The Creative Portal: Shadow as the Muse
Overview
🌕 About the Experience
Every artist has a shadow—the quiet fears, unspoken truths, and hidden desires that hold creative power.
The Creative Portal: Shadow as the Muse is an immersive art-meets-energy experience in Greenville designed to help you create from your wholeness—not just your light.
Through music, movement, and magnetic connection, we’ll explore how our shadows can become our greatest source of inspiration.
