Julia Cameron returns to the spiritual roots of the Artist’s Way in this six-week Program

Author Julia Cameron changed the way the world thinks about creativity when she first published The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity 30 years ago. Over five million copies later, Cameron now turns her attention to creative prayer, which she believes is a key facet of the creative life. In Seeking Wisdom, a 6 Week Artist’s Way Program, listeners, too, will learn to pray.

Tracing her own creative journey, Cameron reveals that prayer led her forward at a time of personal crisis. Unexpectedly, prayer became an indispensable support to her artistic life. The tools she created to save herself in her darkest hour became the tools she would share with the world through The Artist's Way. Seeking Wisdom details the origin of these tools, and by Cameron's example, the central role that prayer plays in sustaining a life as an artist.

In this volume, Cameron shares a mindful collection of prayer practices that open our creative souls. This path takes us beyond traditional religious rituals, welcoming listeners regardless of their beliefs and backgrounds. As you journey through each week of the program you’ll explore prayers of petition, gratitude, creativity, and more. Along the way, the three beloved tools of The Artist’s Way—Morning Pages, Artist Dates, and Walks—are refreshed and reintroduced, to provide a proven, grounded framework for growth and development.

Additionally, Cameron introduces a fourth tool, Writing Out Guidance. She believes this powerful practice will greatly aid aspiring artists.

Seeking Wisdom issues an invitation to step further into exciting creative practice.

loved this book.

it helps one go deeper in prayer, and it helps you understand the importance of a relationship with God.

Creativity: A Viable Path towards Spirituality

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and was happy to see someone as influential as Julia Cameron talk about the relationship between Creativity and Spirituality. I am an Artist and a Clinical Psychologist who has always viewed both my painting practice and at one time, my therapy practice as spiritual practices, above all else. This book was good personal account of the way our creative practices have the power to connect us to our spirituality. Thank you Julia Cameron for spreading the word so eloquently.

Moments and thoughts on book.

Most memorable moments were just the communication with God and the answers He gave. Trying on my own to do the same. Thank you Julia for a memorable book.

Terribly Disappointing

I love The Artists Way and Julia Cameron. But this book reflects an author who has lost perspective. The writing doesn’t seem to have an audience in mind, just a repetitive review of the details and minutia of the authors mundane moments with no applicable commentary to go with it. It’s weird and sad and starts nowhere and goes nowhere.
Her editor and friends let her down. Someone should have intervened.
