Event Description

Welcome to You Should Read x First Female Book Club, a women-only guided reading workshop designed to transform your relationship with creativity. (OPEN TO NON MEMBERS! Please read below)

Our first book, The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, is a transformative twelve-week program that will guide us on a creative journey, helping us reconnect with our purpose and process. Through various practices and exercises, we’ll break through creative blocks and cultivate new energy while building meaningful connections with like-minded women.

In this workshop, we’ll dive into Cameron's core tools, like Morning Pages, a daily practice of stream-of-consciousness writing, and Artist Dates, intentional moments to nurture our inner artists. Each week, we’ll gather on Zoom to discuss insights, support one another, and grow together.

Join us for an in-person kickoff event on Tuesday, October 1st, at City Food Hall (formerly Grandview Public Market) in West Palm Beach! DETAILS HERE

Duration: 12 weeks
Start Date: October 7
Weekly Zoom Meetings: Mondays, 6:30 - 7:45 PM

Plus, we will have a live Community Forum via WhatsApp group to support each other daily, and share tips, takeaways and synchronicities. Invite will be shared at the Kickoff party on 9/30!
