It happens in a moment. Inspiration comes upon us without notice and too quickly to process. The word comes from the Latin inpirare, to breathe or blow into. It’s as if inspiration looks for a place where there is space to land. The arrival of this gift cannot be commanded, but we can make an environment that cultivates a clear channel.

Bone to Blossom is an image of this change, how in one moment of inspiration something can unfold and open.

This is the atmosphere that is in our classroom in Taos. We protect this space as a rare gift of uninterrupted time by being willing to leave phones, watches and other interrupters outside the classroom.

Join us for writing, painting, and bookmaking. This class is open to all levels of experience.
