She is a long-time student of the philosophy behind yoga and has been involved in researching the link between creativity, inspiration, and mystical experience for more than fifteen years.

She is frequently interviewed in the media and gives experiential workshops on creativity in both the United States and Canada. Her workshop on Hildegard of Bingen is especially popular.

About The Fiery Muse


Fiery Muse: Creativity and  The Spiritual Quest

"We are all creators and what we create—first and foremost—is our own life. Depending on our vision and courage, we can create a magnificent or a threadbare life for ourselves.

In this thoughtful and highly readable book, Teri Degler shows practical pathways for those wishing to unleash their creative powers and at the same time grow as human beings.

Drawing on the time-honored wisdom of the serpent power (kundalini-shakti), she explains why creativity and spirituality need not be worlds apart. She admirably succeeds in drawing the reader into the magical circle of spiritual creativity or creative spirituality.

This book, which is rich in anecdotes and practical examples, offers insights, hope, and encouragement. It is not just for artists and writers or mystics and students of kundalini yoga, but for everybody who dares to make more of his or her life."
Georg Feuerstein, Ph.D.

Georg Feuerstein is one of the world’s most respected authorities on yoga. He is founder of the Yoga Research and Education Center and author of many books including The Shambhala Guide to Yoga (Shambhala, 1996), and Tantra: The Path of Ecstasy (Shambhala, 1998).
