For many of us, art and journaling have always been more than just hobbies, they’ve been lifelines. When life gets overwhelming, when words feel too heavy, or when the noise of the world becomes too much to bear, we often turn to the page. We pick up a pen, a brush, or a crayon, not to create something “perfect,” but simply to breathe.
Maybe you’ve found yourself filling the margins of notebooks with doodles while waiting at appointments, or writing in your journal late at night to process the swirl of your thoughts. Maybe after a loss, you instinctively turned to colors to say what words couldn’t. Or maybe during a busy season, a simple scribble was enough to remind you: I’m still here. I’m still me.
Over time, those creative moments begin to feel sacred. They aren’t just stress relief or a break from productivity. They are portals to presence, a way to return to yourself again and again. For many, this becomes a quiet, grounding rhythm. And then, after some time, another kind of whisper begins to rise within:
“Could I share this with others?”
“Could my practice support someone else’s healing too?”
It’s a natural evolution. When something deeply helps us, we feel called to offer it forward. And that’s exactly how the Muse Journaling™ Teacher Training & Coaching Program was born, from a desire to help others share the gift of mindful art in a way that’s safe, heart-centered, and authentic.
Whether you’ve already started guiding creative sessions or you’re just now considering it, this program meets you where you are. It’s designed for those who know the healing power of creativity, and who feel a nudge—no matter how small—to guide others gently back to themselves through art.

Your Creativity Is Needed. Your Voice Matters.
One of the most common hesitations we hear from aspiring teachers is this: “But I’m not an expert.” Maybe you don’t have a formal background in art. Maybe you’re not certified in therapy or counseling. Maybe you still feel like you’re figuring things out yourself.
The good news? Teaching mindful art doesn’t require perfection. It doesn’t require letters after your name or decades of experience. What it does ask of you is something far more meaningful: presence, authenticity, and a genuine desire to support others through creativity.
At its core, mindful art facilitation is about being with others in a kind, grounded way. It’s about creating safe, welcoming spaces where people can be more present, breathe, and explore their inner world through color, shape, texture, and words. And often, it’s your personal story: your own healing through creative practices that becomes the most powerful guide for others.
We’ve seen it time and again: when someone shares from the heart, others open up. When you offer space without judgment, people feel brave enough to be themselves. And when you lead with curiosity and care, your creativity begins to ripple outward, inspiring, comforting, and uplifting everyone it touches.
Of course, like any skill, facilitating mindful art circles, classes, or workshops need to be cultivated and strengthened with the right tools and guidance. That’s where supportive training, like our Muse Journaling™ Teacher Training, comes in, not to certify you into someone you’re not, but to affirm who you already are and help you grow into the teacher you’re becoming (including our 8-step Trauma-Informed Facilitator Framework and unique, trademarked mindful art practices).
So whether you’re here to dip your toes into mindful art journaling, to reflect on your next step, or to fully leap into teaching, we’re honored to walk this journey with you.
There is no “right” way to begin, just your way. And that is more than enough.
Welcome to the path of mindful creative art facilitation. We’re so glad you’re here.
