In ancient Greek mythology, the muses were goddesses who assisted in creation, provided knowledge, and fanned the flame of art. Their inspiration seemed to come from somewhere otherworldly, certainly somewhere beyond the physical, and the muses provided a "divine" explanation. Muses were "the key to the good life."

But, what is inspiration, really? Inspiration is the stimulation of the mind or emotions. But, inspiration also means the act of drawing air into the lungs. Simply put, inspiration is breathing.

We believe that living in a state of inspiration is as necessarily fundamental as breathing. Eastern spiritual masters have understood for thousands of years how breathing can impact our existance on every level. Breathing not just into your lungs, but into your mind and your spirit as well can open up realms of understanding and new pathways to peace.

This site is designed to be a place where you can take gulps of inspirational air. We hope that you will come here often and seek out your own breathing room - whether it is in the conversations that will take place here, the divine work of our artisans, insights into living a more authentic life, guidence on parenting or other areas that might seem to whisper specifically to you.

The key to enlightened living is learning to recognize that which inspires you wherever you find it. We hope that this site becomes a place of inspiration for you, a source of divine creative spark...a place where you can "muse yourself."
