WHAT IS A MUSE GROUP?

A Muse Group is a creatively run twelve week class or three hour workshop based on the book The Nine Modern Day Muses (and a Bodyguard): 10 Guides to Creative Inspiration for Artists, Poets, Lovers and Other Mortals Wanting to Live a Dazzling Existence. Muse Groups create a group setting to help individuals to:

  • Break through creative blocks and discover new ways to express their singular uniqueness
  • Learn to see themselves in a new creative light
  • Remember who they authentically are
  • Develop strategies to utilize strengths most effectively
  • Create focus and momentum for their creative endeavors
  • Celebrate the ability to create, laugh and see life with ever-new joy
  • Reveal obstacles so that something can be done
  • Maximize the potential of each creative individual
  • Help individuals find a more satisfying ways to view their lives and work
  • Create a forum for people to meet, bond with and be supported by like-minded people
  • Experience a setting whose very nature and approach inspires creative brilliance

The reasons a Muse Group Series is effective are:

  • Honors the non-linear nature and out of the box thinking of creativity so it gives permission for people to be themselves rather than follow rigid rules
  • Provides structure and accountability in a compassionate fashion to help individuals gain momentum in the creative process, dreams long held but delayed, feared or set as lower priority are now cultivated
  • Creates creative life habits that continue when the group ends
  • Provides an inspiring, supportive, playful environment that elicits inspiration, support and play, (i.e. the way the material is presented automatically elicits creative thinking)
  • Step-by-step toils that foil every conceivable creative block
  • It is a LOT OF FUN and fun creates a creatively optimal environment

Muse Groups begin with the following assumptions:

  • People are naturally creative, brilliant and ingenious
  • Encouragement, compassion, creatively designed tasks will unleash imprisoned brilliance
  • Individuals are their own agents for change and every individual changes according to their own path, needs and individuality
  • Creative Change is promoted by compassionate guidance, inspiration by example, support, encouragement, play and partnership
  • The Nine Modern Day Muses (and a Bodyguard) know what they are doing in the realm of breaking through blocks and inspiring authentic expression

I loved the humor that came out of it, and the sharing of insights. It was multifaceted and 100% interesting and engrossing. The mind was led into myriad creative possibilities, forgotten talents, and new vistas of expression. I came away in awe of the human potential. Thanks for a wonderful weekend."
