Walking in This World is a sequel to Julia Cameron’s* ground breaking book The Artist’s Way. Filled with insights, motivations, and revelations this 12-week program brings clarity and understanding to creatives and those who would like a more artful life.
Meeting once a week on Zoom, this book club will study and share the readings and tasks in each chapter. Discussions and the use of break-out rooms for small group interactions will help us get to know each other and lend the support that we all need to keep going and learning about ourselves and our creative gifts.
There are no-prerequisites. The program is for people who are embarking on or continuing a creative path; it is an individual journey.
Supplies:
- a copy of Walking in This World. Available on Amazon and Kindle, but if possible, please order from your local bookstore.
- An 8 1/2 x 11” notebook for morning pages
- paper and pen when you come to class.

The Slow Rush, released in 2020, has amassed over 1.5 billion streams worldwide. The album landed at #1 album in multiple territories and was his highest charting album to date in both the US and UK with 14 top 10 chart positions around the world. The album serves as a deep reflection on the passage of time. “The Slow Rush is an extraordinarily detailed opus,” said Pitchfork. “I have to marvel that all this sound and history comes from Parker alone, picking every string and twisting every knob.” The Slow Rush has amassed over 1.5 billion streams and counting.
In addition to its chart success, Parker won an ARIA Awards haul, taking home Album of the Year, Best Group, Best Rock Album, Engineer of the Year and Producer of the Year. Parker was nominated for two GRAMMY Awards in 2021 for Best Alternative Album and Best Rock Song for the single Lost In Yesterday. This marked his third nomination in the Alternative category, having previously been nominated for Currents and Lonerism. The Slow Rush was also nominated for two Billboard Music Awards and an American Music Award (AMA).
Parker has emerged as one of the most influential voices of the last decade. Thanks to the ravenous demand of fans for a transcendent live performance, Tame Impala has headlined festivals and theatres around the world and released four full length albums – InnerSpeaker, Lonerism, the RIAA Platinum-Certified Currents and The Slow Rush. As a writer and producer Parker has collaborated with The Weeknd, SZA, Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson, Kanye West, Kali Uchis, Theophilus London, Miguel, A$AP Rocky and more.
