The "go" date is the date at which WCA determines whether there are enough students or not to run the class.

Course Description	ABOUT THE CLASS: How do we keep creativity flowing in our lives? Finding Water is the way writer Julia Cameron describes this process in the third book of her popular trilogy. In this six-week class we will examine common blocks to creativity and learn some ways to stay focused on artistic goals as well as make decisions on new projects. We will also learn ways to cope with outside distractions and explore the possibilities for finding inspiration in new and unusual places. This workshopis designed to benefit those who would like to discover and utilize their hidden creative talents as well as those who are already working in an art medium or writing genre or musical field. Finding Water rests on the assumption that creativity is an ongoing spiritual experience, and that as artists we must take leaps of faith in order to make art in our lives. Class sessions will include discussion of the reading assigned for that week as well as short verbal and writing challenges designed to free our thoughts and to provide encouragement and impetus for our art. Other activities will include keeping a daily journal, going on “artist dates,” and sharing creative work in a supportive setting.
