Summoning the Muse

April 25, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

 

Overview

If the creative spark emanates from the liminal field between our individual psyches and the Universal Matrix where all creation originally forms, then the creative act is actually a co-creative dance, in which each of us summons and channels the inspiration of the Muse.

In this first workshop of a series of three, you’ll be guided on a shamanic and writerly journey to meet and enter into dialogue with your Muse. Step into a warm circle of kindred spirits as we explore the many ways the Muse seeks to communicate with you on a daily basis, especially when it comes to stimulating your creative endeavors. 

Each session will include an introduction to a different entry point to the creative Muse, guided writing exercises, and an opportunity to share with other seekers. 

Recommended for writers and storytellers, this workshop is open to anyone who is curious to explore new pathways that will enliven your Spirit and nourish your Soul. 

Take one session or give yourself the gift of the whole series!

Session II, Going Deeper

The second workshop will introduce you to the Medicine Wheel and the Hero/Heroine’s Journey as tools that can help us deepen our engagement with the creative Muse. Learn how to use these potent portals to spark your own capacity for transformative storytelling, for yourself and others. 

Saturday, May 9, 2 – 4 pm EST

Session III: Going Forth

The final session of the series will invite you to step into a creative partnership with the Muse through the timeless wisdom of the Tarot cards. Learn how to use the cards to spark inspiration and insight that will give spirit and power to your creative work in the world.
