Creating Community thru Music Making

"Just when I think it's the best, I've come to see that it can get even better. I enjoy the in the moment playfulness that happens. Everyone is there, in their own space but in the space together too. And they are not anywhere else in their minds, just right there together to create, to play, to express, to be creative and without any effort. This sort of energy seems to transcend all the other stuff, and quite quickly. What I've realized being in The Muse, is how amazingly profound the opportunity is when an individual or community is in a space of safety, love, support, creativity, spirituality and nurturance... it allows like a launch pad for sweet things to open up and come forth. It is of innocent, healing & inspirational quality. Making music together in this innocence feels very essential, especially in our current times. It is something that I wish I could experience in my everyday life. Once you have felt it, you will know what I mean, and to those that have, I'm sure they would agree. Being in-sync, in-the moment, in-tune in some unspoken way, is so very powerful.

I would also say that it is as if we are able to break through this thick fog of our daily mundane world and transcend to a higher playing field - so to speak. I feel so many people don't have an outlet that they can safely co-creatively express themselves, that it very unfortunately gets bottled up inside and perhaps for a lifetime."Jenny Sustello, Boulder, CO
