Elizabeth Gilbert and Julia Cameron On Creative Motivation, Personal Success and the Artist’s Way

[@snowcountry322]

"Religion is for people who are afraid of going to Hell. Sprituality is for people who have already been to there." E. Gilbert. like that!

[@karenhartman9774]

I just discovered this conversation and paused in the middle and began writing, which it turned out to be monologue… Ive found my genre! I wrote 3 pages… so delicious. Walking through the woods I finished listening to this and have stopped to share and celebrate these wonderful women! Undying gratitude 🙏🏼

[@GordonBagshaw-GBEnglishClass]

"If people don't like it, they can write their own." (34:10) That is brilliant.

[@DeAzul7902]

Merciful Mother of God! This was one of the VERY BEST hours I've spent doing anything. ❤❤❤ I can't wait to watch this again & be blessed by these women! 🎉

[@GaiaDanu]

Thank you so much Elizabeth for the so resonant nugget of gold amongst the nuggets of gold at 14:22: “Religion is for people who are afraid of going to Hell. Spirituality is for people who have already been there”

[@macfinster3]

Wow 😯 thank you 🙏

[@tamaliaalisjahbana9354]

What an arrogant statement. Only God knows what is in the heart of a person but Elizabeth seems to think she knows what is in the heart of every religious person.

[@itsjuliam]

No coincidence that I'm reading your comment today, the day I made a conscious decision to be passionate & pursue my art with everything I am & have. I feel like you left it just for me. Thank you.

sorry for my bad english, but iI have to express what I feel: This two woman belongs to the most important voices in my inner life. What we can here is enough for a wohole life. We don't need more to know about how we can live a sensefull life. It's really really usefull. I thank you very much for this great Interview!

[@GreatLeaderGreatWarrior]

Reaching the point where you can say “ I’m grateful I went through hell because of what it taught me is a great victory in one’s healing journey.

[@sumernoel1553]

🙌🙋‍♀️ Mom with children under 5 homeschooling through a pandemic! Thanks for that shout out & validation. 🙏 AND, while I struggle with that existential frustration of not being able to focus on me/my art right now, I’m trying to remember that it’s ok, this too shall pass, I’m where I’m supposed to be, & my season will come.

[@opnarth]

Thank you for being a homeschooling mom! And of five! Homeschooling moms work harder than most people, and our society looks down on them because they don't "work". Very few people are doing more good for the world with less thanks than homeschooling moms.

I'm a believer of divine timing. I found this interview while completely blocked on writing a chapter for a book collaboration. Thank you, Lord! I receive this inspiration!!!

[@evb1601]

Wow! I am so incredibly grateful to have found this. Bless you all.

[@dr.mariasundberg]

A beautiful conversation about the creative process. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@alitanicholas9579]

I'm on my third reading of Big Magic (which I'm enjoying more than Eat, Pray, Love, much as I loved that book) and am thrilled to find that Elizabeth is just like her writing voice: warm, enthusiastic and humble. I have never read The Artist's Way, but after listening to Julia here, I now have to read that too. What incredible women! Thank you and may inspiration be ever on your side!

[@kamsyanyachebelu1613]

Two of my faves! So excited to watch

[@SarahBYoga]

Wonderful. I'm on week 5 of The Artists Way and have huge respect for Julia. Thank you for this. Until now I haven't heard Julia talk. ❤️Wonderful!

[@anniepais700]

Ahhh! Julia and Liz together. A treat for the morning.

[@rkh7904]

Love these two women and their contributions to making my life and my art a reality. Big hugs to you both and to the lass who interviewed them. xxx

[@LedgerAndLace]

Oooooh, this was SO WONDERFUL! The Artist's Way and Big Magic are my Bibles on creativity. I've been doing Morning Pages since 2003 and every creative project I have done has been born out of those lovely, sometimes mundane, sometimes stressed out pages. It's such a necessary practice. When I first read Big Magic, it was such an inspiration. Every time I read it, I get something new out of it. THANK YOU for this LOVEly interview! It's so AWESOME to see all your BEAUTIFUL SMILES! 😘

[@GaiaDanu]

Thank you for mentioning Bg Magic. It crossed my path but I ignored it. Your mentioning it here has made me pay attention. I hear you. 🙏🏻

[@mariejacobs9721]

"I don't have any free time". How true! I'm so pleased to find this conversation. I will now read The Artists Way. Thank you 🙏

Such an enlightening ,fun and loving interview.I was lucky enough to attend the Webinar and feel blessed to watch this, once more. This is my Artist s date, this week !!!

[@katiecurtin2976]

Beautifully done interview, and so many gems from two women who have had a big impact on mine and so many others creativity. Bravo!

[@kerrinproff9611]

Two of my favourite people in one interview😍😍😍thank you so much!

[@debgaehl9287]

Delightful ... the first time live, it was worth the 3.30am early morning start to be in a room of shared conversation with Julia & Liz. And just as delightful in watching again. Can I say that had it not been for COVID I doubt I would have ever had the opportunity, from here in Australia, to be in the same place as Liz Gilbert and Julia Cameron ... so to Hannah, to the How To Academy for facilitating this gathering, I say an enormous "Thank You". It was such a smooth session hosted by Hannah. This one hour replay has been my Artist's Date for this week ... and in the company we keep, I reflect that I am in a state of JOY with being in the same place as beautiful, gifted, creative and inspiring women. With much heartfelt Gratitude, Many Blessings xx

[@drjackiemarquette]

I love you both Julia and Liz. Julia I have followed your teachings in the artist’s way and do morning pages for 12 years. The pages got me through writing my dissertation and turned into a book that was published. I only wished the interviewer followed up with Julia and Liz answers to her questions.

[@mjparent222]

Sweetness you don't need to know what's next. Oufff! and Wow !!! I so often have that thought that I am supposed to know what I don't know. This is very stressful. To be more kind and gentle and trust. Have trust in the process. Keep on keeping on. Thank you for these treasures.

[@thehandoftheartist6536]

Elizabeth's distinction between religion and spirituality is unreal. Managed to distill my beliefs in to a single poignant phrase. I love it. WOW!

This interview has made me so happy. I have seen both Liz and Julia personally, I consider them my teachers and I am almost crying from happiness watching them together. Thank you!

[@zelcova17]

Thank for sharing this joyful conversation! I missed webina but could watch through this link. Julia, Liz and Hanna are all connected, and thanks to the book The Artist's way, here we can share the same feeling.

[@victoriasecretttt]

Thank you! This was simply amazing, more like "life-giving"..the wisdom and hope that these authors share with us is just so precious. Dear Liz, Dear Julia, keep moving forward and we are all with you.

[@sumernoel1553]

Ok, so I’m a stuck musician. The block has been so frustrating. It’s life stuff.....becoming a mother, adulting hard, etc. My passion left, my dream no longer fits, I’ve searched for quite some time but every door I’ve knocked on is shut. It’s been so unusual. Like I can feel the Universe moving me but I just don’t know where.....which is unusual for me. My question is: my personal time is so limited these days with small children (I’ve been homeschooling through a pandemic), can my morning pages be morning music improv practice instead? Would that work as well?

I adore Julia Cameron. She is a prophet. Elizabeth Gilbert is inspiring as a creative master, but I have to share that I threw her book out after the end of chapter 1. Why? Because she penned the following sentence (and it got published without being edited out): “I was literally a puddle of tears on my bathroom floor.” LITERALLY?!! That, my friends, is an example of lazy writing not worthy of fame and fortune.

[@shelby3755]

.... people like you are honestly a disgrace to humanity.

[@innertuna1]

It’s hard to be a purist. Loved Italian part after all that pain, was well written. And I’ve been that non-literally puddle on the floor feeling like every bit of a bitter puddle of misery. But…not every book is for every person :)
