Shiloh Sophia explains the exploration you'll take when you attend Dance with the Critic and the Muse.
Would you like to change your default settings?
Do you find yourself saying, I’m on a healing journey — yet fail to cross the bridge where you can say, I’m healed enough, and can finally move on?
Or perhaps you want to change your “story” about who you are and where you’re going, but just can’t seem to budge...
If you’re nodding yes, we invite you to embark on a liberating journey through the portal of your bold, boundless imagination, to experience a rapid, magical shift in your perception of who you are.
When practiced over time, this shift can help rewire the neural pathways in your brain, changing how you see yourself — and expand your capacity to experience a healing “realignment” in your life.
This transformative shift will prove to be a deeply liberating experience and can also be enlivening and JOYFUL every step of the way!
The truth is, we can soar past our limiting beliefs and lifestyle — and that nagging inner critic that keeps us there — to experience magical moments of suspended animation, where the greater world and our worries around it fall away, and our curious, creative, playful self, the Muse, is let loose.
Your Muse can guide you to experience the unfolding of your self-expression, where you can break free of confining expectations and joyously dance with your soul. It’s an opening into a life rich with creativity, vitality, and soul-satisfying fulfillment.
AND, no matter who you are, who you believe you are, or what you desire to do or be in the world, this heart-and-soul-powered energy can move smoothly through you to actively engage a more fully expressed you.
Watch as Shiloh Sophia shares her story that sparked the evolution of her relationship with the critic and the muse.
Are you game to PLAY as you transform?
We believe consciousness is a choice you can make. But first you have to know how to do it! We can show you! In four weeks you will think SO differently about how you speak to yourself, most people can't believe it took them this long!
Come along… for a Dance with the Critic and the Muse!
"I experienced an opening, a blossoming...The muse has moved forward, sashaying her way to the front, playfully creating a joyful life! I would recommend this course to anyone who wishes to create with intent, inquiry and to learn the dance of the critic and the muse! Shiloh Sophia is a gifted healer and artist, and I look forward to working with her again." ~ Rhonda
"This course has changed my life! It has changed the way I talk to myself and has given me an exciting new positive perspective! I am way more confident and self-assured. I don't let the critic keep me down with fear, doubt, and shame. If you are feeling stuck in your life and looking for more creative expression, but don't know where or how to start, I highly recommend you join in!" ~ Karen

The course is here like a map, but you are the cosmic pilgrim and only you can reach the place of deepest insight that impacts every single relationship you have. Yes, every single relationship you have is being impacted by your capacity to see, think, feel, and act clearly.
IF who you are inside is not aligned with who you are in your life, there will be discord and incoherency. You may wonder what the Critic and the Muse have to do with this, and how they are hardwired into the neuro-pathways. But we can’t tell you all the riddles now, because you have to say yes first…. Will you come?

Reflections from past students who have taken the Critic and Muse Adventure!
This course is fascinating! Shiloh is brilliant in the way she integrates the left and right brain, the logical rational brain with the soulful, emotional, intuitive mind and heart... and the inner life with the outer life. By the simple act of pondering an idea or intent, a deep shift can happen in a short amount of time!
~ Stacye from the United States
I have been struggling with my inner critic for a long time. Despite all my efforts to make a shift happen, it wasn't giving the result I was yearning for. This course brought me a practice I can lean on to deepen a connection within myself that I thought was irreconcilable. It brought me more inner peace, the joy of uncovering the muse within me, and a relief to know that I can go back to these practices over and over. I am so grateful.
~ Gabrielle from the United States
This course was exactly what I needed to more fully ground the joy and the love and the healing I've gradually been realizing in my life!
~ Meg from New Zealand
This course helped me to realize how important it is to take time for my own growth and inner communication. This brought me strength and determination in expressing myself in front of others to restructure my time and be able to take care of my own needs.
~ Antonia from Belgium
This course has revolutionized my way of thinking about myself. I befriended my inner child and learned how to love myself. She made me realize creativity is inherent in all of us and shows you how to get in touch with the part of yourself that was either inhibited by teachers or the voice of our critic. She brings her passion, dedication, and FUN to the class.
~ Mary Ann from the United States
I adventured through this course last year and it was instantly life-changing. Wild and beautiful wisdom. A 1000 degree Magic to the bare bone. I am forever and ever grateful to you Shiloh
~ K.H.
Dance of the Critic and the Muse was my first course with Shiloh Sophie and permanently changed my brain. It correlated the left and right into the fierce wisdom they are meant to be. So beautiful and an incredible opening to soar.

My Story about this course and why it is important to me
A message from Shiloh Sophia
Dear One,
Will you pull up a chair and have a cuppa' tea with me? The Muse is requesting your presence.
She wants to know...
What are YOU on the planet to bring? What longs to come forth from within you?
If you aren't sure or if you already know but you haven't been able to bring it into form. This course is pure magic. You have never seen anything like this before.
How can I say that?
Because YOU are the one making the magic - and you haven't made it like this. It's a fresh and real-time transformation.
My calling or gift is to bring about self-awakening and celebration through creativity. Creativity is the fastest, coolest, and least dogmatic approach to direct knowing that myself and many of our students have ever experienced. I have taught our approach called Intentional Creativity, to tens of thousands worldwide. But until this class, I had never taught it without painting.
When the Shift Network invited me to teach a class in January 2019 I was delighted - but there was one caveat. Their community wasn't ready for painting. ARGHHH! What could I bring them when my gift was catalyzed through painting?
So, I taught a course, unlike anything I had ever offered in my teaching career, with only pen and paper. It’s called metacognitive drawing. This kind of drawing is not about skill - this is about the experience of what happens WHEN you are drawing.
The experience ROCKED, some of our events were viewed by over 5,000, and over 300 people came to the class - men and women. AND What happened for me was powerful and life-changing. It and gave rise to a new project. I taught my body of work in 7 Gateways with pen and paper. Then I used what I learned there to create the coaching program called Motherboard.
This is the third time we have offered Dance of the Critic and the Muse. This time we are adding an optional painting part because there are so many painters in the MUSEA community but also, I have something fresh to teach around the United Archetype - One Voice Philosophy. I hope you will come along...
To make the right choices for our lives we have to be able to think.
To know how to think you have to know how to work with your brain.
To work with the intelligence of the brain you need access to the heart.
The Muse, aka the Soul's voice, lives in the domain of love.
We know where she hides the keys.

“The Dance of the Critic and the Muse unleashed a whole new way of seeing myself and my role in my life. When it was first presented by the Shift Network it set me on the path of being at cause for the evolution of my own consciousness. Thank you Shiloh Sophia for opening the door for me to uncover the magic sleeping within me." ~ Elica Johnson
Open to the joy of authentic self-expression,
and invite your Muse to dance with you!
Give yourself the gift of creativity to become more empowered and confident to live from the voice and wisdom of the Muse!
If you have always wanted to be more self-expressed and were concerned that you weren't talented or creative enough - say goodbye to that old story. See ya'!
