THE MUSEA HEALING ARTS CERTIFICATION TRAINING
Your Self-Expression is Sacred. All life is Sacred. Learn Sacred Teachings.
Your Voice & Vision are Needed. Your Leadership is what the world is seeking and you can feel that in your bones, right?
Rise in Love with creation from the depths of the mycelium
to the heights of the stars and with all the creatures in between.
OH so many things, but the heart of the curriculum in terms of what we actually DO in the training is rooted in the the Four Healing Arts Modules.
We will access logical and mystical States of Consciousness
through Intentional Creativity to Experience, Practice and Adapt the four CURA Healing Arts Natures, Archetypes and Modules. Here's a brief look.

Here at MUSEA, we are a Museum, University, Sanctuary, Ecosphere, and Apothecary. Beneath the philosophy of MUSEA is an abiding respect for the Rights of Nature and Archeomythology , which tells us the story of place and our Ancestors. The illustration below indicates that our Ecosphere Work connects with the Earth's record.
All of our research and what informs our offerings is rooted in exploring and hopefully understanding who we are and where we are going as a species in relationship with all of creation. To do this work of looking forward, we first look back. This illustration, created by our Co-Founder, Curate Shiloh Sophia, which is always in process, is an exploration of the human timeline in relationship with creation, what she calls "Kinship with Creation." One of the points she makes is that we have not always been a warring dominator, but to know that, we must look back at where we have been. To do that, we look at the earth record of the earth and the artifacts. Part of our work as ritualists, activists, and creatives includes awareness of the art of our history so that it can inform the art makers and policymakers of the future.
Can I take it for myself or do I need to be an educator, healer or artist already?
The Training can be taken for Personally or Professional use. You can become Certified to Guide Intentional Creativity based Healing Arts Practices for Yourself and Those you Serve Love and adapt them to your chosen mediums.

Through the Animystica training, we will guide and educate you on the ways of the CURA from within our tradition. CURA comes from the Latin root term for help, care, or cure. The Intentional Creativity® Cura will carry these gifts for those she chooses to serve and for her self-nurturing.
In the next section I am sharing a message that our Ancestor, Carmen Baraka sent to me and Jonathan in December of 2020, that serves as the inspiration for our ceremonial practice here at MUSEA. I will see you in Circle!
CARMEN BARAKA .:. SPIRIT WARRIOR
"This lets me explain what it’s like to be in Circle and Ceremony, which has been handed down since the beginning of time. It’s like breathing into Grace, into the quantum field. To be in a moment of reverence where you are set free to experience the validity of the true nature of spirit, the sublime nature of beingness. To know you are between worlds, the I am that I am. I am most comfortable here in this place of giving and receiving, in this place of quantum identity, where you find out and can feel this realm in a profound way, an actual view that we are all interconnected, an alignment with the stars. When you can actually experience what you feel is your deepest truth, hold it in your hand and have it be tangible, that is the gift that is pure joy, that is the awakening.
When you can hear the stories of the past, the information of the future and the power of the now, understanding that all aspects are in play at all times, this juxtaposition of realities catalyzes Omni Presence in a way that can be understood. Everything actually isn’t always fleeting, not if you see it as all aspects in play simultaneously. When we can truly understand the depth and breadth, then we can understand that everything that has been and will be, the knowledge of all time, is already within us. We must move through the Corridors - the portals of our timeless mind, body, spirit, the realm of the oneness of creator, of source, the realms of all possibilities"
Carmen Baraka and Shiloh Sophia at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women
We will teach you to use these Sacred Rites and Teachings for yourself and to guide those you choose - whether that is your family and friends, your community, or your practice with clients and guests at your table. The four Archetypes we will study, experience, and paint as we learn to embody the CURA are The Mystic, The Healer, The Creative, and The Protector.
The Intentional Creativity Cura with LOVE at the Center will be woven from an experience of following the Four Practices: Archetypes, Practices, Intentions, Vocations, Relationship Repair, and Initiations.
We will paint, write, speak, and experience these four and then Self-Initiate as a Cura. This can be a personal initiation if you do not want to teach but just want to experience it, OR you can learn it to share it with others in your own unique message. The work you create in the training will form the foundation for your BOOK.
You will paint two major paintings. One includes all the Archetypes leading up to the Cura and all the Elements. This painting will last for the entire training. The second painting will offer an image of your message, the heart of your healing and care, and be the center point of your book.
You will also have an illustrated ANIMYSTICA notebook with your drawings.
The training will take you through each archetype and arrive at the archetype of the Cura.The Cura is the embodiment of the village healer, wise woman, storyteller and all around creative genius and mystic badass. Imagine going through each one of these, healing the shadow and experiencing initiations which prepare you for creating the future you envision.

The Five Muses by Shiloh Sophia 2024
Redwood Pathway at Musea Center in Sonoma, California
You may notice the Red Thread throughout this invitation. At MUSEA, the Red Thread is a special community symbol we use as we each hold our own piece yet are connected to each other through the Quantum Realm. We are all connected regardless of space and time...
Cultivating
Spiritual-Somatic Sensuality
Do you feel the call of the Red Thread?
Here is one of many gatherings at MUSEA Center in Sonoma, California. Animystica students will have the opportunity to gather in person to study with Shiloh Sophia, experience ceremony, sit in Red Thread Circle, create art, enjoy meals together, and much more! This is optional as the full training is delivered online.
We have plans to visit MEXICO, GREECE and California. These are optional and not required but of course, we designed them to go along with the training. Those in the university will get additional units.
Spiritual and Somatic Training Tools for Connection
and Who This Training is For
Experience personally and offer transpersonally - lead groups and in private practice.
All teachings are rooted in the ancient future and the Sacred Feminine.
This training is for people who are at a crossroads. Does any of the following resonate?
Maybe you're searching for solutions to the pain of being human, that is:
Many of us missed having a rite of passage in our lives. Marking time, marking loss, shaping identity, moving from one relationship or place to another. Humans long to mark time that indicates we have gone through something and now we are at a new threshold, a new beginning. We love a chance for a fresh start.
At ANIMYSTICA you will be self-initiating through your path of practice. Through the creation paintings, drawings and writings you will arrive at an expanded sense of self and a clearer sense of calling.
PERSONALLY
Human Nature
With yourself and your inner world. With your chosen human relationships and kinships. Healing pathways of connection.
TRANS-PERSONALLY
Spiritual Nature
With your community and inner circle. With the collective beyond your personal experience, known reality, or belief system.
ECO-PERSONALLY
Earth Nature
With creation and cosmos and all beings. With earth, air, fire, water, wood, metal and stone. With your animystical relationships
INTER-DIMENSIONALLY
Cosmic Nature
With the cosmos, the mystery, the quantum world and the somatic sciences of inter-connection with all of life. Engage with the mystery to Initiate the great unfolding.
ALL INTER-CONNECTED
SOUL Nature
Once we begin to truly practice the Four Natures, we engage at a fuller level with our Soul Powers. From here, the archetype of the CURA can weave through us.
When we activate our Oracle, we gain access to the codes of the Great Work hidden within us.
Most of us —yes, we said most —carry unique hidden gifts waiting for us to awaken our access to the inner world. The inner world of the mystic meets the natural world of the animist.
The future is uncertain, yet your path ahead doesn't need to be. Who are you, and what is your Soul whispering to you?
The Intentional Creativity® painting approach allows students to connect to the subconscious mind and intuition, letting go of preconceived ideas and the desire to force outcomes. This is an invitation to be self-expressed and to sense and allow each layer of paint to inform what arises next and the story that gets revealed.
There are no mistakes, and no talent is needed. We are aligning the right and left brain with the heart and the hands. Allow your paintings to evolve based on heart callings, visions, and playful experimentation - it's about self-expression, discovery, and allowing creativity to flow without constraints. In the process, magic happens that often surprises us with messages and the power to heal.
Is Self-Expression about talent?
This painting was created as the demo using Medicine Painting during our ORIGINS Intentional Creativity Guardian Training. The poetry and stories arise from within the context and learning of the paintings. This painting is still in process, is 5X5 feet and arcylic on canvas.

Milk of Creation by Shiloh Sophia
There is a pulse pulsing
a vibration vibrating
a hum humming us
We are sung strummed
by creation’s sensations
drum drum drumming us
The soft low steady rhythm
heartbeat of all that is
is moving us to her sound
If the waters are my family
and the wind is my sibling
and the mountain is grandmother
the forest is grandfather
then the sun sunning
is mothering me
I am Mothered
by the nature of nature
the essence of power
powering me in her majesty
moon keeps me company
Living, breathing, ensouled being
of the great animystic
intentional creativity
I seek the kinship of
your good company
I see you, I feel you, I smell you,
I sense you, I love you
In the first red red rose of spring
the greening tips of the redwood tree,
the promise of ripe red apple
feeding me mystery
The redwing black bird is
flying me home again and again
and again, calling me home
I am craving
to nurse again from the
breast of divine life,
breathe breathing through me
breathe breathing through me
breathe breathing through we
I am hungry
for the milk of creation
lifting me,
I want to be milk drunk
and fall asleep
in her giant greening lap
surrounded by blossoms of
the magnolia tree
fragrancing me
Petals playing in my hair
The dreamer is dreaming me
As I am lifted
I am Nourished in the stardust
Stardusting in me
Ancient remembrance
furthering me
Future visions
Dancing me
Sound sounding
Hearing the call for me,
then
I call you,
do you hear me?
Because I am bathed in
The soul of nature naturing me
I remember you
For you are always with me
I made you this poem
out of soft silver olive leaves
pink camellia blooms blooming
and an opalescent
a nipple-shaped seashell
curling so beautifully
The dreamer is dreaming me
I am rising now in the darkness
of the morning libations
With the milk of creation
still sweet on my lips
I am speaking this to you
Through me, for you
There is a pulse pulsing
a vibration vibrating
a hum humming us
hummmmm hummmmm
"As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of a mere being." ~Carl Jung
How does our approach to painting work?
On the left, here's me at 23 with my mentor, the Art Matriarch, Sue Hoya Sellars, at the start of my VERY first art show - featuring poetry, pottery, photography, and painting. That show was sold out and was the beginning of my journey as an artist healer and entreprenuer. On the right, here's me at 53 just last month, teaching the ideas she taught me and that I have taught to tens of thousands of women and their families worldwide.
I was raised in a matriarchal culture and that informs all of my work. Matriarchy is not the opposity of patriarchy and has nothing to do with specific men, women or gender-non-conforming.
I have provided revolutionary imagery, stories, and teachings for 30 years. Of course, it has always felt important; otherwise, I would not have devoted my life to it. And. It is time for the next evolution of education that is full-spectrum, integrative, spiritual, and practical and invites us to become the beings we know ourselves to be.
The easiest way to talk about it in popular culture is that we are 'remembering' who we are. We are at a crossroads, looking to make an impact. We know we are called, yet we often don't know how to answer. Not really. We have a lot of ideas and dreams but often lack structure. Animystica offers the structure to Call forth your Great Work through eight Intentional Creativity Teachings.
Sometimes, it can be challenging to say what you want to share because people will judge you. Who does she think she is? Doesn't she have issues like the rest of us? Did a real shaman train her?
So, I will say this. I have been doing the work and feel 'ready enough' to invite you into your wisdom. My wisdom and content are DESIGNED to activate your wisdom. Really. I have certified over 600 women in over 14 years of training. I have served tens of thousands of students with complimentary education. I have created and sold hundreds and hundreds of paintings. I am carrying unique information to share with you; it isn't hidden, but it takes time and devotion to access it. That is why any training with us is a call to a Path of Practice.
Is art duplicating Nature?
How is Animystica relevant to what we are facing as a species?
We all know that we are at a challenging time in the evolution of our species. We have concerns that there will not be time to repair the damage humans have created. This can lead to us feeling helpless, hopeless, angry and reactive.
ANIMYSTICA offers us a solution where we can care for ourselves, care for others in our lives, care for the village, and care for creation.
Origins has truly been an Incarnational journey for me. My deepest beliefs and commitments have found life on the canvas and in my teachings… but mostly within me. I am new and utterly grateful!
The experience of being in IC Certification courses over the past three years has deepened my ability just to be. To sit into my being with joy and comfort. It has decreased the “striving” to become better and yet to own the wonder of who I am. Intentional Creativity has awakened the desire and confidence to share with the world, whether I am teaching, coaching, or just in day-to-day life, I have a deeper sense of who I am and what is mine to share. I have gained a truly awesome, supportive community, and the connection with them is priceless. Shiloh Sophia's relentless and abundant search for the best way to share her gifts with us is stunning and beautiful to behold. I am grateful for being on this path. I feel at once, Vibrant and Great Stillness everpresent… home with myself and with my fellow humans as we navigate this wild ride of life!
Teaching Intentional Creativity allows me to witness healing as it happens in joy, wonder, awe, and love while releasing trauma, anger, shame, and self-ridicule. . . which reflects healing in my life like a mirror,
I have found trust in my path and joy in doing what I do. I found a community to share and be with and to evolve my capacities together with people who are redoing similar things and understand the path that I’m on. That is so empowering. I never had this feeling before. So, I am going out now with my wisdom and certainty that it is the right thing for me and that there is the right path for everyone out there we just have to open to it. We are collecting wisdom for many lifetimes.
I received a sense of knowing I have a place in the world and that the world needs us. Nature needs us. There is so much to learn when I can be with whatever feelings I may feel; that is the greatest gift. My choice can come from a place where I do not have to feel there is something wrong for me to have uncomfortable feelings. Best of all, I do not need to stay stuck as long as I can use my powers of self-expression. I can soften around them and love myself for who I am. I am learning to live from my entire being, heart, mind, and soma. And as long as I do that, I feel whole.
Intentional Creativity is available to us for many lifetimes and not just this one.
Intentional Creativity has given me a supportive pathway and practice to honor, celebrate, and creatively express all parts of myself.
I have a newfound trust in myself… I have opened the portal to a new way of being and felt the portal opening within me so that I can move forward and guide the way for others.
I have moved from a small mind to embracing the largeness of who I am. I am waiting for the next step with eager anticipation. This is because of being intentional. Thank you for pointing out the path.
Intentional Creativity and the Origins course work is an invitation to a new way of being and envisioning our collective present and future. It taught me new ways to strengthen our power of choice. Carrying with it deep wisdom and creative grounding in each of its teachings.
What Intentional Creativity has done for me is beyond words, but here are a few: I have learned a new and more demanding yet comfortable way to stretch myself into better perspectives and communication with everyone I am in contact with. I have learned the importance & necessity of getting out of my own way to do the important things in my life. And the importance of being Me and that going Rogue is ok, even necessary, in order to stay true to my path.
Origins catalyzed a major shift in my life - into retirement and an "encore career" as an Intentional Creativity Teacher and Guardian. I feel so supported through the community, MUSEA Guild, university, and the incredible depth of Shiloh's teachings, in addition to all the resources available to me as I step across the threshold into living my dream and my true divine purpose.
Origins has been an incredible catalyst for me. I completed a life of corporate and will now be an Intentional Creativity Teacher and Guardian. My paintings teach me: Remember where you came from.
The Origins Training opened up for me an ever-deepening. I have a profound appreciation for how much I am a part of Creation and all that exists and brought me to such a greater sense of who I am and what I am here to bring to the world. The power of Intentional Creativity opens up the possibility to make our lives into 100% curated creations of love and beauty. This is essential wisdom that must be shared, and the Origins course brought me tools and insights to be able to do that and so much more...
The Intentional Creativity community is a gift unto itself, and I am profoundly grateful to each incredible member for sharing vulnerabilities, struggles, and passions so bravely and transparently by which we all gained more illumination of ourselves and of our own personal and unique gifts and even deeper understanding of how necessary they are in the world. This course is uniquely powerful and transformative and brings vital awareness that is life-altering beyond anything I have ever experienced and brought love to the center of all of my choices.”
I have been on the path of claiming who I am and what my path of service is for more than 12 years, having taken many courses that promised I would find it, and I never did. Until I was part of Origins, the number of things I learned went well beyond the curriculum! I learned more about who I am, my divine remembrance, how to allow myself to belong, and how to fully surrender to the flow of life!
Intentional Creativity has caused and is still causing me to be more fully who I am. Indeed, who I’ve always been. I’m an ARTIST! This is my tribe.
Intentional Creativity and the Origins training gave me a way to re-experience life and practice making choices like never before.
Since finding Intentional Creativity, I have created a deeper relationship with myself, others, and nature. I have become freer and richer in my life; I have gained more confidence in who I AM!
Origins has strengthened my confidence as a certified Intentional Creativity Teacher and Coach and has expanded my vision of how to practically bring it into my business and personal life. I created and delivered my first in-person Intentional Creativity workshop since the fall of 2020, and it was such a transformational success for my participants, that I am now committed to offering them regularly throughout the year and it gives me glimpses of how my senior years could look like as a locally known Intentional Creativity teacher and play shop facilitator supporting me and my husband financially during our old age in a way that feels gentle, aligned and “non-business”.
I hadn’t thought of that before, yet when connecting with my cosmic and familial roots I was able to think a lot about aging and how to live my final years as well. Like an embracing of my lifetime.
I am a changed person because I have walked this path with you allthrough the Intentional Creativity process and through the content of Origins.
This is my 4th year of practicing Intentional Creativity. The Profound message received during my first Legend continues to play out. Healing the dark places in my heart. Consciousness of Being painting the being was incarnating on Earth. My awareness was that my wisdom would be available to me for many lifetimes. I have infinite to make use of this information.
The process of Intentional Creativity has given me a hook to hang my hat on. I was walking around with an amazing hat in my closet, but it felt like there was nowhere to wear it. Intentional Creativity has given me the tools to show not only that hat but that I have many hats. Now that I wear them, others see my hat and they’re inspired to wear a hat too! (Intentional Creativity is the hat—surprise!)
"Each one of us is carrying internal imagery from our inner world. The image below was my breakthrough drawing at the age of 23. I called it the Mama of Mamas and it fundamentally changed the way I view my creativity and my relationship with creation. I had been studying art for years, but it wasn't until I found my own internal imagery that I discovered my own true voice." Shiloh Sophia

The voice you have been looking for is the one within you. Can you hear her speak?
"Native peoples, indigenous peoples have an understanding of quantum physics and quantum mechanics but just have different language for it. There is no end to the circle, it is actually the everything and the closely concurring nothingness. That place where time and space are moving through you, and you are the observer and the recipient of cosmic favor. Where is the jurisdiction of truth? It's in the unfolding of the layers of our existence. And how much in this life can you handle, can you allow, can you embrace without fear? Because the opposite of fear is awakening, and so it is! I believed that the beyond of quantum physics, is knowing the truth of one’s Soul and Spirit!"
