What Is Renaissance Muse™?
Renaissance Muse™ literally means the revival of our creative genius. The focus of Renaissance Muse™ is to teach individuals how to shape their experiences into transformative stories that can lead to personal change. Yvette A. Hyater-Adams, an accomplished organization development and diversity consultant, added the Renaissance Muse™ practice to her successful change management business in 2001. After years exploring and researching personal transformation models (i.e., spirituality, empowerment and expressive arts), Yvette desired to find ways to use creativity to help her clients navigate through the paradox of living in a fear-based yet prosperous culture. Her own history as an artist (musician, poet, and photographer) and change agent is a catalyst for using creative energy and reasoning as a holistic approach to attain personal success.
Renaissance Muse™ creates services and products that support personal growth. The uniqueness of Renaissance Muse™ is in using transformative language arts (TLA) that draws upon creative writing, storytelling, drama, visual arts and other forms of communicative arts that play a part in healing and empowering lives. TLA is the intentional use of the written and/or spoken word for personal change.
How this works in personal and executive coaching is by establishing a writing practice that helps uncover our personal myths. These myths are stories we find ourselves living by that can change if we choose. In the coaching process, we “re-story” these myths into a workable vision for positive action. Writing to process experiences, absorb new learning, create new meaning, and break old ways of thinking are scientifically known to achieve sustainable results.
In the creative and expressive writing workshops, participants write imaginatively, respond to poetry, and other forms literature in order to convey our own truth telling stories. We write to be creative and as a means to voice our thoughts, experiences and desires.
Renaissance Muse™’s work is grounded in the psychological theories and creative/expressive writing practices of Carl Rogers, Natalie Rogers, Carl Jung, James Pennebaker, Joshua Smyth, Michael White, David Epston, Shaun McNiff, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Louise DeSalvo, Kathleen Adams and Pat Schneider. We draw from concepts in the disciplines of creative writing, storytelling, narrative therapy, journal therapy, poetry therapy, adult learning and humanistic psychology. These collective philosophies support a client-centered foundation for personal change management work.
