Invoking the muse practice is grounded in ancient history. A ceremony, a prayer, a song, a dance. To bring you to center. To call in the muse. Building relationships with the spirit world and the invisible and immortal aspects of our own nature is the root of all creativity. We will use these beautiful surroundings to inform, to inspire, and to tap lines of power, creativity and connection.
