Happy (almost) New Year!

I’m thrilled to invite you to join our upcoming The Artist’s Way book club! This 12-week journey begins Sunday, January 12, and is designed to help you reconnect with your creativity, rediscover your passions, and foster personal growth alongside a supportive community of like-minded individuals.

Whether you’ve read The Artist’s Way before or are exploring it for the first time, this book club will offer a structured, safe, and enriching experience.

Why the “The Artist’s Way”?

In a post titled "It's not burnout. It's oppression," 84% of Divergenthood readers shared that they are approaching or experiencing burnout. That is staggering but not surprising. It reflects the reality of existing within systems that are not designed to support our well-being. 

I chose The Artist's Way so we can return home to ourselves in the most authentic way possible, alongside a community that doesn’t ban us from asking questions and being our naturally divergent selves.

I remember mourning the person I was before I burned out. I missed writing, dancing, and creating things because I had the creative urge. I had become manic, consistently trying to keep up with everyone’s demands until The Artist’s Way slowed me down and allowed me to explore myself safely.

The Artist’s Way is a 12-week course designed to help you tap into your creativity, but the core of the transformation occurs through the completion of morning pages and weekly artist dates. As you progress each week, you will read the associated chapter and complete a series of exercises that help you explore your relationship with the chapter themes. If it seems like a lot of work, consider this:

• The chapters are short and can be read in one sitting.

• The morning pages replace screen time.

• The Artist Dates are protected time for YOU to create, explore, sit, or be.

• You are not doing this alone.

By the end, you understand yourself more and may even find yourself writing the book you always wanted to write or exploring other forms of expression that feel good to your soul.
