The videos are about 90 minutes of content with Intentional Creativity. You can take as long as you need to work on the process. Consider a whole day or more. You can participate in time with Shiloh Sophia, but she is delivering the content in one sitting - and it will take longer for you to do your own work. No need to rush. Consider just watching her with a cup of tea and then doing the work on your own. 

These videos are yours to download and keep to do at your own pace.

No experience needed. At the most basic level, just bring colored markers and paper. Big paper like a drawing pad larger than 11X14. To dive deeper, use 22X30 watercolor paper and watercolors or acrylics. Shiloh Sophia will be painting with a rainbow of acrylic paints. Painting as self expression makes the work deeper because there is more flow. 

Dear One, 

I want to just pause here and welcome you to this Intentional Creativity experience. I am Shiloh Sophia and this is a picture of me and my teacher Sue Hoya Sellars. She, along with my mother Caron, taught me from an early age about caring for myself, my body, my heart, my mind and using creativity to nurture my soul. They also taught me about how to share this caring with other women.

At different times in our lives we brought women into our homes - providing shelter from abuse. Providing work and community. Caring for women who have been hurt is part of my personal path. Everything that I have done has a root in the desire to end suffering.

Calling a global circle for addressing scars is daring for me, as I won't be able to hold your hands, look into your eyes and offer you a cup of tea. Plus I am afraid it may make things worse in some cases to look at it. But what happens if we don't? And we bury it? Telling our story for others is one part of the healing journey - but there is more about how you live with the story in you physical and energy body. This won't be about digging up the old stuff. But about acknowledging it and moving forward. We can't just move forward in our minds. It must also be in energy and in form.  

This IS Colorful Scars - to make form and move energy for places that have been hidden and stuck. I can't tell you it will help, I hope it will. Many thousands of women who work with Intentional Creativity claim that it does help - a lot. I am grateful for the chance to invite you and serve my beatiful colorful community in this way. 

There comes a point in our lives when there is no choice left but to heal. But how? This is an invitation to transform our wounds into colorful scars. 

A 9-part poem from Shiloh Sophia calls us to action, calls out the abuse and invites us to claim ourselves as we are. 

Shiloh has worked with thousands of women and brings the collective voice of the feminine into this long style poem.

 Inspired by the events in our world, and specifically the changes in the United States in 2017-2018, the time has come for chosen transformation and reclamation. 

The line "I am not a couch" woke her up one morning, and this, is what happened. "We have long worn our scars on the inside, hidden within ourselves. Doing our best to hide, to not allow them to show up on the outside. We didn’t want to be exposed, judged, blamed and not believed. Our souls bear the marks of re-membering what was lost. We have been shaped, girdled, silenced, fragmented and shamed into looking good..."

Colorful Scars ~ Letter to the sisterhood of women!

We have long worn our scars
on the inside, hidden within ourselves

Doing our best to hide, to not allow
them show up on the outside

We didn’t want to be exposed,
judged, blamed and not believed

Our souls bear the marks
of re-membering what was lost

We have been shaped, girdled, silenced,
fragmented and shamed into looking good

It may be hard to speak out in a culture where it is popular to believe you caused your own harm

If you have carried the thought that you, Dear precious soul, have caused your own harm…

This is an invitation to lay it down for good
and to release your grip on self blame

Self blame cloaked as responsibility
has done more damage then we can imagine

Do you see how believing that you called it upon yourself, can keep you from speaking?

The dominant culture keeps this idea in place we know better, and can release ourselves

We have already turned our wounds
into teachings for ourselves and others

Are you ready to let go of this part
of the wounding you carry? Is it time?

When scars are only on the inside
they can take a long time to heal

We can choose to integrate, be witnessed,
be informed and take action

The colorful side of all of these stories
is that the scars are no longer only on the inside

Witness by compassionate hearts
brings color to the shadows which house the wounds

The light emitting from our colorful scars
illuminates the path for those coming after us

A warrior mark, a reminder, a tattoo
of teachings and stories to tell

We won’t forget, yet neither will we
be jailed by the past any longer

To those who would harm, we pray this colorful light

Reaches them too, so they may think again and heal

The freedom to self express is a basic
human right, and we claim this right for ourselves

We won’t proclaim the bright side
We will not dwell in the shadow side either

We see, claim and are authors of the colorful side
We have become She of the Colorful Scar

Signed with a hope for
re-membering our wholeness,

Shiloh Sophia, October 2018
