The Listening Path: A 6-Week Artist's Way Program
Registration is full. For anyone seeking to reclaim, reconnect with, or deepen their attention to their creative inner world—artists and non-artists alike. This 6-week program offers a shared space to explore creativity, attention, and listening through individual practice and group reflection. The Listening Path: The Creative Art of Attention by Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way, provides the framework for our gatherings, which will include reading, small-cluster sharing, and creative practices. Participants should obtain their own copy of The Listening Path: The Creative Art of Attention and read the Introduction and Week One chapters before the first meeting on Friday, October 9. Because the program builds from week to week, participants are encouraged to review all dates carefully before registering and to plan for consistent attendance. What to Expect: Each week will include reading, guided activities, and independent creative practices, such as Morning Pages, Artist Dates, and Walks—or another accessible form of mindful movement or sensory attunement. The process is private and personal, emphasizing growth through lived experience rather than critique or feedback. Time for group sharing will offer an opportunity to reflect on the experience and connect with others along the way. In-Person Program Dates: Friday, October 9 | 5:00–6:30 PM Friday, October 16 | 5:00–6:30 PM Friday, October 23 | 5:00–6:30 PM Friday, October 30 | 5:00–6:30 PM Friday, November 6 | 5:00–6:30 PM Friday, November 13 | 5:00–6:30 PM About the Facilitator: Laura Naples is an artist based in Hudson, Ohio. Her work explores subtle energies across the natural world and human-made forms, tracing how they are sensed and communicated through gestural abstractions. Drawing on design, dance, and calligraphy, she works with diluted acrylic washes, allowing water and gravity to flow into gradient textures. Acts of surrender and intention emerge as evidential markers of her meditative inquiry.
