Ritual happens when a walk-in the woods becomes a form of worship. Every footstep is a romantic encounter with the ground you call home. Then will the leaves tell you the color of green they are and how to mix it. If you are particularly attentive and have your notebook, a fairy may come to light on your page, and if you are really lucky she may leave you a present when you least expect it.

Shares from Women who Practice Intentional Creativity

“I feel Intentional Creativity played a huge roll in my healing from cancer....it was my first piece with you that kicked it off....and I feel it allowed me quickly to arise out of a dark place with diagnosis to a positive-minded Knowing to be healed thinking...and opened my mind and spirit to the messages of truth to come through ... healing thought and spirit and thus healing flesh.....my oncologist had no answer for my pathology reports to be so so much lower than when initially diagnosed......I am cancer-free and stay that way........”

“Shiloh McCloud is an exquisite artist, a great teacher, and a healer. In four hours she was able to heal 40 years of emotional wounding that kept me from painting. Her process is amazing. She draws out the spirit within and guides you in expressing your innermost knowing. Since studying with her I have painted on a regular basis and much to my surprise my work has been exhibited purchased, understood, and enjoyed by others. The time you spend with Shiloh is worth every minute of it. Do yourself a favor and pick up that paintbrush.”

~ Chief Luisah Teish

“Intentional Creativity helped me reconnect to and be able to listen to my body. I was completely disconnected from the neck down....believing that my body couldn't keep me safe and my body always failed me. We were in constant conflict with each other and I engaged in behaviors that were unkind and unloving toward her. Intentional Creativity allowed me to access those stories, create dialog and form a loving relationship with my body which has impacted my health in a positive way.”

~ Heidi S. Moondancer

"I have emerged on the other side of hell after being subjected to sexual abuse for 8 yrs of my childhood by extended family members. I kept silent until my 30's; have had years of therapy, searched countless avenues for healing, and with Intentional Creativity, I feel like I have finally come home and into my own arms. I am on my way back to my own wholeness now with tools for healing myself and my family, and am even now reaching out to others."

"I discovered Intentional Creativity in the darkest period of my life - I had just suffered a huge betrayal from my childhood church and my then-husband had cheated on me. This method gave me the tools I needed to survive that period and to finally pursue my own needs and interests. For the first time, I took responsibility for my own life. Three years after my first class, I am working in a field where I get to change lives...Intentional Creativity transformed my life. I don't say that lightly. Through creativity, I was able to reclaim parts of myself I had forgotten and was able to step back into the role of creator of my own future.”

"Intentional Creativity has been a game-changer for me! I was blessed to create a physical healing while participating in one of Shiloh Sophia’s retreats. Recently I had been diagnosed with a serious life-threatening intestinal disorder. During my painting process at the retreat, I purposely decided to ‘place’ it into a container I had painted onto my canvas. As I made each brushstroke I declared: “my illness can live in here now” I approached this with a playful energy and no expectations. In order to truly believe in what I was doing, I even went off of my medication! My illness and symptoms have never returned and it’s been over a year ago! Such is the potential power of Intentional Creativity!"
