A Journey into Creativity: The Artist’s Way at Gather Round
We’re thrilled to bring back The Artist’s Way—a 12-week facilitated creative challenge, curated and led by the brilliant Natasha Bergg, Creative Facilitator and all-round inspiring human. After a hugely successful members-only course last year, this time we’re opening it up to the wider creative community of Bristol.
Never heard of The Artist’s Way? It’s a transformative ‘creative recovery’ programme based on Julia Cameron’s bestselling book, designed to help you reconnect with your creative flow. Whether you’re a professional artist, budding creative writer, or you’re trying to achieve a specific goal, this course will challenge you to find fresh perspectives, figure out what’s blocking your creativity and how to get out of your own way.
Each week, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate, reflect on and discuss the book’s weekly creative provocations as part of a small group – all guided by Natasha’s unique, playful and supportive approach to creative exploration.
“I’ve opened up in ways I didn’t expect and found myself doing and making so much more since the course.”

What to expect this year
This autumn, we’ll be hosting the workshop weekly and in-person for 13 weeks from Wednesday 8th October to 21st January, 5:30-7pm in our Production Space at Brunswick Square. This includes an introductory session followed by the 12-week course itself, including a break over the winter holidays.
Each week brings a new theme, along with prompts and exercises that might have you unearthing childhood dreams, rethinking your relationship with time and money, or trying something out, just for the joy of it.
As well as lifting the course off the page and bringing it to life in the room through hands-on collaborative and individual activities, this year’s course will also have a natural theme – whether we’re drawing wisdom from nature or using natural materials in our work.
“The connection, care and nourishment I got from the group was beyond my expectations.”

Ready to join us this autumn?
It’s up to you how much time you invest in the course, but we recommend that you set aside at least a few hours each week to complete activities that we don’t cover in the sessions. Trust us, you won’t regret it!
We’re super excited to be opening this up to a wider audience this year and can’t wait to meet you.
Gather Round members – keep an eye out for a mailer with discounted tickets.
