The Temple to the muse

The School of Magic commences at Elsewhere Studios in Paonia, Colorado, which magically transforms into the Temple to the Muse during this time.
The Temple to the Muse has been Elsewhere Studio’s ‘higher self’ over the last 15 years. The building acts as a ‘museum;’ igniting the muse, and sharing it with the world. The muse is to be found in the artistic nature of ourselves and the space.

It is by no mistake that The Temple to the Muse has seven doors, mirroring the seven doors to the soul: the seven openings of sensory perception on our person and seven chakras within the body. The chakras are energy centers, housed within us as a temple houses the sacred space of the spirit. When the chakras are aligned within, as planets in our solar system, they mirror the heavenly bodies above, rotating in alignment:
Heaven and earth are joined. Through this pure intention and consecration, we hold The Temple to the highest of configurations, and in this manner, it functions as a spiritual body: a Temple.

About our founder, and the magic keepers

Once upon a time

Willow Windgood, founder and curator of The School of Magic, sought to attend such a school as SOM coming out of high school. Not knowing where to look, or what exactly to look for has led to this journey of discovery.

Willow arrived in Paonia to build what is now ‘The Temple to the Muse’, and landed in a Kabbalistic ‘Elemental Magic Class’, inspiring the first dreaming of a mystery school. This area has always been a mecca for powerful teachers and teachings, but before now, has not been woven together into a cohesive configuration.

Many people from this community have come together to form the Magic Keepers, holding the flame for this knowledge to be accessible to those seeking its wisdom and direction at this time.

“We, the Magic Keepers of Paonia, are a nexus between ordinary life and an enchanted existence!  We are committed to harvesting the wisdom of the soul, cultivating our capacity for hyper-sensitive listening, and stabilizing the pure presence of silence in our lives. These experiences are reflected in the program’s depth and breadth and are a direct path to raising the frequency of the planet beginning with ourselves.”

Why do we need magic?  Because who wants to live a disenchanted life.   Life IS magic, and the ability to see and interact with it as such is a lost art that our world is begging for us to remember and re-embody.

“Magic is science, but the science that is not understandable by the ego.You need a larger intelligence that's able to see what the ego can not see.  The ego has a very limited event horizon.  Until you get out of the zombie box of the ego you're not going to be able to see the ‘real’.”
