Alchemy of the Muse ~~~ class series with Grace Tea
In our cells is the language of the universe.
When we open our voices to allow pure sound,
move our bodies with authenticity and integrity,
and let words fall upon the page with intuition,
we release the stories of our cells, decode the language of our selves,
and unfold the tale of the universe.
Join Grace Tea in an exploration of sound, movement, gesture, and creative writing -
the nature of intuitive expression as it transforms into art. For info on upcoming classes, please contact Grace at gracetea.org
