10am CST/ 4pm GMT
For writers, creatives, and seekers feeling burnt out, numb, or disconnected in an anxious world.
Through mindful writing, ritual, myth and embodied creativity, you’ll move beyond creative blocks and reclaim your inspiration and sense of aliveness.
Walk away with a renewed sense of creative direction and a body of work drawn from your own life and inner world.
Attention reclaimed, energy restored, creativity reawakened.
“Becoming the Muse was an activation for my writing, and with it, I felt my connection to and longing for creativity deepen with each session. Prior to all this, I don’t think I ever really considered creativity as something essential to life. Now, I feel grateful and inspired, and find myself wanting to tend to that inner cauldron.”
Inner Muse 2025 participant
You’re here because something in you is calling for more depth, aliveness, and creative presence;
not just another productivity tool.
This Course is for you if:
You’re tired of consuming content and want to create
You feel creatively blocked, numb, or burnt out
You crave depth, ritual, and meaning, not productivity hacks
You want a sustainable writing practice rooted in presence, not pressure
You feel called to memoir, myth, nature, and inner exploration
You feel a need to express and long for a grounded, embodied creative practice
You want calm, presence, and creative aliveness in your day-to-day
This course is not for you if:
You want grammar drills or publishing shortcuts
You prefer fast-paced, outcome-driven programs
You’re not open to reflection, embodiment, or inner work
“Before this course, I felt blocked and generally disenchanted with life…
now I write daily and feel alive and excited in a way that i haven’t in a long time”
What you will receive:
A gentle nervous-system recalibration through writing (so your attention feels alive again)
A reclamation of focus in a distracted world
A sensual, embodied alternative to screen-based self-help
An archetypal creative initiation that deepens your sense of meaning
A healing container grounded in writing, ritual, and nature-infused imagination
A personal writing ritual you can continue long after the course
A body of writing you’re eager to return to and expand
How you will receive it:
Weekly live sessions blending guided prompts, reflection, and embodied practice
Carefully held writing exercises that spark and sustain your voice
A small, supportive community for sharing, witnessing, and connection
A 70-page manual with session worksheets and optional practices for the week
All sessions are recorded and available if you can’t attend live; this is designed to fit into your life, not crowd it.
A Day in the Life of Your Creative Practice
IMAGINE… You’ve had a long week. But it’s time.
You settle into a quiet space and step into a portal of connection and inspiration, a place that has been dormant for a long time.
You talk about the forgotten details. The intimacy. The mundanity. The weavings that make up a life.
You break between discussions to write. Inspiring prompts that get you writing in a way you haven’t before.
You fill more and more pages with your musings. At least one of these paragraphs is destined to become a longer piece.
Over and over again you are hit with clarity.
Seeing the links between moments of your life. Seeing the spirals that return.
Filled with the wonder of the little things that so often pass you by.
About The Format …
We meet for six, 2-hour webinars in small, intimate groups. All calls are strongly recommended to gain the full experience of the course and for group stability. Calls will be recorded and notes shared for those who need to miss a session.
During this call we will:
discuss a theme as a group
work with guided meditative practices to access a mindful state of inspiration and enquiry
explore sample pieces of writing to explore style and content
dive into personal creative writing based on prompts that are tailored to the theme and the moment
prompts include various writing styles such as intuitive/flow writing, life writing/memoir, poetry and narration
receive opportunities to share and receive feedback
For each call you will receive an additional worksheet, each part of the full 70-page manual, including suggestions for optional mindfulness practices and writing prompts during the week.
Minimum course commitment is 2 hours for live calls each week, or watching the replay if necessary.
We also recommend setting aside 30-90 additional minutes each week for extra prompts and reflection upon the weekly content, although this is completely optional - absence of time between calls will not affect the integrity of the course.

WHAT OUR PARTICIPANTS SAY:
“I truly can’t say enough about all that I received from attending this writing retreat with Jiya. Her loving, soulful presence and the way she held such sacred space for authentic, creative expression was just amazing. The experience left a profound impact on my life. I feel more confident in myself, more open to sharing my creativity, and I made life long friends & memories that I will forever cherish. I can’t wait to join Jiya again for another offering in the future!”
“I love how Inner Muse brought me to a timeless space where I could reflect deeply and return to corners of my life that I hadn’t ventured to since the memories themselves were formed. My muse held a mirror in her hand, showing me parts of myself, and others, I had long forgotten, like family members who have already passed. I got to re-live experiences with them, which was really beautiful. This journey through writing has been is such a gift. Thank you, Julia!!”
“This retreat was completely soul enriching. Julia leads ceremony and holds sacred writing space in a beautiful way. This type of retreat is great for absolutely anyone wanting to connect more to themselves, deepen their writing and creativity, and connect more to the earth. Can’t recommend it enough!”
FAQs:
Do I need prior writing experience?
No, you do not need any prior writing experience to join this course. You will be guided to write from an intuitive place, grounded in presence and supported by mindful meditative practice. You will be shown examples that will help to understand the prompts and techniques, and receive optional feedback to help improve your pieces. Writing is a deeply therapeutic practice and can be enjoyed by all!
What if I miss a live session?
While we do recommend that you aim to attend all sessions, if you can’t attend you are welcome to watch the video and work along at your own pace. All sessions will be recorded and shared. You will receive a post-webinar worksheet that will detail the practices and prompts worked with during the call. You will also be added to a group Whatsapp where you will be included in the discussion, meaning you will always remain with us on the journey!
How much time per week will this likely take?
The minimum course requirement is 2 hours for the live calls. We also recommend an additional 30-90 minutes during the week to reflect on the prompts and develop your work, although this is not necessary.
I’m nervous. Do I have to share my work?
There is no expectation that you need to share anything - however, this is a safe, supportive space and you will have optional opportunities to share, should you wish to receive some reflection and encouragement.
Do I have to do the prompts on screen or can I write by hand?
No - the choice is yours whether to write on a word program or in your journal. Both are effective for different reasons.
I really want to do this but I cannot afford the full cost at the moment. Are there any options for me?
Yes - you are welcome to pay via a payment plan to split the cost into two or three payments. Failing this, please email Julia on createspaceyoga@gmail.com to ask about our partial scholarships.
I’d love to eventually turn my writing into a blog or a book, but I don’t know where to start.
Consider adding on a mentorship package with Julia - this can be done alongside (during) or after the course and will be very supportive in helping you refine your writing, get clear on the direction and set goals for completion. Find out more here.
