An Afternoon with Robbyn Layne: Kissing the Muse

Join us at the American Book Center in Amsterdam for an afternoon of inspiration sparked by Robbyn Layne's debut book, Kissing the Muse: A Messy Magical Memoir & Creative Guide.
Through stories, musings, and expressive art-making prompts, this book takes you on a messy, magical creative adventure to embrace your inner Muse. Think Eat Pray Love meets The Artist's Way for the next generation of self-empowering makers and seekers.
In conversation with ABC's own Claudio Tapia, and through readings from the book, Robbyn shares how this transformative, creative "Muse-kissing" practice came to be — and how it can set you on a passionate path toward a creative life you actually love.
At the event, you'll get the chance to spark your own Muse magic through a playful "Creative Kiss" experience — imagine collage, expressive writing, and a card pull from The Messy Magical Muse, the book's companion card deck. (Hint: Like tarot or oracle cards but with a twist: the Muse doesn't predict your future — she helps you create it.)
This event is free to attend, but RSVPs are appreciated so we know how to set up the room.
