a beloved daughter’s journey
into creatively liberated Artistry
i birthed la petite muse because
i desire, more than anything, for my
daughter to be Seen & deeply Supported
on her uniquely creative life journey.
for all our daughters to have a girlhood that is
overflowing in Enchantment, exquisitely
expansive, blessed by nature, full
of magical possibilities, and
sweetly simmered in
cyclic feminine
wisdom
la petite muse
a nature-rooted atelier for blossoming
artists, dreamers & tender-hearted creatives
is my living love letter to young girls —
the alchemical & artistic embodiment of
what it means to live a life of creative
whimsy, iridescent wonder, and
the purest ethereal beauty.
to create & express — from our throats,
hearts, and bodies — in a slow,
authentic, and deeply
relaxed way.
our days together unfurl as a prayerful tapestry of
gently guided Creative play ~ weaving skill through
the foundational tools of inner listening, joyful
connection, and a luminous imagination.
from foraging medicinal herbs in the pine forest
to a wild theatrical enactment of the monarch
butterfly’s metamorphosis to designing
stunning mandalas from raw natural
treasures to weaving heroic story
characters while clambering
up old oak trees… it’s all
in a day’s play for us
at la petite muse
our feminine curriculum
is slow, handmade & intentionally woven into Gold —
a mirror of the Beauty & Devotion in our lives.
these are the core elements
of our masterfully designed
Arts & nature immersion
fine arts
highly sensorial & process-honoring,
we explore curated creative techniques
through hands-on mediums including clay,
charcoals, pastels, watercolors, illustration,
acrylics, mixed media, natural dyes,
design play, and the cultivation of
a refined & intuitive Artistic eye
literary arts
mythic & magical, our whimsical studies come alive
through expressive storytelling, imagination-rich
literary gems, original tales, character crafting,
and the true art of weaving words into Worlds.
somatic arts
our entire field is oriented to the inner alchemy
of a relaxed nervous system, rooted body awareness,
and gentle body-loving presence. through playful yoga,
creative acrobatics, and the joyful embodiment of movement,
breath, and rhythm, we model movement patterns that become
the loving foundation of vibrant and authentic expression.
alchemical arts
rooted in the elemental delights of nature’s alchemy,
our science-meets-magic labs are truly awe-inspiring.
from fermenting our own gut-healing kimchi to
the color changing magic of blue butterfly pea
tea to dye-ing homemade slime with malabar
spinach seeds… every day is filled with
WOW-factor curiosity, hands-on
experimentation & endless
enchantment.
expressive arts
distinct from performance arts, though similar
in roots & spirit, we offer a non-performance based
study of creative expression that honors the inner muse,
each girl’s authentic desire, and the soft courage of being
deeply seen from within. here, our young muses study
emotion, story, movement, and artistry without
pressure or perfection... only play & presence.
celestial arts
we look to the stars as the first storytellers,
infusing the mythology of ancient archetypes in
Timeless and beautiful ways. we live in harmony with
the lunar rhythms, honor the cyclic seasonal wisdom,
and connect to the greater Galaxies of each young
muse’s unique and distinct dharmic path.
herbal arts
hands-on and highly sensorial, we befriend the
native, medicinal, and edible herbs that grow right
here on our land. through weekly walks in the woods,
hands-in-the-dirt gardening, and enchanted herbal hunts,
our girls learn to identify & ally with the mystical world
of plants. we craft the finest floral teas, make lavender
syrup from scratch, collect wax myrtle berries for
candles-making, and make beautyberry jam.
we cultivate a deep reverence for the earth
both through practical herbalism
& nature’s mystical delights.
Sufey is a gifted teacher and a wonderful human. She creates magical lessons that captivate the children and are so fun they don’t want to stop. Her lessons have also led to so much continued learning outside of class; they’ve sparked creativity and curiosity in my daughter like no other classes have.
Each class is tailored to our kids in such detailed ways; even each handout is customized for every child. My daughter feels so seen and so special and wants to keep all the materials and do them again and again. My daughter and I also love the small class sizes; she doesn’t get lost in a big group, and we have the space to truly connect with the material and each other in such meaningful ways.

My daughter absolutely loved her time with Sufey. She felt so happy and included in her art sessions, which is huge for her. Every class she came home talking about her new friends, singing the beautiful songs Sufey writes, and with so much excitement around what she was creating. Seeing her creativity grow at home was so amazing too! She started very shy but by the end of her summer sessions she was so much more expressive and confident. She also started building nature altars in our home, writing her own songs, and pointing out medicinal herbs outside on the sidewalk! I learned a lot from her.
As a parent, I am really amazed at how much care and intention Sufey puts into everything she does. It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Even though she always plans these incredibly creative adventures for the kids, nothing ever feels rushed or chaotic. The atmosphere she creates is peaceful, loving, and so, so beautiful. I only wish Sufey lived here in Canada instead of going home to Florida soon!
We felt very lucky to spend the summer with her, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Sufey’s wonderful classes to any family who has the chance to learn from her. She is a rare gem and a once-in-a-lifetime kind of teacher.

From the very first Earth School class, I knew my children were in a truly beautiful place where learning was as playful as it was profound.
At Earth School, my children felt like the stars of their own enchanted tales. Each day was designed just for them, allowing their unique personalities to shine brightly. Sufey was like a real life fairy (as my children call her) such a bright shining light guiding my children on extraordinary quests of discovery, where curiosity led the way, and laughter filled the air. It was heartwarming to see how each lesson was woven to fit the dreams and interests of every child, making learning a delightful adventure!
Watching my kids come out of their shells was nothing short of a transformation from shy caterpillars into confident, vibrant butterflies! They dove into all sorts of magical activities—crafting nature crowns, exploring secret trails, and playing games that sparked joy. In this enchanting realm, friendships blossomed like wildflowers! They formed bonds with fellow explorers, sharing giggles and secrets that I just know will create lifelong memories. It warmed my heart to see these beautiful connections unfold, creating a tapestry of friendship that felt as magical as the school itself.
But the magic didn’t stop there! The lessons at Earth School were profound and meaningful, planted like seeds in the hearts of my children. They learned to appreciate the wonders of the earth, to think creatively, and to work together as a team of brave adventurers. These cherished lessons will stay with them forever, guiding them as they grow into wise stewards of our beautiful planet.
Earth School is a treasure trove of joy, friendship, and learning, where each child is honored as a unique and wonderful being. I can’t thank Sufey enough for nurturing the magic within my children and for creating an unforgettable adventure they will carry with them for a lifetime! 🌟🌿✨
