Information on why the Muse is important in developing your own creativity
WHY CREATE THE 'MUSE'?
Because the Muse has always been associated with the mysterious source of inspiration and is catalytic to creativity. Don't we all want more creative inspiration to fuel our efforts?
We can't summon or demand the Muse to show up for us, but we can create practices that invoke her. I share information on this in more depth within the course and offer time tested rituals and exercises that invite her presence.
The notion of the Muse dates back to Greek mythology where she was believed to be the daughter of Mnemosyne, goddess of memory and Zeus himself, the supreme God and ruler of Mt Olympus. So, she comes with some weighty credentials!
Beauty has always been associated with the divine, which aligns our creative practices with out highest good. The Muse is a great archetype to get to know to attract more inspiration.
I painted The Muse tossing handfuls of brilliant sparks into a deep indigo night, and each spark stands for a seed of inspiration and creative potential. The golden net makes the night sky come alive.
I recorded the whole process so you can paint your own Muse. Same image and you can follow my choices or complete her with different colors reflecting your choices. She's yours to make.

Why the Muse?
Since ancient Greece, the Muse has stood for the mysterious source of creative inspiration. Ancient creators like Homer and Virgil asked for her help before they began to write. Throughout time artists have sought the Muse to inform and guide their work.
We can't order her to appear, but we can build habits that make her feel welcome, and I share my favorites inside the course.
