The House

The Muse Rising house and land are here for us to enjoy, explore together, and get in touch with our inner being…

Our house is surrounded by decks that capture the morning and afternoon sunshine. Sit out and enjoy a delicious warm beverage, while listening to the birds and squirrels and the Tahoe wildlife..

Relax in our outdoor hot tub for an evening soak in gratitude of our day, or even for a sunrise dip!

The lake is just a short 7 minute walk from the house where we can take in the beach air and beautiful blue waters at Chambers Landing.

Facilitators

Meet Brooke, The Muse Rising Photographer

Brooke is a women’s empowerment portrait photographer who loves to explore amongst the trees. The forest is her inspiration, where she encourages our truest selves come alive, inviting the inner muse to rise, creating art that will change how you see yourself.

Whether immersed in nature or indoors she works with the magic of light and movement to create portraits that empower the spirit, release your muse, and let you feel free to express your inner self.

“Brooke has this incredible ability to capture what many don’t see, even what I haven’t seen in myself.”

“Working with Brooke has helped me shift perspective and see myself in a different light. The portraits we created are iconic, they help tell a story, MY story. I will treasure them for a lifetime.”

“This portrait experience has meant so much to me in a very deep way. It is a symbol of transitioning into the next level of who I believe I am, like a butterfly. It has reminded me to love myself, a bold and soft me, a grown and wise me, the happy, carefree me who can't help but smile when she twirls.”

Soul Nourishment

Your Inner Muse deserves all things nourishing…

One of the most rewarding experiences during a retreat is exploring new modalities that speak to your soul and help you discover more about yourself…

Here, your Muse is invited to EMERGE. This retreat provides the spaciousness to explore while in the safety of an intimate gathering of soul sisters.

Ceremony with intention. Drinking cacao is a ceremonial process from beginning to end, long before even consumed. Cacao is the most inner part of the bean itself (known as the heart of the bean) and is known as a heart opening medicine. Sharing cacao together, our inner muse will feel safe to rise.
Understanding our Charka system can be an important part of mastering our personal energy. There are seven chakra energy centers in our bodies that influence our day to day life and how we interact with the world around us. We will open and balance our chakras to clear space for our inner muse to rise.
Tulip believes in FREE WILL - that you are your own healer. There are no predictions of the future or prophesying here. Tulip’s card readings are energetic portals and sacred mirrors of information for your inner muse to choose what to do with.
Everything is energy, so why not work with it to gain insight from the Universe,
Card readings provide divine guidance, soulful lessons and new perspectives.
Reiki is a hands-on healing technique channeling Universal Life Force Energy through the practitioner’s hands to the client’s body. The benefits of Reiki are to feel better, calmer, and more relaxed. Reiki energy vitalizes the body’s cells and can help bring peace and serenity to the physical body and mind.
Guided meditation can be a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation, helping you to explore your inner world and cultivate positive changes. Meditation can calm the mind and body, reducing physical and mental symptoms of stress and anxiety. By promoting relaxation and mindfulness, guided meditation can help elevate mood and foster a greater sense of overall well-being.

A weekend away in nature, filled with nourishment for the body, mind, and soul, your Inner Muse can come out to play…

Together, we will pause, connect, and reflect on our truest essence within and pay reverence to HER - the Muse who rises.

With the medicine of sisterhood, cacao and nutrient rich food, paired with the healing energies of the forest of Lake Tahoe, Tarot and Reiki - your Inner Muse will be ready to be FELT, SEEN, and EMBODIED with its essence beautifully witnessed through creative and artistic portraiture.
