MESSAGE FROM SHILOH SOPHIA

Dear One, I am really glad you are here.

I made this for you for these times. I want to begin by sharing with you the promise of our training:

Self-initiation through Intentional Creativity Consciousness allows you to be peaceful and free in who you are and how you create your life.

And for those who choose, teach others how to do the same. This is the Quickening of understanding WHO YOU ARE and WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF CREATING this lifetime.

Intentional Creativity® Consciousness is available to all who choose and are willing to be at their evolutionary edge by accessing the flow state and soul codes. The Quickening Training offers a life-altering Curriculum called Altar .::. Alter with a potent combination of neuroscientifically based flow state process, trauma-inspired practice, wildly liberating self-expression, and nature-based altar building.

The Quickening happens when we choose to rebirth ourselves right in the middle of our lives as they are. Whether life feels unbearable or you love your life, the Quickening occurs when you choose self-initiation. Yet self-initiation is not a mental idea; it is action-based, hands-and-heart devotion to living a life you can call your own.

No one can really do the work for you ... You get to initiate yourself, but you don't have to do it alone. Lots of things are uncertain right now, but what is not uncertain is MUSEA, our community of healers, teachers, and creatives. We aren't going ANYWHERE, and we have a 500-year plan to be together. Join us on the Mothership for the adventure of a lifetime!

The Quickening Training is an invitation to a 5-month Vigil of finding Peace within through altering your path by CHOICE. Access to Peace in your relationship and who you are will enable you to bring Peace into all of your relationships. Let's gather together in 2025 to do the sacred work of Becoming in collaboration with the Sacred Feminine and Self-Expression principles. This training does not offer concepts and mindfulness without action... We are inviting you to an embodied spiritual practice that can be an ecstatic discipline. We will show you how and invoke the joy!

My life has been one of devotion and service. For 30 years, I have guided this work for self-leadership while holding physical sanctuary spaces for women to gather at our Mothership Campus in Sonoma, California.

We call this state of arrival Intentional Creativity Consciousness, a state of being available to all. Yet most accessible to women who walk between the worlds of the logical and the intuitive. Women who are on the verge of REALLY answering their Soul's calling.

Is it time to alter your path? Then, let's build life-altering altars together with love at the center of our choices. I will begin this invitation by introducing you to our Altar .::. Alter Curriculum, where you can really SEE what you will be getting your hands and hearts into, all the while singing and playing drums with Lavender Grace.

Not to be cavalier, but really, what else can you do but become more and more of who you are and bring satisfaction to your embodied Soul journey this lifetime? This embodiment enables you to create your relationship with the world you dream of living within. We must be in right relationship with ourselves if we want to be in right relationship with the natural world and all of Creation. You coming? "

With love,

Shiloh Sophia

Presenting our
ALTAR .::. ALTER Curriculum
A 5 Month Vigil for Women Who Walk Between the Worlds

Guided by Curate Shiloh Sophia
Sacred Song Offerings by Lavender Grace

APPLY BY 12/21/24 to receive scholarships and savings.

We who want to take ACTION toward what we care about are in
The Quickening.

We who want to discover the depth of our innate wisdom and express ourselves through the arts and in our communications are in
The Quickening.

We who are concerned for the future of our species and the planet and want to share our unique gifts, let us gather ourselves into
The Quickening.

We who are choosing to become conscious through the template of Intentional Creativity Consciousness are
The Quickening.

An emergent spiritual path of ancient-future values rooted in intimate ritual has arisen. Mystery Schools rise up at the crossroads of change like the one we are experiencing now.

This is an invitation to a Vigil of Soul Recovery and Chosen Consciousness. We are gathering the women who walk between the worlds and who have messages moving... Let's talk about
"what you are noticing, hearing, seeing, feeling..."

Are you called to realize your deepest innate knowings this lifetime?

The four Archetypes of the Oracle will shed light on the wisdom of the women who walk between worlds. What is it that you are HERE ON EARTH to Communicate? What is your message? Can you even communicate it without consciousness?

Starting in January, MUSEA's 5-Month Quickening Training engages in intimate rituals through the arts of the Oracle. The Oracle is the one who carries the wisdom of the past, present, future, and in-betweens. She has an Altar for Alchemy that Alters the potentials she encounters in the world around her that she wishes to transform. She is a shape-shifter, dream-walker, revolutionary-maker, altar builder, orator, and communicator. She engages with Intentional Creativity Consciousness for herself and guides others into the pathway of awareness.

Together, we will center our awareness on the ones who tend the earth, the air, the fire, the water, and stardust—women who walk in companionship with the earth and feel the Quickening taking place in the world around them and within their own hearts and bodies.

Self-Leadership is an Art

Transformation is available through the arts, flow state, neuroscience, and intentional community. This is our specialty here at MUSEA: a powerful interconnection with what calls you toward what you love. Everyone in our community practices self-leadership as an art, with conscious self-expression as our primary process of exploration in our inner and outer world experiences. We want to know what YOURS is to speak, to know, and to communicate with the rest of the world around you.

Self-leadership doesn't happen alone and doesn't happen without deep practice. MUSEA can offer the depth of learning, experience, and true change you seek. We have been providing training since 2010 in the healing arts of Intentional Creativity. With over 600 graduates worldwide, our educational curriculum meets the needs of today's medicine women who are seeking additional skills personally and professionally in the arts of expression and communication. Whether you dabble in the arts of healing or see clients, each of us carries the medicine for our times. We trust you will know if you are called to The Quickening.

Activate your wisdom through ceremonial action to embody the Wisdom-Keeper that you are. The path of the Wisdom-Keeper will bring you joy, direction, and a capacity to navigate the Great Turning while listening to your true voice (instead of the influences around you). You have a message, and you can feel it moving in your bones, in your dreams, in your circles, and in your discomfort with how things are unfolding in the world around you. Lots of things are 'not okay' with you.

Is this for you?

If the Oracle archetypes of the Prophetess, Priestess, and Painter call to you, the chances are you are a Wisdom-Keeper who is in the process of realizing her innate gifts. Let's reveal them through the arts; let Soul speak through you.

If you are someone who is already very far along in the revealing of your gifts, The Quickening will offer you a chance to bring those gifts into FORM.

As in... a big ole' painting received through intuition, a 44-card oracle deck, and the building of a physical altar - these are ALL MANIFEST FORMS in the VISIBLE WORLD of your INVISIBLE World.

If you are a healer or educator, you can share all the gifts we bring with those you work with. The training will offer clarification, definition, and a teaching pathway to bring the gifts of your wisdom forward.

You can choose to do the training for your own purposes or become certified and join our global Guild of Intentional Creativity Certified Educators and Healers.

You choose the path of education to arrive at your Quickening; you can do it on your own time, and the materials are yours to keep.

If you are called to release the pain of not knowing who you are, what you are here for, and what it's all about, join us.

If you are inspired to discover a deeper calling that speaks to the depth of your wisdom, yet you need tangible tools to bring it to life, we've got you covered.

In the Wise Words of Joanna Macy about the Great Turning - we can all see the place on our collective earth-path where we have entered a zone of danger, great concern, and fear. We get to choose to be a part of turning the great turning or to be at the cause of it happening to us. How will you alter your path?

"The Great Turning is a name for the essential adventure of our time: the shift from the Industrial Growth Society to a life-sustaining civilization. The ecological and social crises we face are caused by an economic system dependent on accelerating growth.

A revolution is underway because people are realizing that our needs can be met without destroying our world. We have the technical knowledge, the communication tools, and the material resources to grow enough food, ensure clean air and water, and meet rational energy needs. If there is a livable world for them, future generations will look back at the epochal transition we are making to a life-sustaining society. And they may well call this the time of the Great Turning. It is happening now." Joanna Macy

The Quickening is one way to alter your path in community!

ABOUT US

A global community of 10,000 women in a 30-year-old lineage gathers yearly to do our sacred work. A small focus group will come together for this training, The Quickening. These are the women who deeply want to practice their own path and carry the gifts of Intentional Creativity forward. The Quickening is what happens for you personally on the journey of the Great Turning—your part in the awakening.

The Quickening is a rebirth in your Soul's timeline, where you can step more fully into who you are, what you are called to become, and what form the medicine you are bringing reveals. And all along the way, there is song, dance, and celebration for being alive!

Expression and the Healing Arts reveal your innate and intuitive wisdom. The 'messaging' you are carrying with you this lifetime offers perspective on your path that you can use to become embodied, conscious, and joyful.

You are invited to embody and engage with an emergent Spiritual Path for our times through four Oracle Archetypes and to collaborate with energy at the speed of light, becoming matter. Action in form is at hand.

What is the message you are here to communicate? What is yet to be revealed through you? A Mystery School is when and where the mystics come together to share our offerings with one another and to refine the medicine we are carrying. It is time to build an altar to alter the future we are co-creating by how we show up in the present with our presence. We have been waiting for you and are ready to Welcome you to your own Quickening!

The Quickening utilizes the
ALTAR .::. ALTER Curriculum to Awaken Our Initiates

Each Initiate Will

Create an Oracle Card Deck for Inspiration

Build Alchemical Altars to Alter the Path

Make Visionary Medicine Paintings with Devotion
Learn the 5 Steps of Intentional Creativity Consciousness®

All the while,
Drumming and Sing Our Voices Alive with Lavender Grace through song and frame-drumming, the ancient art of women.

All along the journey, each of us will develop our unique message for our times.

If you are reading this right now, it is likely...

You are someone who carries gifts, stories, medicines, and codes of creation. The world needs your gifts, yes. But more than ever, you need to know your own gifts clearly. To see them, to feel them, to know them intimately. We cannot just spend more time 'thinking about' what we are called to do. Planning it. Building a business around it. Affirming it at each moon phase and astrological shift.

Let's actually ALTER your path now to create a different future than the one you have been imagining. Let us offer all the broken and almost-there dreams onto the altar to alter the energy and move forward in a fresh, clear way.

YOU WILL BUILD BY HAND THE ART THAT SHOWS YOU THE PATH of your most profound wisdom-keeping ways. You don't need to have any experience with art. This isn't about being good at it, but it IS about bringing your visions to life in real-time, in FORM.

Let the energy of your mind become the matter you create.

The Experience of the Quickening is the Ultimate Pattern. Interrupt To Self-Initiate Your True Path

You are invited to join the Sisterhood at the Crossroads and consider how you wish to live your life, design your path, and feel in your body. Imagine flow state meets intimate ritual meets feeling better in your body. You have been looking for a clear sign of what is coming next, and here it is. This is the Quickening.

A Quickening occurs when someone is called to awaken, ready to shed the old skins and step into intuition, empowerment, and your Soul's potential. When Soul speaks, Art emerges.

Make your life an Offering

Give it to the Altar of Creation

Don't hold back the sweetness

Come with an undefended heart

On your way to the altar, let go
Let go of your cherished beliefs

Surrender to the mystery to Arrive

Whole

You do not have to be healed

You do not need to be holy

Give up perfection and allow

Your gifts are not just for you

They are for all of us to enjoy

But first, you must love yourself

Love yourself enough to listen

In the solitude of your silence

self-expression will emerge

Will you come to the quickening?

Your life as Ecstatic Offering
THE ALTER .::. ALTER Curriculum

The Altar ..::.. Alter Curriculum is taught in The Quickening Training, which invites Creating a Culture where you live life as an Ecstatic Offering of Gratitude, Truth, Awareness, Aliveness, and True Freedom within. Together, we will set forth on an Ancient-Future Vigil towards the Cosmic...::...Earthy access pathways are needed to navigate the Great Turning. And With joy, no matter what, and unreasonable hope (without spiritual bypassing!) You get to choose how you experience your life going forward! Will you?

Our Life as an Ecstatic Offering will be devoted to
Intimate Rituals of Self-Leadership for Mystics
that are deeply somatic - meaning
YOU WILL MAKE THINGS WITH YOUR HANDS and HEARTS!

by choosing a project to channel your energies and learnings into.

Each Intimate Ritual is an act of Personal Revolution. All Intentional Creativity acts of Personal Revolution translate into acts of Community Transformation and Care for Creation. Many of us feel called to serve, yet there are times when sacred space-time is calling to you not to turn inward or go quiet but to nourish yourself at the deepest root level in the company of a council that is also doing its sacred work.

For the Altar part - Yes! You will be working with an actual table, or bookcase, or chair, or dresser to hand-paint an altar for your ceremonial works and dreams. Sand-paper anyone?

What would it feel like if your life was lived as an Ecstatic Offering? To some, that may seem outrageous to consider. And, indeed, it is. Yet it is our choice how we choose to live our lives. To practice a Spiritual Path that honors each of us yet still invites us into the Community and the Collective.

Many of us during these times, especially healers, intuitives, guides, and coaches... translate = MYSTICS, are struggling to find our footing in unfamiliar terrain. Who we used to be and how we used to work with others has molted; our snake skins are on the floor, and our feathers are floating in the air. Many of us keep getting further out on the 'fringe' of one circle or another. And those who 'make a living' with their gifts have found that the hustle to share our wares is no longer calling to us when it has become an extractive game.

The SOLUTION to Soul Recovery is DEVOTIONAL PRACTICE. And the ANSWER of how to be for our times is simple: How can I be more myself in any given moment? But to be ourselves, we must practice discovering who we really are. The gifts each of us carries and the specific wisdom for our times that you have bundled in your mind, heart, and hands are ready to be upgraded and updated. Since no one can do that but you, you need time for yourself. To know what these gifts are and to offer these gifts on the Altar of Creation, we need practice, and that is where the Four Oracle Archetypes come in to shed light on our spiritual path. Each one will be worked with through the arts and also through the Teachings Wheel.

This is where and when the practice of Ecstatic Discipline that we call Intentional Creativity and the Mentorship of Curate Shiloh Sophia comes in. Shiloh Sophia, for many years, known as 'The Rev,' is a Priestess working between worlds who has been summoning women into a circle for 30 years. She will invite you to an ancient-future path of practice, yes, a new spiritual paradigm that is not dogmatic, has room for all your kinks, and shows a way forward that is worth traveling. You do not need to travel alone anymore. You get to be part of a Council.

We will build actual Altars to Alter consciousness and inform a spiritual path that speaks to all levels of who you are.

During times of great change, mystery schools rise up in between in between traditions, in between paradigms, and in between worlds. A mystery school is where and how the initiates gather to experience and share in ways like this:

ancient and futuristic sacred wisdoms applied to your life
ritualistic ceremonies of embodied experience in community
inter-connections with humans, the Divine, and Earth
intersection of the mystical and the practical and how it plays
activism and mythology and the stories of these times

Intentional Creativity Consciousness IS the awareness that arises when someone works with self-expression as the path to self-awareness.

If you meet the Mystery School Requirements above, you are welcome to apply and interview!

Applications are open through 12/21/24.

Time: We begin January 1 for five months. We have weekly live and recorded gatherings.

Delivery: Private App, Zoom, Livestream, and Email weekly, both live and recorded.Investment: Our Certification Trainings at Musea offer incredible value that goes far beyond the financial investment; they offer a change in life, identity, and pattern. While the primary focus is to teach you to articulate your unique gifts, embody your wisdom-keeper archetype, and create a powerful body of work - you define the real focus. The personal transformation you’ll experience is truly life-changing, and there is no going back. Many of our students have shared how this journey has profoundly impacted their lives, setting them on a new and inspiring journey that looks almost nothing like the life they had before.

For over 10 years, we’ve kept our tuition around $6,500. During Priority Enrollment, we offer $1000 scholarships to those who need support. If you pay in full, you will save $1,000, bringing your total investment to $4,500 - $5,500. Flexible financing is also available with our in-house financial aid.

This training is not just an investment in your innate gifts of knowing but in your future and the future of our planet. Don’t miss this chance to answer the call of the Quickening! It is designed for women who walk between the worlds, who see things others do not see, and who answer the call to their Soul Awakening.

You will create a 44-card Oracle Deck of your own teachings and the core Intentional Creativity teachings that inform our Spiritual Path as you understand them.

A place to work without interruption where you can close the door.
Canvas, Watercolor paper, pens, journals, acrylic paint, and a table that may need sandpaper. And, of course, tea and candles.
A Frame Drum
Willingness to turn off your phone and have social media fasts and TV fasts.
A pattern interrupt for your food and sleep patterns includes 6 mason jars and the removal of clocks from the bedroom.
Fuzzy robe, slippers, or socks for painting (or whatever makes you feel cozy).

The cost for materials, depending on your taste and what you already have, could be $350-1000

TEACHING WHEEL for a Spiritual Path

Here is a look at a Teaching Wheel Template we will work from in the Altar.::.Altar Curriculum. We need a solid spiritual foundation rooted in truth and community, forming our basis of care that has been shaped for over 30 years of working in community. This is a dogma-free Spiritual Path that can work in collaboration with almost any tradition you choose to work with. The Oracle Archetypes you work with will offer you a personal perspective on the teaching wheel and how it can work for you.

Shiloh Sophia's Story:

I was blessed to grow up in a family of women creatives, especially in the good company of my two moms, Sue and Caron. They offered me the context of relationship, story, and being an artist. They were both artists, so naturally, I became one, too.

When I was in my twenties, I left my corporate gig and corporate education to pursue a life of art and ceremony. What happened in that year of mentorship with my moms changed the shape of my life forever. Now, I work with women, sharing the gifts of this work and teaching them to make their lives an offering, too. I look forward to gathering with you.

Dearest Shiloh Sophia,

Any words I may offer only limit the experience and collapse the potential that is Animystica.

My gratitude is immeasurable.

There is no return to any former version of myself without the concomitant splitting open to reveal Wild Truths extracted from disempowering imposed and exposed lies.

The Magic made manifest through the portals of our paintings cannot be expressed in words. I FEEL it in my BONES.

For all those future Red Thread sisters who may attend…

Do you feel a deep hunger in your bones? An ache to make the connections you know are always there but hidden just under the surface? Do you crave bringing your molting self into the Light with every Revealed layer celebrated? Surrounded and supported by a worldwide sisterhood to witness your becoming?

Animystica provided a lifeline for me through turbulent days and dark nights of the Soul: Each layer of paint a stripping away of lifetimes of lies, beliefs that no longer serve, cultural, and familial and relational restrictions upon my Wild Self. Animystica honors ALL the pieces of me—encourages a re•membering of my essence.

It has not been easy to step into my empowered Self. In fact, it requires discipline and accountability—a safe container and community in which to do the work.

You, Shiloh Sophia, and the Animystica Sisterhood helped me birth my book! Actually, doing all the inner and outer work required in the course pulled me from a tar•pit of immobilizing grief. And to MEET and HUG some of my Red Thread Sisters, and call and respond with the Circle ⭕️… an invaluable gift for life.

Yes. Yes. I have some awesome, awe-inspiring paintings as prized pieces, too—Works filled and brimming over with meaning. And an insatiable desire to share this material and the Intentional Creativity process with all who feel called to the work (and play!)

And YOU. Grace•FULL. Ever•willing to step into the spotlight as a guide to share your wisdom and talents in authentic ways while un•willing to remain centered as a “guru.” Uniquely gifted at a dance of boundaries, pulling us into the inclusive Circle dance while pushing us to create our own circles without you at the center. Important distinctions.

I’ll say it again…
My gratitude is immeasurable.

Thank you, Shiloh Sophia!
If I can ever be of service … I am here.

All my love and light,
~Trace S.
