  Retreat Center SPECIAL Event

Hosted by the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS)
at the IONS Retreat Center, Petaluma, CA

Presented by – Luisah Teish and Uzuri Amini

The impulse to create is natural to all living beings. Within the stone is a jewel. Within the seed there is a flower. Within the spirit of the human the ability to create sacred art lies dormant awaiting a courtship by the Muse.

In this weekend workshop participants will find their sources of inspiration through dream work, visualization, breath work and movement.

We will enter into an intimate relationship with the Muse and express ourselves through writing, painting, story telling and ritual.
Participants will learn how to:
  • Create an altar to the Muse
  • Identify and name their Muse
  • Use a variety of tools and supplies
  • Share their creative expression in small groups
Please bring your imagination, comfortable clothing, small instruments and your favorite tools.

This workshop is suitable for people of varying ages and occupations, beginners as well as seasoned artists.
