'The book you hold in your hands is the distillate of a quarter
century's teaching. It is my attempt to answer, "What next?" for
students who are embarking on their "second act".' - Julia Cameron
Julia Cameron has inspired millions with her bestseller on
creativity, The Artist's Way. In The Artist's Way for Retirement,
she turns her eye to a segment of the population that, ironically,
while they have more time to be creative, are often reluctant or
intimidated by the creative process. Cameron shows readers that
retirement can, in fact, be the most rich, fulfilling and creative
time of our lives. When we retire, the newfound freedom can be
quite exciting, but also daunting. Julia guides readers through a
12-week course aimed at defining and creating the life you want to
have. This book includes simple tools that will guide and inspire
you to make the most of this time in your life, and includes
exercises such as: Memoir writing - an opportunity to reflect on
and honour past experiences. Morning Pages - a tool to empty your
mind and get focus and clarity for the day at hand. Artist Dates -
fun days out to discover new passions and interests, and to enjoy
something new and different. Solo Walks - peaceful time alone to
refresh the mind, relax the body and gain new energy and insights.
This fun, gentle, step-by-step process will help you explore your
dreams, wishes and desires - and help you quickly find that it's
never too late to discover creativity and meaning.
For years, Julia Cameron was asked by devotees of The Artist's Way
if she would consider writing a manual for children, so that they
too could experience the same transformative experience of
discovering their creativity. As her daughter begins to have
children herself, Julia turned back to her own techniques, and
those of her hundreds of clients, for how to bring about a more
open, creative, grounded childhood, one that leads to a fulfilled
adulthood. As Julia says, 'Parenting is a great adventure.
Awakening your child's sense of curiosity and wonder helps you to
awaken your own. Awakening your own sense of curiosity and wonder
helps you awaken your child's.' Julia Cameron's techniques for
creativity will quickly show you how: - Exercising creativity,
alone and together, strengthens the bond between parent and child -
How creativity can guide your child to an expansive and adventurous
life - How your child can learn to understand their emotions, spend
time playing away from screens, become more socially able and
independent
