The Muse is a foundation established by the historian and thinker Theodore Zeldin that aims to stimulate courage and invention in personal, professional and cultural life.

This discussion group, based on the ideas of the Muse, is a place for adventurous conversations. People from every continent can share their passions, tastes, beliefs, dreams and everything that shapes their understanding of life, and respond to the experiences and thoughts of others. You will be able to take off your mask and say who you really are, and engage in conversations that help you explore where your life is leading or could lead. If you are dissatisfied with superficial talk and want to discover who inhabits the world, please join us.

You can find out more about Muse projects and how to become involved in The Muse at the Oxford Muse website. Theodore Zeldin also has a Facebook page.

If you would like to write your self-portrait but don't know where to begin, you can email us for some private one-to-one guidance and discussion about the art of portrait-making.
