Guided by Founders of MUSEA: Center for Intentional Creativity,

Curate Shiloh Sophia and Jonathan McCloud

We work with thousands of people per month to bring gifts to heal human suffering that we KNOW work. Over the past ten years, we have developed offerings like this one to support our community in healing through Intentional Art. We are on a mission to bring this knowledge to the world to learn and study a new approach to resiliency. We can't wait to share it with you.

In these times, our bodies, minds, and spirits are struggling with the weightiness of life's circumstances. When we can't process our pain, let alone the pain of others, we can feel helpless or useless or as if we don't know what it is all about or why we are here.

We have to create ourselves and curate our experience, or it will feel helpless or useless or consistently feel like life is happening TO US instead of through us.

Truly, it gives us joy to share it with you.

What if we told you we could work together to improve your relationship during troubling times by giving you greater access to your inner world?

Would you BE ALL IN?

If the answer is YES, then join us for...

Every single human has access to Soul Powers. Soul Powers become available WHEN someone becomes conscious and can work with the Spirit and Body connection. Our Spirit and Body are already connected, yet we can benefit from a devoted experience to repair our awareness of how the coordinates can work. There is certainty to be found in how we can help and heal, starting with ourselves.

We want to share this experience with you.

We called this experience True Colors because of this one BIG JUICY reason: Healing yourself asks you to be the MOST YOU that you can possibly be.

When this occurs through self-expression, your true colors can shine and show you the way forward. AND You can then have the presence to see the True Colors in other people.

Showing up does not mean perfection, genius, or having all your stuff in a pile. Showing up means 'as-is'. However, 'as-is' means you don't fake it through the hard times; it simply means you are courageous enough to hold space with someone as they come through their own experience.

Intentional Creativity isn't about making good art or being an artist; it is about self-expression, which is about releasing trapped energy and inviting space for inspiration.

In our workshops, we invite both hemispheres of the brain to dance together to fire and wire toward new potentials not previously seen. Our imagination is one of the most under-utilized resiliency tools innate to humans. Each participant will visit their SOUL SPACE to explore the Field, Flow, and Form, then how it connects with the Collective Past, Future, and Present.

Join us to activate imagination on behalf of healing and possibility. This is a visual of how we will access our own soul space during True Colors...

TRUE COLORS CURRICULUM

EXPERIENCE SOMATIC SPIRITUAL HEALING:
Begin a beautiful repair of Your Soul-Spirit-Body-Identity Connection through Colorful Self-Expression so that you can inhabit your fullness and live more fully in alignment with your true colors.

PRACTICE INNOVATIVE ENERGY MOVEMENT:
Establish a communication channel with your internal voice so that you can create flow state change by CHOICE, moving energy to matter and matter to energy on command.

ACTIVATE YOUR SOUL WORK ALIVENESS:
Move powerfully and completely towards the work you are called to do in THIS lifetime through opening to the storied Soul speaking to you and through you - so that you can stop waiting and start living.

CATALYZE ACCESS to CLARITY:
Discover, plan, and take the next steps on your path so that you can chart a course of action that aligns with your highest vision for yourself and your relationship to creation.

We will paint, write, move, draw, pray, do rituals, connect, and finally call in the change you seek. It's time.

Bringing a few things into the light:

We must care for the caregiver before, during, and after they serve. Each individual's authenticity, aka 'True Colors', informs the sacred container.
We can choose to approach standard ideas in a sacred manner.
Each person already has access to healing; we support that availability through self-expression.
We see each person as innately whole, not a series of systems but an ecosystem where each part is interconnected with every other part.
We need easy, available, and relevant processes to repair the relationship between Spirit and Soma.
Those serving need to be healed enough to offer care through first caring for themselves using the tools provided.
Ongoing practice is essential for ongoing healing: continuity with community.

NOTE: There is nothing in our approach that conflicts with the standard therapeutic and industry of trauma-informed education.

The Wheel of the 5 M's is part of a larger body of work in the Path of Practice encompassing Intentional Creativity. The core focus of our time together is Making, Meditating, Metacognitiving, and Moving.

These aren't quite how they sound. For example, meditating doesn't mean closing your eyes and humming or blanking out your mind; it is more of a mindfulness practice that engages you in a meditative state.

And the Muse in the middle?

Well ... You will have to join to discover the Muse's role in the journey toward true colors!

The Intentional Creativity® Approach to trauma-inspired education invites the whole human to fully engage in healing: spirit, psyche, body, and field.

Trauma happens everywhere at once. So can healing. The challenge is how do we create an experience in which a BIG level of healing happens all at once - to have the ability to address the BIG level of trauma we are digesting all at once. The timing of moving from 'traumatized' to metabolized is key - that is why we are covering this content in two days altogether.

"Vitality!!!!!! Yes! Being here, being human. What I have been focusing on from our Temple to Inspire course is an increase in Vitality! I listened to my body, and it told me I couldn’t do what I wanted to do if I was not healthy. I have been tending to my nutrition, movement, and pleasure, which have been showing up in my paintings. My portal to my imagination has been opened! I see all types of creatures, ideas, and other images heading towards the opening to be brought into my creative life and shining on all of me: the me who is strong and ready to greet my guests, the me who feels uncertain sometimes, the parts of me that hurt sometimes, and the parts I sometimes neglect. I am confident in my ability to shine as a teacher!" ~ Deanna Miller 2024 True Colors

"True Colors brought me another level of trusting the process and the Mystery. I surrendered to the flow and felt the shift in my body as the unexpected portal shape became an angel of unlimited possibilities guided by unconditional love, healing my heart and the hearts of anyone in need of healing. The magical thing that happened was the transformation of my relationship with one of my brothers and his wife. We had no contact for a very long time. What brought us back together was the opening of an exhibition with the art of our mother just after completing this painting, and the relationship was so different! This was so unexpected. I’m truly grateful! You never know where an Intentional Creativity painting can take you!" ~ Nona McKinney 2024 True Colors
Title: Warrior of Love and Peace

"As always, I found myself drawn into a journey that took me somewhere completely unexpected. The images evolved from what felt like a mysterious connection with my ancient ancestry. Beginning with the process of guided inquiries, images arose through the layers and formed from the background layers of my painting like magic. It felt so exciting to be led down this mystical path. I became intrigued by the symbol of the bull's head which had simply appeared. I only learned afterward that it was once used as a symbol of generativity, being shaped like the womb, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. I named her "the One Who Sees" because she celebrates the embodiment of the feminine energy and mystery of the animistic connection. It is also the translation of the word shaman, and I also subsequently learned that shamans were originally women. It was as if she was speaking to me about something I needed to know."

~ Susan Bessey 2024 True Colors

Each person's painting experience will be unique to them. Our approach is designed SPECIFICALLY to repair the relationship of the Spirit and Body within the Soul context. The painting process is guided, but your work will be your work. With painting, we can enter a flow state and allow our spirits to let go and soar into new or old territory with a fresh perspective.

"Painting with Intentional Creativity is as potent as it is fun. You get out of the way and let the brush move as it moves, and every time, we are surprised, and often delighted by what gets revealed on the journey" - IC Student.

Our Trauma-Inspired Approach

A Feeling Not a Formula

The truth is that trauma happens all the time. It is part of the human condition. We aren't going to avoid it. So, the question is, how can we evolve the trauma-informed care approach to be immediately accessible to many people - not just organizations, therapists, and the highly trained?

WE ALL need to be able to care for ourselves and then care for others. We need to have the capacity to respond in the moment at our fingertips and be able to act. For us at MUSEA the timing is really important - we want those who study with us to have a kind of readiness so that when the challenges come - we know the first steps.

In TRUE COLORS, we aren't revisiting the past as much or focusing on a specific wound. We offer specific, accessible-in-the-moment tools to you, with an emphasis on the spirit and body relationship. While the seminar is experiential, you can think of it as a tool kit or medicine basket that you can have ready as needed.

We call it trauma-inspired because the curriculum is (literally) inspired by trauma and our research and process in our community. Being INSPIRED to act is often based on a FEELING that might sound something like this:

Let me take care of myself first; I will take two hours for myself and see how I feel. Am I ready to take action?

I know how I can help, where and how I can share, where I am needed, and whether the gifts I am carrying will be useful.

Does the love I have to share feel bigger than my own need to continue processing how I am feeling...do I feel healed enough to show up?

The call to support others makes me feel like I can do something instead of just sitting here and lamenting. What can I do without compromising myself?

Can I bring my true colors to this situation and call forth the true colors of those I am with?

Being inspired to help heal isn't a formula; it's a feeling. Getting to that feeling and being able to revisit it as needed is part of our goal in the True Colors Training.

Note: Reading this list could be activating (triggering), but we need to go there. The tools we want to share are capable, expandable, and relevant to things we are all experiencing like:

Here at Musea, we journey together for access to our inner world. Often, we need a pause from the outer world to tune into our inner self, which we like to call the Muse!

These past four years have left many of us wondering where we fit in with a world that has drastically changed. With all we see on social media and the news, fear can be louder than our own intuition.

Do you often feel disconnected from your own inner knowing?

Are you able to trust yourself over all the noise happening around you?

With the pandemic and lockdowns, what used to feel like your sacred creative space may leave you feeling unconsciously or consciously confined. How can we reclaim our personal sanctuary and rediscover our creative flow?

The Answer: Creativity is the antidote to fear. By going deeper with your muse you unlock a new level of self-awareness to decisions that feel aligned for YOU.

This is step by step but allows space for experimentation. What sets us apart is the Intentional Creativity Method® we've practiced with tens of thousands of students. We gather and practice for wisdom, healing, and transformation from the inside out.

Our philosophy is rooted in the idea that we are all capable of healing. That healing is an experience that we choose within given mediums, people, and times. That choosing a way to express what is hidden inside reveals the true colors within. Tools like this can and should be available to everyone as a Path of Practice, meaning a regular devotional commitment to your healing, will CHANGE the life you live and how you live it. And most of all, your best life is the one where you get to share your true colors.

Here are a few of the things we will be doing together - but it requires NO creative SKILL - please believe and come with an open heart. Art is not the focus; it is the pathway.

Intentional Creativity is potent, practical, and powerful for shifting energy and stories. And for reducing and catalyzing suffering and transforming it into something truly useful. Yes, we have the power to do that! Oh, YA Whoop! However, trauma often lives in image-based story. Trying to change the story and how it lives within us, without working with image, often isn't getting the results we need. This is exactly what the process opens: taking the inside thought/idea and bringing it into the form-based domain to make the experience visual. We think it. We create it. We witness it and are changed by it in our brains. It is so elemental and basic, yet understanding how it works, giving process and language to it, changes HOW we can access it and work with it.

Our beautiful brains process how we ‘see’ and experience life. We will work directly with what we know about how the brain processes and how to shift these patterns. If you wonder why the same stories keep showing up even after years of mental processing in your life and therapy, then perhaps it is time to try a new modality. The issues live in the field of energy and movie-story-memories in your mind and your tissues. We know this can be shifted and we know that you are your own healer, and you are the only one that can shift them. We have tools to take you down that alchemical road to healing. You will experience new insights, innovation, and fresh mojo. Let's just how our thoughts impact our reality, with a paintbrush.

Founders of MUSEA: Intentional Creativity Shiloh Sophia and Jonathan McCloud

She is an artist and writer. He is a chef and sommelier. They are a husband-and-wife team, business owners, and operators across various interests. The pair joined their creative forces in 2013 with events in the Bay Area and worldwide, now serving thousands of clients with a philosophy and lifestyle concept they call Intentional Creativity® (creating with intention). The brand that serves all these interests is named “Musea”, Latin for multiple museums.

MUSEA - Center for Intentional Creativity® is home to an inter-generational and multicultural collective of emerging and experienced creatives, healers, and leaders. The MUSEA community is a global art movement dedicated to self-expression as a method for consciousness and compassion through the arts. The Intentional Creativity Arts Guild of MUSEA-Certified educators and curators offers engaging arts programming across the world co-curating art exhibits and classes.

Our physical campus has been in Northern California since 2000. We offer virtual education across the globe. Learn more about Musea.

Our work through Intentional Creativity® aims to support our community in navigating our world with resilience, compassion, and awareness.

MUSEA offers ignites our capacity to awaken to what we haven't been seeing. As we awaken, we begin to heal and transform both ourselves and the collective, and we can step into powerful collaboration with one another across a spectrum of experiences and identities.

We are passionate about women in the arts having their stories and art shared. Many hands, many lands, many voices. We believe that women's voices and images are what is needed to create equality and justice in the systems for humanity. In all areas of Civil Rights, the least represented voice at the table is those of women and people of color. Those who do speak up often do so at their own expense, finding themselves threatened, denounced, and often at the impact of violence.

While no one can truly guarantee a safe space, at MUSEA we are intentional about being a space of invitation for a diversity of women's voices, including the BIWOC (Black, Indigenous, Women Of Color) community. Some of the ways this is accomplished is by having women of color team members supporting our MUSEA Courses and leading ZOOM circles for culturally specific groups.

If you identify as Black, Indigenous or a Woman of Color, you are invited to attend monthly calls as well as join our private group in the iMusea App. To join these calls, you must be a MUSEA Member. Partial scholarships are available.
