New Member Orientation

Below we have outlined five simple steps for your New Member Orientation! We encourage you to engage with each step outlined below as a way to initiate your membership journey, learn about your member benefits, and connect with our incredible community.

Consider making time to complete one step a day, or do them all at once! Each step takes just a few minutes, and will support you in getting familiar and settling in with ease to your MUSEA Membership.

Visit our Membership Portal to learn about our our 2023 Membership Theme – Creative Sanctuary. This is a place for you to find solace and replenishment in your creative practice, supported by an incredible community! It is a sacred place where your devotional creativity can be nurtured and your truest self expression and soul voice accessed!

Come introduce your incredible self in our MUSEA Member Creative Sanctuary on the iMusea App. You can download the app on your phone, or join via desktop. Once you are on the app, simply select the MUSEA Members group and request to be added.

Pick up a watercolor or mixed media journal or notebook in a size of your choosing. You will want to have this to engage with the creative inquiries, Intentional Creativity processes that occur in most of our circles and classes! Watch our Watercolor Materials Overview video to gain some insights on how to work with a watercolor art journal!

New to Intentional Creativity? An Introduction

If you are brand new to the practice of Intentional Creativity, we encourage you to view some of our Educational Videos sharing about the practice, philosophy and methodology of Intentional Creativity, and how we work with it in our community. Of course experiencing it for yourself it the most exciting way to begin! You can also engage with your Member Resource Library that includes hours of Intentional Creativity classes and processes – whatever calls to your muse.

As a part of your membership journey, we offer monthly Intentional Creativity processes and art journal/notebook inquiries for your to engage with. These happen live at our monthly member circles, and are also available on your Membership Portal. This will provide you with opportunities to practice Intentional Creativity and experience the joy and healing that comes from this way of engaging in self-expression! No experience necessary, just the willingness to show up and let yourself create freely.

We invite you to begin to set up your creative studio space, whether that is your kitchen table, a closet, an art room, or the corner of your bedroom! Set up a beautiful altar, add some candles, jars ready with water, a selection of paint colors to get you started, a ball of red thread (which we use in our creative connection circles), and a set of paintbrushes all your own. You have opened the door to Intentional Creativity, and now you can let yourself get excited and even more curious as you step into your Artist Archetype with us!

What Communications to Expect From Us

Our Membership Team will be sending membership communications to your inbox every other week on Tuesdays, providing membership weaving, reminders of events and resources, creative inquiries, and member spotlights. Look for emails from ‘Creative Sanctuary’ as these are your membership specific emails within Musea!

We also publish a once monthly Museum newsletter that goes to members as well as a quarterly Member ‘Zine’ that features stories, reflections, art and inspiration from our membership community. Who knows, we might be featuring you one day soon!

There is a lot of goodness in store for you on your MUSEA Membership Journey. We encourage you to take it one step at a time, and engage with our nourishing creative content at your leisure and when inspired. You can pick up where you left off, or jump in to something new! All approaches are welcomed and we encourage you to follow your creative joy!

Once again, we are truly excited to have you join us as a member.

With heART,
