World Muse

World Muse is inspired by those who are working to inspire positive change.

This March we hosted MUSE UnConference 2022: The term "unconference" has been applied to a wide range of gatherings that try to break down hierarchical aspects of conventional conferences. MUSE 2022 will explore the meaning of community as we reflect, connect, and intersect with change-makers from our local community and beyond.

Hello Muse Community,

It’s been far too long since we mused together. I wanted to share some updates and invitations. After nearly two decades of programming dedicated to building community and inspiring social change, World Muse has officially dissolved as a non-profit. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to engage with so many incredible folks over the years and look forward to seeing how the ripples we created together continue to spread.

World Muse will remain a platform committed to supporting change-makers locally and beyond. To that end, I’m excited to announce Bend High Muse Club’s upcoming event at The Tower Theatre this coming Monday, April 6th. World Muse began as a program for teens, so this continuation feels especially resonant. Ticket link in Linktree. I hope to see you there!

I also wanted to share that I’ll be leading a 3-week online program called “Find Your Muse,” designed to cultivate inspiration and connection. Given all that’s going on in the world, I could use a bit of both. If you’d like to join me, find a link to the most recent Muse Letter, also in our Linktree.

With Gratitude,
Amanda Cudd Stuermer

MUSE CONFERENCE 2016

November 20th is the Transgender Day of Remembrance and Resilience. Today, World Muse stands with trans and gender-diverse community members to honour those lost to violence and reflect on the need to continue to advocate for trans rights.

We would also like to pay a special tribute to a local community activist and legend who we lost in 2022. The memory of Alex Simpson, who founded and led the drag troupe “The Cult of Tuck” as Deb Auchery is a blessing to our community.

We are thankful to Unlocked Films for capturing her unique voice, her deep wisdom, her wicked sense of humor, and her huge heart for our film “A Reflection of Self.”

A toolkit for all feeling hopeless right now ❤️

In our hardest moments, as you choose what to do, what to say, where to show up, and how to respond, ask yourself: “What does love want me to do?"

Each of us has a revolutionary role that only we can play in this moment, and no role is too small.

What's yours?

Is it processing your grief? Is it disconnecting from social media? Is it alchemizing your pain into energy and action? Is it attending a healing circle? If you are safe, is it listening to an opponent who voted against you? Is it reimagining the world you wish to see? Is it just taking that next breath?

We have the tools we need to organize around . Together, we will birth a world that leaves no one outside of our circle of care.

Join us for a post-election healing circle next Wed, 11/13 at 5pm PT/8pm ET. LINK IN BIO to register.
