Intentional Creativity has emerged as a lineage that goes back to Eleanor Roosevelt. Under her guidance and invitation, Master Teacher, Lenore Thomas Straus, created art that imaged ideas with intention during the New Deal. Lenore taught Sue Hoya Sellars and Sue Hoya Sellars taught Shiloh Sophia. 

The roots of Intentional Creativity were nurtured within Shiloh's upbringing in a family and community of women. The creative and activist environment she was raised in had a great impact on her work as an artist and blooming educator. She knew from a young age that she would help to end violence among women and children through creative expression. 

Shiloh Sophia has gone on to teach the Intentional Creativity Method to tens of thousands. Her work has resulted in presentations raising awareness at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women for the last 6 years. With the help of her husband, Jonathan, the pair brought live-streaming to the educational platform in 2013 - providing access for the first time to a global audience. 

Musea has served up to 15,000 students per month, certified over 360 leaders, and continues to grow its online community called the Online Red Thread Cafe Classroom. Serving nearly 7,000 women creatives through providing a private container where women are free to share their creative works in progress, ask for witnessing and lift each other up. Musea also offers monthly virtual Red Thread Circles via Zoom that reach thousands of women a month, forging connections near and far.

Teachers have become certified around the world in the Intentional Creativity methodology. The reach of this work is far beyond our knowing. We are honored to be working with teachers, schools, wellness and mental health centers, prison systems and any place awakening consciousness through creativity.
