Welcome

Welcome to the Celtic Muse

 
If you've been thinking about, or want to invite more creativity into your life, then you're in the right place!

The Celtic Muse has inspiration for women who...

• have felt the stir of creativity and want to express it
• want to explore their creative potential
• know that nurturing creativity is a form of self-care
  
• understand that creativity is a way of showing up and being in this world, as well as an expression of creative energy
• want to honor and encourage their Muse
• have a hunch that creativity might be the "missing piece" in an otherwise full and happy life.
  
• have found a connection between creativity & spirituality

The Celtic Muse retreats, workshops, tele-classes and coaching with Maggie Butler are designed to inspire and encourage, nurture and nudge your unique expression of creativity.

Maggie's Writing Retreat pulls you out of writing paralysis, gets juices flowing you never knew you had, and to your total amazement, has you producing one piece after another.  I counted a dozen I completed that weekend!  Sibyl M.

The Celtic MuseLetter and Blog (coming in May) encourage ideas and conversation about all aspects of creativity such as

• how we define (and confine) it
  
• how we express it, and
  
• what thwarts or supports it.

In my own life I've learned the value of creative expression to my personal growth and development. Once I "got" that, though, came an even bigger, bolder and empowering realization:   How I choose to show up - authentically, in integrity, living into more of my potential each day - is the story, the poem, the melody, the colour and texture of a creation that is my life.  My life is my ultimate creative expression.

This insight has opened up a world of possibility for what it means to live a creative life. Guiding other women who are ready to explore this path brings joy, fulfillment, and meaning to my life. (And fun, too!)

"People ask: What if I unblock myself and I have nothing to say? The more pertinent question is what if I live my life without giving myself the opportunity to express what I need to say?"  Julia Cameron

So, take a look around.  I hope you find something here that inspires you and opens the door to more creativity in your life.
