The Crockett Muse Academy was created based on a few assumptions about people, passion, and what it takes to build something real together.
Outwardly with others or alone with oneself — everyone has something that draws them in.
Together we can build a network that fosters and supports our engagement.
When access to support and resources is open, passion exploration follows.
Together, we can coordinate better access to local nonprofits, services, and each other.
49 questions designed to help people find what their passions may be and how they may like to meet and interact with them.
The quiz reads your answers across 8 dimensions — social energy, structure, time, skill, physical demand, and others — to match you with 3 of 81 possible modes across 5 domains.
A directory of foundational resources for the community to use whenever and however help is needed. The resources viewed and sites visited are never tracked. Resources can be filtered by local, state, and national scope.
Please direct others to the site who may benefit from using them — and know that they’re here and available if you ever find a need to use them yourself.
I’m just one person, talking with friends and family, who’s been working to put this idea and website together whenever I’ve had the time, energy, and support to do so over the years.
Local businesses, organizations, and community members hosting and interacting with movement, creation, thought, connection, and spirit activities — solo or in groups, in person or online.
Recurring meetups that come out of what residents say they want. CMA will work with local partners and community members to handle coordination and logistics for requested events.
The work it takes to build CMA in these three towns should be reusable in any city or town that wants the same thing. The Bay Area is a special place — from SF to Oakland to Richmond to Vallejo, and every Emeryville, San Pablo, and Tormey in between has its own flavor and style. The dream is to see a Muse Academy network in each.
A diverse and passionate group of trustees and members who work to support what CMA does and hold it accountable. Community members and partners will always be what shapes and guides CMA’s offerings — but a board of local citizens to execute planning and implementation is needed.
I moved to Crockett, California when I was 8 years old. The year was 1996… shut up lol.
Since then, I’ve had the privilege of growing up and interacting with some of the funniest, kindest, craziest, smartest, most talented, and most interesting people I’ve ever met anywhere. From artists to athletes, musicians to chefs, tenacious and caring small business owners to proud third-generation trade workers. Shout out to our local teachers and volunteer fire fighters too.
Seriously, our community is f***ing rad.
Together, I truly believe we have everything we need to better support ourselves, our neighbors, and the next generation of our community — a generation who will have the good fortune of enjoying what we build and create together today.
So please, whoever you are and wherever you’re at, if you’ve ever been a part of the Rodeo, Crockett, and Port Costa community, please consider joining, collaborating, volunteering, or interacting with the Crockett Muse Academy and its local partners to help grow this vision of support and passion exploration into a reality together.
