Return to who you are when living from your true, embodied self; senses awakened, in harmony and connection to the elements, cycles, trees, earth, and stardust within us.
Connect in deep, intimate relationship with the Mother that is the Mother of All Life: She who nourishes, inspires, grows, and sings with us and all creation in each moment.
Will you explore the Sacred Feminine with us?
Tap into the creative force within— your voice, your words, your body, and your art, co-creating with Life, using Intentional Creativity® to awaken your inner artist, musician, dancer, and poet, inspired and informed by the Living Waters of creation.
Can you feel your intimate kinship with all of Life from that watery womb in the ebbs and flows of the tides, the cycles of the moons and your womb, the rains, and the seasons?
Can you feel the fluid, womb-inspired nature of your creativity calling for expression?
Do you experience the fertile flow of your creativity, free and fully sourced from the Divine Womb, or are there ways that you feel dry, stagnant, or disconnected, seeking to be refreshed, rebirthed, and renewed in Her Sacred Waters?
Women's bodies are intimately connected with the waters on earth and the moon.
The Cosmic Womb of the Divine Mother birthed the Seas, the Womb of Living Waters that held, grew, and birthed every being of creation.
During these times of the great turning, our experience of the Divine Mother in her many forms is more important than ever. In Her loving flow and embrace, we can connect with the ecstasy of creation.
According to research by Dr. Richard Zare at Stanford University, the origins of life may have come from microdroplets of water creating microlightning. Can you imagine sourcing the ancient and powerful process of creation each time that you bless your canvas with water or spray your painting?

"The journey with Red Madonna during the past year has been deep and enriching. For me it was a heart-filled sanctuary of witnessing, holding, sharing, and painting.
It was a sacred place to meet, to come as you are, to partake as you like, to experience and to enjoy the richness of sisterhood, creative expression in image, word, and even song. During this painting journey of discovery where we worked on two paintings, The Celebratrix and the Guardian Angel, our beloved Havi Mandell so devotedly and beautifully led and inspired us. It was also during this time that we were able to celebrate the flow of natural rhythms and celestial cycles together in ceremony. All of this has been such an epic experience and that ongoing for a whole year.
It was so impressive to witness how each of us shifted with life's challenges as well as with our painting's advancement and we grew, each in her own way. I can only highly recommend this course and I have personally already journeyed with Red Madonna at least 6 times! You will definitely come out changed but in a very positive way. My gratitude is great and I bow to Havi and her beautiful team and how they have enriched the space regardless of what showed up. May this Red Thread continue to vibrate ever so strongly as it supports this collective field of goodness."

"Red Madonna has been one of the few places I've found where I could just be myself and feel not only accepted but welcomed and nourished. I love having a place to share my art and experience others' processes and creativity. Whether it's a drawing, painting, music, prose, poetry, or inspiring readings, the heart-warming and spiritual focus of the lessons and sharing continues to be a wonderful source of inspiration and food for my soul."

We live in difficult, uncertain times, marked by fear, violence, anger, and division. It is a time where a rising number of voices are crying out for The Mother as she lives deep within their beings - for compassion, for creative and cohesive communities, for nurturing and tending, and for flow and connection to replace walls and division.
In the very beginning, before our world became what it is now, there were waters, primordial waters, birthed from the womb of the Mother which, in turn, became the womb of all life on earth. We come from these waters. Our womb carries the energy of this greater womb. We are connected to every being of creation through these waters. Our very essence is water - flowing, boundless, healing, deep, life-giving, and part of a wholeness that is ancient, wise and unbreakable. It is impossible to destroy water. It is impossible to destroy The Mother.
“Water carries all life but is beyond time, for it bears in its flow the seeds of future life, as well as the memory of past life. We have lost touch with the magic of water- the freshness of a natural spring, reflections in a mountain lake, the mystery of a sacred well. Water mediates between life and death, between being and not being, and between health and sickness.” Alick Bartholemew
The Red Madonna Sisterhood is ready to welcome you into our sacred waters.
What our Red Madonna Sister's are saying
"The Red Madonna Circle is beyond supportive and so compassionate. It is a safe space to share feelings/thoughts/poems/ and, of course, paintings. The wisdom and love each woman brings to the group nourishes my heart and soul. I am forever grateful for this sacred sisterhood."
~ Patricia Hansen
"I've been with Red Madonna for over 10 years, and I have found it a solace and a haven in the worst and best of times. It offers a consistent and loving painting practice for the expression of the Sacred Feminine, and a sisterhood that one feels beyond the computer and the internet."
~ Valerie Kravette
"Such a sense of love and witnessing, whenever I get here and share myself. The prompts in the painting videos give me courage to try something I may not otherwise, and I'm always very happily surprised by what comes out. It is such an honor and a treasure to share in others' practices here."
~ Rio Alden
The time to honor your relationship with Earth and Living Waters can be blessed by this experience!
Below you can look at some of the images from a past Red Madonna: Sanctuary cohort
Red Madonna Sanctuary is a MUSEA Intentional Creativity® Community working through a Sacred Feminine Archetype we call "The Red Madonna."
The Red Madonna is She who appears in your heart and on your path. The Divine Mother, in her many forms, has appeared worldwide for tens of thousands of years.
We like to imagine that her next appearance is in your own heart. We explore Her and our relationship with Creation through devoted common practices, including presence, painting, and prayer, and tracking the moon's phases through our delivery of teachings. We have gathered every moon since December 2011 and focused on different themes and frameworks.
Alongside our teachings, we extend the sanctuary of a Sisterhood Membership. This is a space where we gather in our Red Tent, a safe haven for all to be and explore their unique spiritual paths. Here, we offer loving support, prayer, inspiration, and deep presence, all informed by intentionally creative practices, fostering a sense of nurturing and care.
Your Red Madonna experience includes Cura Council, where we practice ceremonies that can begin, further, and sustain the sacred relationship of life.
To know how to mend, we must first awaken individually and within the context of the "village." The idea of the Cura is about people who care for the soul of the village and provide an innate healing presence to tend the wounds and invoke the wonders.
The Cura Council is a call to honor all life as sacred and to see humans as nature and in collaboration with all of life. This inter-generational project is held within the context of the Wheel of the Year and the Intentional Creativity® Communities.
Guided by Curate Shiloh Sophia and The Cura Council with honor to our Ancestors and the Stewards of Every Land We Come from and into.

"First, thank you for all the love that you put into this journey. I have loved our time together in the Red Tent Sanctuary. I have been inspired by you and all of the members. I have learned so much. I have painted and written through new eyes and surprised myself at the depth and healing in my work.
Red Madonna is a beautiful supportive group of sisters who are inspirational and kind, and is a place of deep wisdom and sacred space." ~ Debbie Jackson

"I began this adventure in about 2019 and was immediately struck by the strong sense of community and readiness to engage new traditions and wisdom. In many ways it reminded me of meeting Sally, Dick, and Jane in the first grade and discovering a whole world of possibilities I never dreamed existed!
I love the way we explore with images and words, each in our own ways. This is a time for gathering in a circle where we are welcome... for adding new tools to our Medicine Baskets, and working together with the amazing power of soul expression! Red Madonna is a place to do just that!" ~ Dr. Sue Boardman

"The Red Madonna Sisterhood became one of the treasures in my life. I experience love, beauty, depth, wisdom, knowledge, and sharing with a deep sense of acceptance. For me, it is like a place by the fire, where we gather to share our stories, our worries, and our joy, wrapping it in prayers and psalms of devotion to the divine, to the Mother - whatever this might mean to each woman. I am very grateful for this gift in my life, guided by women of a heart of wisdom and compassionate love." ~ Anna Maria Michalski
