Season One: Liminal Spaces
Thresholds. Shorelines. The hour between night and morning. A liminal space is the in-between, neither here nor there, a place of transition, of being and of unbeing, where one thing ends and another hasn't yet begun.
Here, at the close of the year, we enter a thin time, a time of falling leaves and spiderwebs, of closing chapters and yearning dreams. Here, in the Liminal Space, we invite the contemplation: what realms am I passing through, what richness is here for me in this space between?

What happens in a circle
Each circle follows the same gentle rhythm, a ritual space you can return to every month.
Arrive. We light a candle and open the space for meaningful creative enquiry
Meditate. A short guided visualization into the month's theme.
Write. Two prompts arising from the meditation, with quiet time to write without stopping or editing.
Share, if you wish. A written line or a thoughtful reflection, entirely optional and always inspirational
Close. One word each, and a blessing to carry into the month.
Why write in circle?
Do you crave a slower kind of connection? A space with no striving, no feedback, no performing? An hour each month that belongs only to you and your innate creative impulse?
Writing alone is medicine. Writing together is something more.
When we gather, even through a screen, something softens. We are witnessed, and we witness.
The page becomes a threshold between what we carry and what we're ready to set down.
With so much noise, constant headlines, and daily demands, you’re not alone in yearning for something grounded and real.
This is an opportunity to carve out a few minutes of screen-free time each week to reconnect with yourself in a therapeutic and enjoyable way that will leave you feeling accomplished, energised and more in love with your life.
this circle is for you if:
You love to write, or long to, and want a gentle, regular practice
You're drawn to ritual, meditation and the natural world
You want to have a rhythmic and sustainable creative practice, a sanctuary to return to
You're moving through change, grief or a new beginning and want a safe place to process it
You want community without pressure: cameras and sharing are always optional
You may never have called yourself a writer but you love reflecting and expressing
You want to feel enchanted with your life
No prior experience is needed—just a notebook, a pen, and your curiosity.
What to bring and how it works
Bring: a notebook and pen OR a blank document onscreen, a candle if you like, and a warm drink
Where: ZOOM. Find a quiet corner where you won't be disturbed
Registration: Register once with Zoom and you're welcome every month. Zoom sends the link and reminders
Cost: FREE. Donations are welcome and help keep the circle open to everyone
“I’m just always so impressed with Jiya’s ability to hold sacred space. It’s just so intentional and loving and just a place to explore. I feel so inspired coming out… I’m leaving feeling so much more open, so much more ready to receive and the more I can receive the more inspired I am to offer to this beautiful land, to this beautiful world.”
—Kathleen
"I love Julia’s offerings - she is always so thoughtful. The combo of meditation, freewriting, and the really unusual prompts helped me instantly access a creative flow that left me feeling really inspired and motivated for the rest of the week. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
— Lucy

Inner Muse Yoga & Creative Writing Retreat: March 24-27, 2027
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!”
