Join us for Week 2 of the Artists Way as we share our highs and lows working through the much acclaimed book by Julia Cameron. 

This week we discuss our artists dates and morning pages (well, morning-ish pages for Rua), and delve into the topic of "Recovering a Sense of Identity". We cover what we've learned about our own behaviours around poisonous playmates, crazy-makers and try the concept of "going sane."

Are we better people yet? Does Hells cry for the third week in a row? You're going to need to tune in to find out.. x

Tune in to hear our take on Week 1 of the Artists Way, a 12 week program created by Julia Cameron. We embraced this week with excitement (and a healthy dose of optimistic skepticism) hoping to have some epiphanies and we were not disappointed!

This week had the highs and lows we were promised in the introduction and had us at times questioning everything we thought we knew, with several revelations and breakthroughs, wonderful! 

Tune in to hear our experience and we hope others feel inspired to give it a go themselves, the more creativity in the world, the better.

Have you heard of the much acclaimed book, The Artists Way? Join us on a 12-week adventure inspired by Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way." 

We (Rua and Hells, hi!) are two artistic creatives based in London, and we're inviting you to embark with us on a journey to confront our artistic blocks and rediscover our creative passions.

From music and DJing to painting, our artistic expressions are as diverse as our approaches to this process, with one of us diving in with an open mind and the other seeking more structure. Despite our initial skepticism, especially regarding the book's spiritual elements, we're excited to see where this path might lead.

In this introductory episode we take a humorous yet thoughtful look at unconventional spiritual ceremonies, like cacao rituals and quirky "symbol" ceremonies (was someone winding Hells up?), which reveal our differing views on how such experiences influence creativity. Our discussions take us back to our childhood selves, prompting a heartwarming and unexpectedly tearful reflection on the creative spirit we left behind, and our determination to reconnect with it.

This episode also introduces the practical tools of morning pages and artist dates, integral elements of Cameron's teachings. We candidly discuss our struggles with consistency, affirmations, and confronting negative thoughts, while sharing the joy of artist dates that spark inspiration, like sound baths and creative studio detours. As we plan our weekly tasks, including "time travel" exercises and imagining alternative lives, we encourage our listeners to join us in this transformative journey. Connect with us on Instagram, share your thoughts, and let's embrace the creative awakening together.
