The Inspired Project story
Introducing Me - Moriah-Jane
“Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, build the products you want to use – do the work you want to see done”
– Austin Kleon
The Inspired Project was created during one of the darkest seasons of my personal life. I knew that I believed there needed to be a safe creative space for women to be inspired and be in community with each other, but I did not believe how I could be the one to lead that, as I found myself in my own personal pit that I was struggling to get out of. I was just struggling to keep my head above water and function through daily life, let alone have the capacity to create and be present.
However, one by one things fell into place in a way that could not be made up, from funding to pedagogues, to a team, to a concept. In October 2019 we started with our dance therapy
project, and it was a rollercoaster, but there was consistency and we were finding our rhythm.
In March 2020 this all came to a crashing halt. Due to Corona, and though we tried to continue online, this very quickly dwindled and this was all put on the back burner.
So much has happened in the 2 years since we started, but the dream remains, “To create a safe space for inspiration and healing.” How we are approaching this looks different than originally imagined.
Part of that is this platform. From my journey, from the stories, the process, those important conversations are had and started. From creative daily practices to processing trauma, to finding inspiration in the darkest places…and much more coming to this space.
There are also many exciting ventures and projects within this one. I would be most grateful to have you be part of the ride!
