Red Madonna Womb of Living Waters

Enter Into Your Creative Current with Intentional Creativity®

The creative force flows over the terrain of our psyches looking for the natural hollows, the arroyos, the channels that exist in us. We become its tributaries, its basins; we are its pools, ponds, streams, and sanctuaries. The wild creative force flows into whatever beds we have for it, those we are born with as well as those we dig with our own hands. We don't have to fill them, we only have to build them... Once that great underground river finds its estuaries and branches in our psyches, our creative lives fill and empty, rise and fall in seasons just like a wild river. A single creative act has the potential to feed a continent. One creative act can cause a torrent to break through stone.... Wild Woman's river nurtures and grows us into beings that are like her: life givers. As we create, this wild and mysterious being is creating us in return, filling us with love. We are evoked in the way creatures are evoked by sun and water. We are made so alive that we in turn give life out; we bloom, we divide and multiply, we impregnate, incubate, impart, give forth." ~ Clarissa Pinkola-Estes, Women Who Run With the Wolves

The Cosmic Womb of the Divine Mother birthed the Seas, the Womb of Living Waters that held, grew, and birthed every being of creation. Especially in these times, our connection to our Divine Mother in Her loving flow and embrace, is more important than ever.

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?

Do you seek to truly care for and nourish the waters of your body, womb, and essence?

Are you willing and ready to step into the sacred current of your soul?

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?

Guided by Havi Mandell and Shiloh Sophia
Registration Open

A 13 Moon Painting & Initiation Journey

Into the Primordial Waters of the Divine Feminine

The Benefits and Blessings of Red Madonna

Red Madonna is a creative path of devotion and is the spiritual home of Intentional Creativity®. Our online sanctuary is a unique and precious space to be held by the Sacred Feminine while surrounded and supported by a global circle of sisters, daughters, mothers, aunties, and grandmothers. It is a space to share our wisdom and gifts with each other and work in devotion to future generations.

We do not just honor diversity, we cultivate it. We invite each of you to actively participate and share the beautiful essence of who you are, enriching us all, and giving us space to dive more deeply into inquiry, exploration, and the creation of our own spiritual at-homeness.

We are a spiritual HOME, a community devoted to safety, non-judgment, support, and mutual exploration. You can trust that you are in, as Sue Boardman says, “a place where we can go to find a place where we belong.”

Each of our teachings are invitations, sparks to light up what your soul already knows, so you can enrich and empower your personal world and make a meaningful difference in the world around you.

Inside this container, you are invited to:

Develop meaningful, intentionally creative spiritual rituals and practices.
Experience presence, painting, and prayer in community.
Feel the support of a non-judgmental loving sisterhood as you navigate your spiritual journey.
Engage in monthly red thread circle calls, meditations, and explorations.
Connect to your spiritual center and your innate wildness and intuitive knowing.
Embody your Self-Sovereignty and Sensuality, informed by your wild natural self in harmony with the rhythms and cycles of Nature and the fluid nature of your being.
Honor sacred rest with the practice of the Sabbath.
Develop a body of writing, sketches, and a powerful painting and share your wisdom with others.

By being a connected part of the Flow of Living Waters in all Life, you’ll discover how to access your own inner knowing.

When you can’t hear your own voice, it's easy to start searching outside yourself for answers—and that often leads you down a path that doesn’t feel true to who you are.

This sisterhood has been gathering in circle for 14 years, since 2012. When you say yes to this community, you say yes to sacred practice.

Your Investment in time and resources will nourish you.

$990 Full Pay - or monthly Payment Plan of $93/month

We begin with an powerful 2 day livestream, guided by Shiloh and Havi, introducing our Living Waters theme through teachings, meditations, movement, joyful embodiment, and painting, bringing alive the power of this 13 moon journey ahead!

Other teachings will be delivered Via Video and Live Zoom in a private classroom with the sisterhood. All sessions will be recorded. Participate in your own time on your own schedule. YES, you can participate as you choose.

A MESSAGE FROM US

Dear Sisters of The Sacred Womb,

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

We invite you into the many dimensions and expressions of water:

The Cosmic Womb — the eternal waters that existed before form
The Primordial Living Waters — the first stirrings of life, the womb of creation for all life
The Deep Waters — descent, mystery, transformation
The Oracular Waters- memory, story, intuition, prophetic knowing
The Embodied Waters — form, presence, healing, fascia, lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, blood, sexual fluids, our own wombs of creation
The Flowing Waters - expression, interconnection, relationship, fluid change

This 13 Moon journey creates the space to create in rhythm and flow with life itself.

Within this journey, you will be invited to:

Enter the cosmic womb—the fertile field before form, the pure energy of the Sacred Feminine
Connect with your original nature, intimately birthed and connected with all life in the primordial waters
Create through rhythm, intuition, flow, responsiveness, and inner listening
Experience water as memory, intelligence, oracular knowing, and connection
Deepen into the waters of your own body as a source of guidance, and intentionally listen to and tend your body.
Allow your Embodied Archetypal Water Essence to emerge and take form through a powerful yearlong painting journey.

This is not just about creating a painting. It is about allowing something real, sourced from our ancient, fluid knowing, to move and find expression on the canvas and in your life.

Waters move in their own sacred way. They do not rush or force. They respond.
They receive. They flow. They reshape. They cleanse. They rebirth.

When you enter this field, you begin to feel a different kind of creative current -
one that is ancient, continuous, responsive, and continually re-sourcing and rebirthing.

The waters are:

Cyclical — moving in rhythmic cycles, not linearity
Current — guided by the current of what is alive now
Continuous — nothing is wasted, everything transforms and rebirths, life generating life
Connecting — inner and outer, self and world, past and present
Compassionate — holding all states of being
Cleansing — releasing, renewing, restoring
Changeable — fluid, responsive, alive
Creative – both source and expression of co-creating with life.

Water teaches us how to create and grow in intimate co-creation with life.

Red Madonna's Womb of Living Waters is for you if you long to...

Connect with, embody, and paint the Divine Feminine as expressed through water’s gifts and qualities
Connect and work with your womb and fluid body wisdom
Experience being held in the Womb of the Earth and the Cosmic Womb
Create in a way that feels sensual, embodied, alive, and nourishing
Experience this Intentional Creativity Painting journey as a source of pleasure and presence, freedom and flow
Source inner wisdom and oracular knowing
Be in continual sacred dialogue and relationship with the waters within and around you
Engage in practices that attune and align you with the cycles of the Nature, creating in rhythm with Life
Experience feeling held, seen, and heard in a sacred, supportive, and inclusive sisterhood of Red Thread Sisters

The 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.

Comments on Red Madonna Student Experiences:

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.

I looked forward each week to roots and branches. I would sometimes immerse myself for the entire week in the prompts and inquiries. I also look forward to the waxing and waning moon posts. They were wonderful!

I'm so looking forward to our next Red Madonna together. The team is so warm and kind and welcoming and makes you feel a part instantly! It is a wonderful sacred space. ~ Debbie Jackson

The Red Madonna experience has been transformative for me. What a journey it has been. One of truth, letting go, deep connection to my Guardian Angel and Celebratrix, and with all the women on the red thread. And… to myself. I’m full of Gratitude and Joy and Hope for the future. A really big deal in our current world. ~ Stacey McGlame

__________________________________________________

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. ~ Deborah Pierce

__________________________________________________

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. ~ Easula Sedlmaier

__________________________________________________

In some ways, I'm kind of a "new kid" in the land of Red Madonna. 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

__________________________________________________

Joining Red Madonna in 2014 was a magical and heartfelt decision that has nourished me through the years as an ever-expanding beautiful journey. Being in a supportive, generous, and caring community of women has been fun, and a cherished and integral part of my life. Curiosity is my spice of life, and Red Madonna is the special ingredient! ~ Cathy Pearl

__________________________________________________

I have taken Red Madonna several times, the journey is a deep and fruitful one. The collective Spiritual Wisdom, blended with art instruction and symbolic guidance, is a rare find. ~ Kendall Sarah Scott

__________________________________________________

Red Madonna is a dance with the mother: yours, mine, ours; a dance on the canvas floor, back rubbing against the heart walls of our yearning to feel our divine mother's pulsating passion pouring through our hands, feet, and tongues. We reclaim Her, one intentional stroke at a time, and She renames us by her star-lit sighs, an orgasm of delight at our homecoming, our coming home to the truth of who we are: hers.

When we go on this journey called Red Madonna, we are going on a pilgrimage to the holy temples of the Mother in the desert of the faraway places in our soul we were never taught existed, but knew... they had to be. The terrain can be unforgiving ~ we have been prodigal daughters for too long ~ yet the rewards... ah! The rewards for such a pilgrim, for such a daughter, are... to be discovered, for all who make it before the altar of the Most Holy Womb have been sworn to secrecy about such a blessing. All I can say is

"I am not the same. Thank Goddess. Go ye and be transformed in the crucible of her love."

I gift you Blessings for your journey! ~ Anasuya Isaacs
