Artist - Storyteller - Teacher - Curator
Shiloh Sophia lives life as a great adventure! A renaissance woman who communicates her philosophy through painting, storytelling, and illustrations. For 25 years she has dedicated her soul work to the practice of creativity as a path of transformation and consciousness. As a gallery owner, she has represented her own work, as well as hundreds of women artists
Her paintings are widely collected around the world and she achieved incredible success with her fine art and books by the age of 40. Her intuitive painting process led to a desire to teach and serve. Her contemplative approach provided groundbreaking research on how Intentional Creativity® gives voice to the soul. Her message of ‘creating with intention’ has reached tens of thousands, and for some programs, she reaches upwards of 500 enrolled students online per month.
Her devotion to sacred art-making and specifically medicine painting and metacognitive drawing is a personal spiritual practice. Her relationship with the feminine Divine and specifically Mother Mary and Magdalene has deeply influenced her work, having painted over one hundred images of Madonnas, many of which are used in the Mother Mary Deck published by Blue Angel. She is trained as a Reverend and leads circles for women to explore their relationship with making sacred art.
Her work is taught in university MA and Ph.D. programs, at the United Nations, and by over 300 Intentional Creativity® Teachers and Coaches worldwide. At the core of her work is a belief that the right to self-express is one of the most basic human rights. Her research dives into the exploration of the right/left brain connection with the heart and body as well as how image and language inform consciousness.
She is the creator of over seven illustrated books and journals and is currently working on a series of mythic novels as well as an inspirational deck. Having been trained by her mother Caron McCloud the poet, and Sue Hoya Sellars the artist, she brought her gifts of language and image into form. To her students, she offers the gift of a 'creative lineage’ rich with a community of culture, practice, process, and teachings.
To honor the lineage, her husband Jonathan and she co-founded MUSEA : Center for Intentional Creativity® where she is the Curator for a visionary art collection. They provide education at their campus and in their global online classroom. She can be found most days having tea with her muses discussing quantum physics and celebrating revelations of the heart.

"My teacher is a stand-up painting poetess who lives with Intentional Creativity. Shiloh Sophia shares her passions in beauty ways. Her visions bring images of the Divine Feminine spreading all over our world. Stardust trails from her into caves and boos and crannies. When she preaches, Sophia's wisdom is on parade. In sacred marriage she brings alchemy. She is a catalyst for others to find their voices using the elements. She drums and rattles to shake things up. She honors the ancestors and refuses to accept any system that doesn’t serve up love for the women as well as the rocks and trees and bees and birds and the All That Is. She is Quantum." ~ Flamingo Gypsy

My hope is that this course will fulfill the following:
If you don't know by now, I am big on Story. Yet there is a real problem with a lot of the myths of old. Even the ones I love wake me up at night with a fright and a real concern for the impact they have on our unconscious. The sacrifice of the innocent feminine and the earth, issues with purity/virginity, the demonization of the feminine, anti-sensuality, normalization of violence, enslavement, rescue, conquest, subordination, injustice, elitism, the death of mothers and the supremacy of the masculine is extreme and pervasive in the mythology of most of our ancient cultures. (Sigh)
These patterns go way way back and are present in Greek, Roman, Celtic, Pagan, Egyptian, and Asian mythology just to name a few. Not to mention more recent stories from the past few thousand years in Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. Even if you don't participate, or read these stories, you are impacted as it is invisible and in the culture. And. Your soul knows all about it, even if she isn't saying. She needs a medium to speak into. Painting and writing IS that medium.
While you might say that myths aren't real life if you look at the rates of death and violence against women it is clearly the most dangerous pandemic the world has ever seen. It is embedded in our culture, our religions, our marriage structures, and our work life. Story and government continue to insist women are secondary, and Black, Indigenous and Women of Color are the most extreme victims of this mentality. This must transition but we can't wait for the organizations, religions, and social structures to change it one day. We need to change it within ourselves as women in 2021. Musea is a conscious force for this transition. And I have not ceased to work on this for 27 years.
We will approach this in RITUAL by looking at the themes in the myths we tell, and then creating, moon by moon the myths of the future that honor all genders and colors as equal and celebrated. As well as beginning to see our lives as infused with mindfulness that up-levels into the sacred space as a ritual. This course is a foundation of my heart and body in motion with the best of what I have to share, along with those joining me to offer this experience, especially Jenafer C. Owen who brings all the content deeper through journaling practice.
Let's gather and write and imagine a future that we are in love with. My teacher and mother of my heart, Sue Hoya Sellars used to say, "Being an artist is SO romantic" and indeed it is. You could also just think of this year as a time to fall in love...Shall we? Becoming an artist as a core life path for the Soul can be an invitation to falling in love with creation, consciousness, creativity, connection and community.

Ritual happens when you pick the Muse up at the corner cafe and invite her to come into the back door of your heart. Then will stars travel down your arm like a flock of wild birds and sprinkle your canvas with inspiration and magic!

Brimming with the quirky enthusiasm that prompted her nom de plume, it is impossible to spend time with Jenafer Joy and not fall in love with yourself, with the whispering of your muse, and with Jena's heartfelt and contagious love of the creative life. Jena has been leading healing & creative arts courses since 2003 and most particularly enjoys tromping about at the juicy intersection of intuition and art. Her Inspired Inquiries are quick playful video nudges (accompanied by good music) that carry you towards your own deep important answers.
With a background in both acupuncture and accounting, Jena is ridiculously suited to being a most steady and linear guide through circuitous imaginal terrain and her specialty is designing and delivering an inspiring curriculum full of engaging art and deep inquiry. Jenafer Joy lives in Mendocino County and teaches almost exclusively online, where she quite enjoys being an “imaginary best friend” to hundreds of women.
In addition to running her courses at www.inspiredinquiries.com, you’ll find her behind the scenes and narrating many Musea.org courses. She has been a director of Cosmic Cowgirls since 2010 and Director of Curriculum for Musea Trainings including the Color of Woman Teacher Training since 2014.
"Jenafer Joy’s Approach is by far the lightest and the deepest method I have experienced. She leads gently but firmly, engaging even my grumpiest parts in the game. A rare gift! She creates a welcome and safe space of private witnessing with her gentle, witty guidance. But she also maintains group energy incredibly well, strengthening synergies and supporting each one of us as if we were truly unique to her and in the world. I have been relying on Jena for my own balance for quite some time now, and she keeps surprising me, with her creativity, with her amazing cultural, spiritual & psychological information, and also with her true generosity of spirit. Dear Jena, hope you know that I wholeheartedly, (and wholebrainly) appreciate you!!!!!" - Anna
Jenafer Joy has been working with Intentional Creativity and alongside Shiloh Sophia for over 11 years. In addition to delivering and directing the major Intentional Creativity courses, Jena regularly contributes her powerful journaling practices to support in deepening and integrating the presented materials. As one student said "Jena's journaling is the honey that makes the medicine go down!" With her playful, surprise driven style Jena brings home the concepts in the course. If you haven't experienced her approach, you will be delighted by the unexpected epiphanies that result from the quick pointed instructions!
Jena will be guiding the journal portion of RITUAL - amplifying your personal ritual work. She will invite you to initiate your journal as a place of ritual and guide you with a process every full moon. The materials list overviews what is needed - think of your journal as a ‘map’ of the material as it is experienced. You will also be writing new mythology inside your journal that goes along with your painting.

Join Cassielle, a long-time Intentional Creativity teacher, as well as Movement facilitator, who will be working with you to embody the teachings of Ritual through simple movement process.
Cassielle Bull is a painter, fabric artist, movement facilitator, and college professor. She has spent the last 40 years of her life teaching others to access creativity and vitality through movement, words, breath, and creative process.
For the last 18 years, Cassie has been co-directing LEAPYEAR, a cutting edge alternative year of college that alternated weeklong retreats focused on the evolution of the whole human being with traveling abroad to further this exploration, encouraging a shift from consuming to generating. While doing this, Cassie continued to deepen her own relationship to wholeness, training in Intentional Creativity with Shiloh Sophia and developing deeper insights into how movement, breath, and sound contribute to the health of the whole human being. She coached individuals through healing crises, life transitions, and shifting from the general malaise of the times to a vibrant and alive sense of engaging the movement of the soul to navigate life portals.
Cassielle’s journey moves through decades of expressing herself through the creative acts of dancing, baking, parenting, gardening, loving, grieving, living out loud until the moment came, a distinct moment in her life span when she needed a creative form that was mutable and yet tangible, emergent yet stable, transformative and yet static, something she could share with others beyond the present moment. She began writing and then she began painting. In 2017 Cassie began working with Shiloh Sophia and Intentional Creativity, becoming a 2017 graduate of Color of Woman and a lifelong student, practitioner, and teacher of Intentional Creativity. Her passion for movement as a healing modality broadened, deepened, and became more dimensional as she found her way to the canvas in ways previously only felt and moved in her body practices. As Intentional Creativity became an integral part of her teaching, she witnessed the depth and breadth of her student's capacity for wholeness expand and begin to emerge in tangible forms, capturing what was moving inside of them through color, words, shapes, and museful wanderings onto the canvas.
Cassielle currently lives and works in Knights Valley. She works with individuals and groups, does ‘soul ‘paintings in conjunction with a movement session, and loves a conversation that opens and forwards what is needed, today, for our soul’s evolution.
We live in a fragmented state most of the time with our minds taking us one direction, our feelings perhaps another, our jobs, the virtual world, the tasks of daily living often serving to fragment and isolate us even further into acting parts rather than being wholeness. What if, over the course of this coming year, this thirteen moon cycle, you began to learn to listen to the wisdom of your moving body through intentional listening and embodied practices?
Join Cassie during the thirteen moons of Ritual in an exploration of energetic phenomenon using the wisdom of your moving body to understand how energy moves through your body to catalyze transformative change in your lives. Through simple movement practices, you will learn to move at the interface between the visible (that which we can touch) and invisible realms, learning to listen to what your body is saying and break the code of silence between you and your most powerful ally, your moving body.
Each movement moon will allow us to explore and learn how feelings, memories, energy, and our connection to the larger reality moves through our bodies, exploring the relationship between self and self (as healer), self and other (as part of a whole), self and creativity (as change maker), and self in relationship to right action in the world. The awareness of this begins to be a moving base from which a new story may arise.
These thirteen moving moons, held within the creative matrix of Ritual with Shiloh Sophia and Jenafer, become a doorway into a more tangible and direct felt sense of your bodies. It is about accessing genuine impulses, learning how to move and emerge in authentic and integrated ways while developing capacity in different aspects of embodied human wholeness. Through intentional movement practices, our awareness grows as we deepen into movement as a Listening practice, as ritual, as a healing art, as awakened awareness, as an inquiry into who we are, how we occupy space, and what beliefs and stories are held in our bodies that stop us from being as whole as we can be in any given moment!
You are invited to join Cassie for an in-depth study of your moving body if you wish to:

Dr. Martin Shaw joins us in MUSEA's RITUAL 2021 to share his work and wisdom in relation to his latest book ALL THOSE BARBARIANS. Watch the video below to learn about it.
WRITER, TEACHER, MYTHOLOGIST
BIO from: https://schoolofmyth.com/about/
Dr. Martin Shaw is regarded as one of the most outstanding new teachers of the mythic imagination. Visiting fellow at Schumacher college in the U.K., he has also devised and lead the Oral Tradition course at Stanford University in the U.S.
Author of the award-winning; A Branch From The Lightning Tree, Snowy Tower, and the upcoming Scatterlings, he leads a bustling schedule of conferences, gatherings, and wilderness retreats over several continents. For the last decade, he has led the small hedge-school on the Celtic fringe of Britain, tucked into the south-easterly curve of Dartmoor national park. He has contributed to Desmond Tutu’s leadership program at Oxford University. Much of his teaching arises from a four year period living in a tent on a succession of English hills.
His translations of Celtic folklore and poetry (with Tony Hoagland) are forthcoming in Poetry International, The Mississippi Review, Poetry Magazine, Orion, and the Kenyon Review. Recent collaborations have included “Old Gods” with Mark Rylance and Paul Kingsnorth. Martin is also a patron of the UK charity, Earth Restoration Service.
Milagros is an Intentional Creativity Teacher who will provide BIWOC and Art Doctor support to our students in the iMUSEA App.
My Name is Milagros Suriano-Rivera, I am an artist and Color of Woman 2019 Graduate and Intentional Creativity® Teacher. I am a mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, lover and creative catalyst for healing. As a Latina Woman of Color, color in my DNA passed on by my ancestors. My creative path started over 25 years ago when. as a single mom in the 90’s I started making jewelry out of cardboard and paper for friends and family because I could not afford to buy gifts. I had no idea that what I was doing was collaborating with the universe and creating my medicine basket. Creativity literally fed my family and I came to truly understand the meaning of Proverbs 10:4 “a slack hand causes to poverty” meant, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.
My art is influenced by many talented artists, however, it was the teachings by Shiloh Sophia regarding the use of creativity to catalyze and awaken oneself did i realize that my creative voice is where my power lies and my life is richer for it. When I reflect on my creative journey in the context of my life, I know creativity is about embracing my shadow, creating my own light, and dance between the two so that I may be a prism to bring healing to the world which is what I am here to cause and create.
Bayo Akomolafe is the Chief Curator of The Emergence Network, a speaker, author, fugitive neo-materialist com-post-activist public intellectual, and Yoruba poet. But when he takes himself less seriously, he is a father to Alethea and Kyah, and the grateful life-partner to Ej as well as the sworn washer of nightly archives of dishes.
Bayo Akomolafe (Ph.D.) was born in 1983 into a Christian home, and to Yoruba parents in western Nigeria. Losing his diplomat father to a sudden heart complication, Bayo became a reclusive teenager, seeking to get to the “heart of the matter” as a response to his painful loss. After meeting with traditional healers as part of his quest to understand trauma, mental wellbeing, and healing in new ways, his deep questions and concerns for decolonized landscapes congealed into a life devoted to exploring the nuances of a “magical” world “too promiscuous to fit neatly into our fondest notions of it.”
Now living between India and the United States, Bayo is a father of Alethea Aanya and Kyah Jayden Abayomi. He is married to EJ, his dear life-partner of Indian descent.
In 2014, Dr. Akomolafe was invited to be the Special Envoy of the International Alliance for Localization, a project of Ancient Futures (USA). He left his lecturing position in Covenant University, Nigeria to help build this Alliance. Bayo has been Visiting Professor at Middlebury College, where he taught on his own formulated concepts of ‘transraciality’ and postactivism. He has also taught at Sonoma State University (CA, USA), Simon Fraser University (Vancouver, Canada), and Schumacher College (Totnes, England) – among other universities around the world. He currently lectures at Pacifica Graduate Institute, California, and University of Vermont, Burlington, Vermont. He sits on the Board of many organizations including Science and Non-Duality.
The convener of the concepts of ‘postactivism’, ‘transraciality’ and ‘ontofugitivity’, Bayo is a widely celebrated international speaker, teacher, public intellectual, essayist and author of two books, These Wilds Beyond our Fences: Letters to My Daughter on Humanity’s Search for Home (North Atlantic Books) and We Will Tell our Own Story: The Lions of Africa Speak. He is also the Executive Director and Chief Curator for The Emergence Network and host of the online postactivist course, ‘We Will Dance with Mountains’.
Co-Founder of Musea, Jonathan McCloud, will share his wisdom about Intentional Creativity as a healing modality and also how Intentional Creativity relates to science.
Jonathan McCloud, our resident scholar and Chef is a poet and artist at heart. He was born in a small West Virginia town and was built for adventure. He spent two tours jumping out of airplanes for the US Air Force and retired from service from injuries. He found himself swept into the glamor and gastronomy of the food world and worked for top chefs around the world serving fine cuisine. He owned several restaurants as well as earned two advanced degrees with honors in business.
After nearly 30 years of developing his career in hospitality, he changed his life path to take up life as an artist, photographer, and poet, as well as working for Burning Man, Couch Surfing, and more in the artistic, digital, and business startup realms.
He met Shiloh Sophia in 2012 and the two of them struck up a quantum conversation resulting in a lifelong partnership and working together in business with Intentional Creativity through various technology platforms. He now brings his savvy to her world as the man behind the curtain'. Described by his colleagues as an alchemist, Mr. McCloud co-founded their not-for-profit, the Intentional Creativity Foundation, prepares cuisine for participants around the world with his culinary genius, and creates supper clubs for eccentrics. He serves as the CFO of the organization.
