"Beauty will Save the World"
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Temple of the Muse
is a 21-day
Creative Collective 
designed to reignite your creative voice and inner artist.
Rooted in Jungian psychology and guided by the archetype of Venus, this journey offers a sacred space to explore art, imagination, and self-expression as tools for transformation.

 

Why Now?
Venus is Rising.
There’s a reason Temple of the Muse begins as Venus stations direct.

For weeks, Venus—the planet of art, love, self-worth, and creative magnetism—has been moving retrograde, guiding us inward to review, reassess, and reimagine our relationship with beauty and expression.

During this time, old stories may have resurfaced: creative blocks, wounds around visibility, questions of value and voice.

Now, as Venus stations direct, a portal opens.
We are invited to move forward—not as we were, but as who we are becoming.
The fog begins to lift. The Muse returns.
The inner artist stirs with new clarity.

This is the perfect time to re-enter your creative practice with fresh vision.

To reclaim your self-expression not as something optional or indulgent—but as something essential to your soul’s unfolding.

Temple of the Muse: Liber Creativa is timed to walk with this Venusian turning point.
We rise in rhythm with her—day by day, together—channeling what has been gestating in the dark.

This is the moment to honor what you’ve discovered during the retrograde.
To give it voice.

Ready to Begin?

Join Us Inside the Temple.
Reclaim Your Creative Rhythm.
Honor the Rising of Venus.
Make Space for the Muse to Return.
 


Each day, you’ll receive a "love letter" delivered to your inbox containing Jungian insights, insights into the current astrology, and a new creative prompt, ritual, or reflection. In real time, and in rhythm with the collective, together we move through 21 days of intuitive art-making, journaling, dreamwork, embodiment, and soul inquiry. And to keep you inspired and on track, you'll have the option to be astrologically matched with an accountability partner within the collective!

But we’re not stopping there.

Each Friday inside the Temple, you’ll also be visited by a panel of special guest artists in a one-hour live session—
including art therapists, musicians, writers, mystics, and movement magicians
to spark your process and remind you:
You are not alone in this.

At the culmination of this cycle, participants will be invited to contribute to a collaborative, sacred anthology born from the Temple. The format will take shape according to what is produced during our 21-day collective:  poems, essays, sketches, drawings, dreams, rituals, confessions, songs, animation, photos, video.

This anthology will be an offering to the Muse herself, an artifact of this moment in creative history.

This is the alchemy of collective creativity—the Muse as midwife to your future projects, partnerships, and personal magnum opus.

We don’t just create here.
We remember, reimagine, and rise together.

Let go of compare and depair, self-sabotage. This is a devotional container.
A sacred studio for your psyche.
An invitation to show up each day and listen for what wants to be expressed through you.


In the cadence of the Muse, each day is a portal.
Each practice is a conversation with the creative self.

All you need is the willingness to show up—open, curious, and ready to create from the heart.

Invocation to Venus

O Radiant One,

You who move through shadow and shine,
through rhythm, silence, symbol, and form—
we call to you now.

 

You are the Muse within and beyond.
 

Aphrodite, Shukra, Inanna, Oshun—
by all your names, we honor you.
You who teach us that creation is sacred,
and self-expression is a form of devotion.

 

As you rise from retrograde,
guide us gently forward—
out of stagnation, out of self-doubt,
into creative motion and inner clarity.

 

We offer the unfinished, the unsure, the undone.


Clear the noise.
Quiet the inner critic.
Open the path.

 

Let the Muse return.
 

Let this be our prayer:
not perfection, but presence.
Not product, but devotion.
Not applause, but alignment.

 

We are here.
We are ready.

 

Let the work begin.

Is This for Me?
Common Doubts:

 

"But I’m not an artist.”
You don’t need to be. This journey isn’t about being trained or talented—it’s about being true.
If you have a voice, a body, a dream, a feeling—you have a creative self. This space is for anyone longing to reconnect with their inner Muse, no matter your medium or experience.

 

“What if I’m feeling blocked or uninspired?”
Perfect. That’s where we begin.
This isn’t for those already in creative flow—it’s for those ready to return to it. Whether you’ve been creatively frozen for weeks, months, or years, this is a space to gently thaw and awaken your expression in real time, together.

 

“I’ve signed up for things like this before and didn’t finish…”
We hear you. This isn’t another self-paced program sitting in your inbox.
This is a real-time, 21-day living journey—created and shared as it unfolds. You’ll be held in rhythm and resonance with others walking beside you. You’re not alone. You’re not late. Each day is a new invitation, not a task to complete.

 

“I don’t have a lot of time.”
You don’t need hours. You need presence.
Each daily offering is designed to be spacious and flexible—often no more than 10–20 minutes. You can engage in writing, art, or ritual in ways that meet your life, your body, and your energy each day. No pressure, no perfection—just process.

 

“What if I don’t know what I want to express?”
Then you’re exactly where you need to be.
This is a space for discovering what’s been waiting beneath the surface. The Muse speaks softly, and this container is designed to help you hear her again—through image, intuition, movement, and memory. Expression will come.

 

“What if I fall behind or miss a day?”
This isn’t about doing it “right.”
The Muse doesn’t live on a checklist. Life ebbs and flows, and so does creativity. Each day is a fresh beginning. There’s no behind—only return. You’ll be held in a rhythm, not a race.

 

“What if I don’t know how to make art?”
Good. Start there.
This journey isn’t about mastering a technique—it’s about learning to listen, to feel, to follow. Whether you’re drawing, writing, collaging, or simply moving with intention, you’re engaging in sacred expression. That’s enough. That’s everything.

 

“Will this be too emotional or intense?”
It might be tender—but not overwhelming.
This container is designed with care, spaciousness, and grounding. Jungian Venus work can stir deep waters—but always with beauty as your guide. You’ll be supported through each layer with creative practices, not analysis or pressure.

 

“What if I don’t finish every day?”
That’s okay. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence.
Some days you may dive deep, others you may simply read and breathe. Every day is a doorway, not a demand. The Muse doesn’t keep score—she honors your willingness to return.

 

“Is this therapy?”
No—but it can be deeply therapeutic.
This is not a substitute for mental health care. It is a creative, archetypal, and symbolic journey rooted in Jungian psychology and the sacred feminine. You’ll be invited to explore your inner world with care, not analysis. This is art as soul practice.

 

“Will I have to share what I create?”
Never—unless you want to.
Your creative process is yours alone. This is a private, personal journey. If sharing feels supportive, you’ll have the option. But nothing is required beyond your presence and honesty with yourself.


 

This is for You if…

You’ve been feeling creatively blocked, numb, or self-critical.
You long to reconnect with your imagination, voice, and inner world.
You’re drawn to art as a spiritual or psychological path.
You want to move from overthinking into symbolic, intuitive expression.
You’re ready to remember that making is medicine—and your voice matters.

“There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to decide how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.”
- Martha Graham

A One-on One, One-Hour Deep Dive into Your Personal Venus and Black Moon Lilith/Dark Feminine Mysteries with Sherene


✦ VENUS READING: The Alchemy of Love, Beauty, and Creative Power ✦

 

Venus is far more than the planet of love and attraction—she is the magnetic center of your psyche. She governs your creative expression, your style of connection, your values, and your ability to receive. In this special one-hour session, we will explore the deeper architecture of your Venus placement across multiple dimensions of your astrological chart, fusing Jungian insight, karmic timing, and archetypal resonance.

This reading is perfect if you're navigating questions around love, longing, creative blocks, body image, self-worth, artistic expression, or the reclamation of your feminine power.

 

In your personal Venus reading, we will explore:

✧ Your Natal Venus — How you love, create, attract, and relate


✧ Your Venus Cycles — Key personal Venus returns, retrogrades, and initiations
 

✧ Venus in the Progressed Chart — How your Venus expression has matured and evolved over time


✧ Venus & Black Moon Lilith — The tension between desire and taboo, the reclaiming of the wild feminine
 

✧ Karmic Venus Themes — Venus in your planetary periods (Dashas/Vimshottari) and past-life patterns of love, art, and loss


✧ The Derived Venus Chart — A secondary Venus-focused chart that reveals your unique creative and relational wiring
 

✧ Current & Upcoming Transits — How Venus is working you now and what initiations are unfolding

This is a personalized experience—part astrology reading, part soul mirror.

 

**All sessions are held live over Zoom and include a recording and optional follow-up plus resources for integration.

 

Sherene's knowledge of the stars and the human heart always astounds me. As a teacher of the divine arts, she conveys the kind of wisdom that can't be found in books.

BILLY CORGAN (CHICAGO)

This has been some of the most profound work, if not *the* most profound work I have done and will continue to do in this lifetime.

Thank you, Sherene!

MICHELLE MARLENE YORK (NEW YORK)

Joining the  group was like entering into a sacred architecture where my dreams were allowed to have the space and life necessary to be present in waking life. There was an undeniable power in joining this synergistic group on an inner journey together, fellow travelers united in our mission.  I have never remembered my dreams so well nor been so connected to the riches of my own subconscious. It truly felt like just the beginning of a new inner dialogue. I highly recommend you treat yourself to this rich experience.



ANDREA WALKER (SEATTLE)

This has been life changing! Thank you so much for leading this group and providing us with such challenging work on these topics. It’s inspired a lot of deep digging.
