Your Body Knows the Way: An experiential journey through Julia Cameron's The Artist's WayJune 7 - August 23 @ MBS in Southtown (1115 S Alamo St, Suite 2213)
“CREATIVITY IS THE NATURAL ORDER OF LIFE.”
~ THE FIRST BASIC PRINCIPLE OF THE ARTIST’S WAY
Reawaken the wisdom of your body and its full creative potential. This course grafts knowledge from yoga, psychology, somatics, critical theories, social justice and engagement of the senses to the framework of Julia Cameron's groundbreaking book, The Artist's Way. Over twelve weeks, you will excavate lost dreams and let new ones emerge as you connect to your creative core. The exercises in The Artist’s Way help you dismantle beliefs you have unconsciously committed to about yourself over the course of your life. In our time together, we add powerful somatic tools accessible to any body — movement, breath work, meditation, subtle body energy — within the context of our world today. Our world needs you and all your gifts now more than ever.
How it works
We will meet live weekly on Sundays from 12-2 pm starting February 2, 2025. Each Sunday session will begin with grounding meditations, some gentle movement and a short prompted writing practice, followed by an overview of the week’s work, small group discussions and a preview of the next week’s work.

About Lesley Ramsey
Lesley Ramsey began practicing and studying yoga 25 years ago. For her, nothing works better to heal the scrapes and bruises of life and the traumas of living and participating in a society of systemic oppressions and social injustice. Yoga provides direct access to the fundamental creativity that is our birthright, that inspires art and all efforts to make the world a better place. Lesley worked for 20 years as a professional public interest advocate and nonprofit executive fighting for reproductive justice, public education, immigrant rights, fair trade, climate justice and civic participation statewide. She started teaching yoga full time in 2015. Lesley teaches and practices Yin Yoga and Vinyasa (Hatha) Yoga. She has been writing morning pages daily (a key tool of The Artist’s Way) for 12 years. She is writing a memoir and compiling a collection of haiku. Lesley manages the Yoga Studio and Art Gallery at MBS Fitness, and founded BeCause Yoga to bring the healing tools of yoga to artists, activists, educators and nonprofit professionals working to make our communities spaces of love, compassion, dignity, equity and respect. She writes grants for Empower House SA and Anuja SA, the organizers of Diwali SA Festival of Lights.
