Hello, my name is Quincee Lark. I am an artist, yogi and guide who is here in service of your most truthful, alive creative potential. Through powerful somatic practices, yoga, meditation, breathwork, and exploration of the unconscious, we begin liberating ourselves into the vast, ever-replenishing and ever-changing well of bemusement that is our birthright. My curiosity towards the mystery of creativity is ever deepening, growing and changing. I welcome you to wonder with me, and invite the mythos of your experience to become your muse.
My early life is a swirl of fashion designs on the margins of my math homework, talent show singing, and whispering in the wings before a dance performance. Creating and moving what helped me make sense of the world, what brought me a sense of equilibrium.
While studying psychology at Lewis and Clark College, I poured myself into every art class I possibly could with the hopes of better understanding the human creative spirit, and the power of art to touch and inspire. In my own life, there was so much mystery around when inspiration would strike and how I could increase my odds at being its Lightning rod. On the other hand, When it did strike, I found myself truly overwhelmed by all that I wished to create, and in confusion around how to relate to, honor and ground my own creative spirit.
What do I do with all of this creative energy? I felt myself perched on the edge of this dialectic daily, as many artists do. The buzz or high of inspiration followed by periods of “creative block”, or performance and celebration into isolation and silence can be a devastating ebb and flow.
As someone who had experienced both the buzz and the block firsthand, I wanted to find inspiration for times when bemusement ebbed, a capacity for appreciating the process, as well as grounding structure for when creative energies surged. Thus began my dive into the realms of somatic psychology, Jungian depth psychology, meditation, yoga, breathwork, Buddhist philosophy, Taoism, mysticism, tantra, sound, reiki, and transcendental art.

Serving as a teaching artist, wilderness therapy guide, and experiential learning facilitator, the mystery of inspiration and the healing power of art became ever more intriguing as I witnessed my students drop into states of timeless flow and inspiration.
Practices from all streams of knowledge led me back to a gnosis: The muse isn’t outside. It is a way of seeing, the space between inside and outside, self and the beyond.
I witnessed moments my attention was oriented away from revering the luminosity of experience and toward the normal hang ups (consumption, a desire to create safety, a desire to control). I forgive myself for my forgetting, and I begin again. In this way, the path of the artist and the path of the yogi overlap; a commitment towards union of spirit (inspiration) and matter (creation).
