Applications for the 2023 MUSEA University cohort are currently closed. We will inform our community when the next round of applications begins. We offer global virtual and onsite education on our Northern California campus as well as traveling abroad.

Our creative root system begins over 90 years ago

In the 1930ies a philosophy for creating art with mindfulness was nurtured through the creation of books, sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking woodwork, clay, fiber and fashion design. The approach was passed from hand to hand until it reached our co-founder, Shiloh Sophia McCloud.

For more than two decades Shiloh Sophia has nurtured an Intentional Creativity cultural framework rooted in the teachings of a matriarchal art lineage of storytelling and imagery. With her husband Jonathan McCloud they have stewarded Intentional Creativity is an inter-disciplinary practice weaving creative arts, healing arts somatic sciences, transpersonal psychology and archaeomythology.

Today we are in collaboration with our museum, Intentional Creativity Foundation, 501(c)3, our gallery Musette Atelier and the Intentional Creativity Guild of Creatives to bring you, Intentional Creativity.®

Today MUSEA is home to an inter-generational and multicultural collective of emerging and experienced creatives, healers, and leaders.

The MUSEA community is a global art movement dedicated to self-expression as a method for consciousness and compassion through the arts.

We are one of the world's largest art movements engaging with over 100,000 people by 2005 and today serving tens of thousands of women per month.
