Imagine Your Success Story is Turned Into a Hollywood Movie

You will create the plot of that movie in this exercise

I still remember the wonderful excitement when I attended Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way Weekend” in London. I was there with more than 120 creatives and artists, and I ended up working with a dozen of them. Designers, musicians, actors, teachers, entrepreneurs, artisans, social media celebrities… I remember how the crowd was so much more interesting than what I have found in typical academic conferences of business schools.

In this workshop, Julia Cameron shared her classic tools such as Morning Pages and Artist Dates. She also inspired us through her amazing storytelling and lots of individual and group-based exercises.

If you want to experience a flavour of this workshop, you can just look at Julia Cameron’s classic best-seller book, “The Artist’s Way”. This book embodies the best workshop experience on unleashing your creative self. It has fascinating insights and exercises that will help you discover your own creativity.

Julia Cameron’s book has sold more than five million copies since 1992. It is the first book that brought creativity into the mainstream conversation.
