Your greatest art is your one precious life.
"Mysticism is the scholastic of the heart, the dialectic of the feelings."
-Goethe
You are an artist
Your life is your greatest masterpiece.
Everything you do is your art. The way you breathe. The way you clean your toilet. The way you look into a stranger's eyes at the grocery store. And the way you talk to yourself deep inside your own mind, it is all your art. It is all sculpting the masterpiece that is your life.
As you walk the Artist’s Way journey. You will discover hundreds of areas in your life where your energy is being harvested. You will walk the path of reclamation. You will find your inner child. And you will cultivate a relationship of love and trust with them. You will forgive yourself for all the times you betrayed yourself to make someone else happy.
You will see that behavior came from your desire to fit in and stay safe.
Now, you are big. And you have the power. To rewrite your life.
Your Life Will Change at the Speed of Light
It can be deeply unsettling to be catapulted up into the stars. It is easy to get lost up there. But that’s the whole point. When you’re in the stars, you’re on a soul retrieval mission. You must trust that when it is time you will feel the pull to return to earth.
You must trust the process.
There is a power far greater than your rational mind inside of you. The magic juice comes when you fuse your heart and mind. When you become fully embodied.
When you learn to serve as an instrument of the divine.
Join us
As we walk this path together. Shoulder to shoulder. There is a fabric that possesses a mystical buoyancy. It is here. It has already been woven to support you.
Heaven is not somewhere you go when you die. As I was taught when I had golden braids and white ruffled socks. Heaven is here. It is all around you in every moment when you step out of your pain cave.
The Artist’s Way taught me how to do that. And now, now I am free. I am a part of the fabric of unconditional love, forgiveness, and belonging. I extend my golden thread to you. It is here. There are others who have found heaven within themselves.
Weave in.
The Journey
This 12 week path offers an exploration of art and creativity as a psychological- spiritual journey. As it says on the book cover. "A course in discovering and recovering your creative self." The Artist's Way has laid out a blueprint that teaches creativity as a spiritual path. Julia Cameron is the author of this incredible book. As she says in the end of the book, "It is my hope that this book will also create blossoming, that artists and circles of artists will spring into being." She has been extremely generous in sharing this path so freely with all of us. Her only ask is that facilitators experience the journey with all who gather with them. I stand shoulder to shoulder with you on this journey. I have walked it twice now. During the second read, the journey I just shared with 12 of my dearest friends, my life turned from hell to heaven in less than 6 months. It is through the Artist's Way that I discovered the holy grail within. I have an obligation with source to share this path with you.

Your Guide & Companion
For the next 12 weeks is Carrie Cox.
Given away at birth, Carrie was raised Mormon in Utah. She was sexually abused for years as a child in the church. Publicly shamed, both her body and personality, on a reality show. Small fitness empire creator and destroyer. She is an artist, a poet, an animated story-teller, and a world-traveler. She has searched the earth for the Holy Grail and she has found it, within.
As the protagonist of Milan Kundera's stunning piece of literature discovered;
“Her drama was a drama not of heaviness but of lightness. What fell to her lot was not the burden but the unbearable lightness of being.”

Our commitment to the group journey will entail 12 weekly zoom calls. We meet every Sunday at 5:30 PM (MST) to share and hold undivided presence for one another. Our calls will last one hour. I will record and email all calls. I understand that life comes up. I will ask you not to commit if you are unable to make less than 50% of the calls in person.

We have a Marco Polo group. You are invited to share 1 minute shares with one another during the week. It is great practice to be seen in the messy creation process. We are here to help you remember, you are not alone.
-------------
Our final call will be on Sunday, May 15th. We will perform a special ritual to integrate our communion with the divine.

Being able to show up for “church” every Sunday and be held by people with a common goal was just the container I needed at that time. I love how it challenged me to try new things and to get uncomfortable, and on top of that, Carrie asking us to get uncomfortable and vulnerable in our shares, but held us with such compassion and an eye for really seeing us. I loved getting feedback and being shown love from others after a vulnerable share, it helped to make it easier the next time. Carrie creates such a magical container of love and artistry. Thank you.
-Hannah Hausman
I’m so thrilled I stepped into this container I had no idea what was awaiting…I had long forgotten the artist within myself. Growing up I was always drawing or doodling in my school books. Eventually I stopped because of my own limiting beliefs about my skill. Joining this group and showing up to the weekly calls really gave me that deep support for me to begin to unearth that long forgotten carefree artist within. Reading this book for the first time with everyone was such a delight.
Thank you Carrie for creating this container for us lost artists! It’s so special to be able to feel whole again.
-Chaguar Custodio
What an experience sharing that journey was with you and everyone else. It truly and whole-heartedly opened up a level of vulnerability within me that I was lacking due to limiting beliefs within myself. I am so so so incredibly thankful for the energy and healing space you brought to the group. You truly are a leader, a healer, and a teacher. I have grown so much within a short amount of time. I have found a truly amazing new foundation within myself because of joining this group. The Universe has given me things I have asked for that are meant for me and has taken people and situations away that no longer serve me.
