An icon: Julia Cameron shares her tools to develop Spirituality & Creativity

Julia Cameron has had a remarkable career, which in turn has given remarkable help to others. Julia Cameron is an award-winning poet, playwright, and filmmaker. Julia has written thirty books, ranging from her widely-praised, hard-hitting crime novel The Dark Room to her volumes of children's poems and prayers.

The Artist's Way has sold more than two million copies worldwide, and her followup bestsellers The Vein of Gold, Walking in this World and The Right to Write are likewise flagship books which are taught in universities, churches, human potential centers and even in tiny clusters deep in the jungles of Panama.

Credited with founding a new human potential movement that has enabled millions to realize their creative dreams, Julia Cameron eschews the title creativity expert, preferring instead to describe herself simply as an artist. "Artists have always mentored, I just do it on a wider scale."

Championed by such people as Washington Post music critic Joseph McClellan who cites her "enormous gift for melody," Cameron explains, "Most of us have no idea of our real creative height. We are much more gifted than we know. My tools help to nurture those gifts."

Hoping to inspire others to "simply start," Cameron has penned two "into-the-water" books: The Right to Write and The Sound of Paper. Gentle, but powerfully catalytic, these works serve both as introduction and reminder of the power of creative living.

Cameron recently published a romantic novel entitled Mozart's Ghost. In it, creative ideas are the stuff of everyday magic.

Julia Cameron lives in New York City with two dogs.

Thanks. I am interviewing tonight Dr Allan Hunter. We will be discussing the role of creativity and where self-expression can lead us. Allan feels that creativity is a Love POEM to the Universe, connects us and leads to Oneness. Let us know your point of view!

Hi Lilou, yet again you have inspired me! I have Julia's book 'Walking in This World' which I have just found on my bookshelf - it's funny even though I am an artist I haven't actually read the book! So maybe now is the time, I do the 3 basic tools naturally anyway, which is interesting, however I don't do the writing daily, which i shall endeavor to do from now on!

Thank You

Jean

all these crazy ass hippies...they need to learn to feel disatisfied with themselves...maybe then, and only then, will they be able to be successful...material is an incentive for the creative spirit of humanity to be unleashed...everything else is a deluded concept that enslaves us to mediocraty.
