A unique step-by-step approach to personal development and satisfaction that uses the medium of drawing to learn about ourselves

In our materialistic society, many people are not encouraged to embrace their creativity. So they quietly shut down that part of their inner lives. Even people who learn to embrace their creativity may find themselves blocked by past emotions. Heather Williams has developed playful yet profound exercises to teach not only the technical but also the emotional skills that artists and nonartists alike need to create and heal their lives. Throughout, Williams's gentle, fun, and compassionate guidance extends an invitation to see ourselves and our world with new eyes and an open heart.

Explore three different approaches to drawing in this book:

See and draw the world around you
Explore and draw the world of memories, emotions, and dreams within you
Access your intuition and draw out its guidance

Industry Reviews

"Heather Williams has written a comprehensive guide to the three doorways into artmaking: seeing, feeling, intuiting. She brings a deep spiritual sensibility and years of work as a teacher using art for healing. The activities presented guide the reader into the secret of all art: personal, hands-on experience. Join Heather on the journey into your Creative Self."

- Lucia Capacchione, Ph.D., A.T.R., author of Living with Feeling

"Mystics and artists throughout time have appreciated how practical and spiritual worlds meet and shape one another through the act of drawing - spirit is given tangible and particular forms as the material world is simultaneously inspirited by the perceptions and intimate gestures of a person. Let your hand lead the way and reveal sacred realms through the imagery and feelings that will emerge when you commit yourself to the practice of drawing, using this wisely crafted book as a spiritual and artistic guide."

- Shaun McNiff, author of Art As Medicine and Trust the Process

"Heather Williams guides her readers into the world of line and shadow, inner and outer landscape, and every corner of the natural world and the human heart, providing exercises and a helping hand to anyone with a hunger to draw and, more importantly, to feel and to see."

- Eric Maisel, Ph.D., author of Fearless Creating and The Van Gogh Blues
