" and Week 7:
"Recovering a Sense of Connection." The program may best serve listeners
who are already familiar with Cameron's ideas. There's a sense of
reviewing familiar points in the selections. Cameron's soft, ethereal
voice moves slowly from passage to passage. The recording was made in
front of a small group at Cameron's mountain retreat. While an echo
indicates the vastness of the space, there's only occasional
participation from her companions. R.F.W. Reflections on The Artist's
Way, an earlier program, from Sounds True Audio is also available. (c)AudioFile,

With the basic principle that creative expression is the natural direction of
life, Julia Cameron and Mark Bryan lead you through a comprehensive twelve-week
program to recover your creativity from a variety of blocks, including limiting
beliefs, fear, self-sabotage, jealousy, guilt, addictions, and other inhibiting
forces, replacing them with artistic confidence and productivity.
This book links creativity to spirituality by showing how to connect with the
creative energies of the universe, and has, in the four years since its
publication, spawned a remarkable number of support groups for artists dedicated
to practicing the exercises it contains. --This text refers to an out of print

From Library Journal
This program consists of segments from the author's book of the same name (Tarcher,
1992). She recommends two ongoing activities that will conquer blocks and
self-destructive tendencies: morning pages and artist's dates. Morning pages are
three pages of writing, performed daily, about anything at all. This exercise
overcomes the writer's internal censor and makes writing habitual, she claims.
The artist's date is a weekly block of two hours spent observing, experiencing,
and sensing. The balance of the recording describes how the artist can overcome
human tendencies such as jealousy, fear, and addiction. This abridgment leaves
much to be desired. In her introduction, Cameron states that the audio is an
interactive abridgment of her 12-week program. There is nothing interactive
about it, however. The sound quality is poor, and the content is similar to the
many available 12-step programs. In that sense, it is redundant and will appeal
to a very small audience. Not recommended.?Joanna M. Burkhardt, Univ. of Rhode
