Certified life and career coach Kim Childs will present an Introduction to The Artist’s Way from 2:30 to 4 p.m., September 12, at The Arlington Center, in Arlington. The workshop features experiential exercises based on the book The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity, by Julia Cameron. No artistic experience is necessary to attend the workshop, which previews Childs’ 11-week fall intensives on the book.

Childs, founder of Take the Leap Coaching, says that her workshops are for anyone that wants to uncover or recover their creativity, eliminate self-defeating habits and reclaim time for what they truly love. “The Artist’s Way affirms the creative spark in everyone, whether we long to make art, change careers, or start a nonprofit or small business,” says Childs. “People often think they need to consider themselves artists to do this work, but it’s really about reclaiming passions, overcoming self-sabotage and living more joyfully.”

Cost: $18. Location: The Arlington Center, 369 Massachusetts Ave., Arlington. To register, call 781-316-0282 or visit ArlingtonCenter.org. To learn more about Childs’ workshops and coaching programs, call 617-640-3813, email [email protected] or visit KimChilds.com.
