Periagoge Life Coach
Mura
For creativity — writing, art, music, design, and the examined creative life.
Mura works with creative block, creative practice, and the inner life of making things. She helps you work through what’s stopping you — the critic, the perfectionism, the blank page, the fear that it won’t be good enough — and build a practice that actually produces what you’re capable of. Writers, artists, musicians, designers, and anyone who makes things for a living or for their life.
