#uucwreads highlights the ways that books are part of our members’ and staff’s lives.

Music Director Matt Johnson is currently reading “The Creative Act: A Way of Being” by Rick Rubin (Penguin Press). “For many years, I have been a fan of “The Artists Way” by Julia Cameron, and have used the techniques she spells out (doing morning pages, artist dates, etc.) to assist me in my journey as an artist, writer and musician. It seems like Rubin, who is a musical producer, is similarly skilled in assisting the people he interacts with in connecting with their creative sides.”

“The book is rich and filled with descriptions of the creative journey. As we approach Music Sunday (the last Sunday in April) the working title for the reflection comes from this book— The Creative Act: A Way of Being! We hope to inspire your own creative journeys.”
