📚 Book Review: The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron ✨

A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity

What if healing didn’t just mean feeling better—but expressing more? What if your path forward could be paved with paint, poetry, storytelling, gardening, or even the quiet ritual of a daily walk?

The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron is more than just a book—it’s a 12-week journey back to your creative self. Originally published in 1992, Cameron’s guide has become a beloved companion for those seeking not just artistic expression, but personal recovery, spiritual reconnection, and emotional freedom. Through tools like Morning Pages (a daily writing ritual) and Artist Dates (time set aside to creatively play), this book helps you recover your sense of self-worth and awaken your innate creativity.

But don’t let the word “artist” fool you. This isn’t just for painters or poets. Creativity is for everyone. Administrators, teachers, parents, public servants—we all use creative energy to navigate life, solve problems, and build meaning. Creativity is how we alchemize emotion. It’s how we make sense of grief, celebrate joy, and stay connected to what matters. At Taylor Healing Institute, we honor creativity as a powerful part of the healing process, and this book is one of our favorite tools for that work.

Whether you’re in a rut, recovering from trauma, or simply longing to reconnect with your sense of wonder—this book will meet you where you are. Add it to your personal library, or check it out at your local library*.

The Artist’s Way is one of the best-kept secrets on your healing journey.
