Since 2010, more than one thousand students have transformed their lives, discovered their great work, and actualized their true calling in the world through the Color of Woman Intentional Creativity® Teacher Certification Training.

Color of Woman was created for women and those aligned with the feminine who desire to create authentically, express fully, and serve the world with their contributions and gifts.

You are healers & shamans, artists & educators, coaches & guides, mamas & community leaders, way-showers & wisdom-keepers. We are woven together as a community by the Red Thread, and we join together in sacred circle to explore and activate in our lives and the world the Five Feminine Archetypes or Five Feminine Energies. Access to the power of these archetypes offers the key to every woman's Soul Calling.

What has been holding you back is alchemized into what creates the path ahead. For those who want to serve with their gifts in the great unfolding, you will be empowered to speak your truth and to be heard in powerful new ways. When you self-initiate by creating a body of work that includes five paintings and the creation of your own book, your life elevates to the next level of your purpose.

If you feel called to gather in a sacred circle and share your deepest knowledge and gifts within the 2025 Cohort, then Color of Woman is for you. Color of Woman is a self-initiation that will bring you face to face – literally – with your Soul.

Nothing will be the same once you experience the depth and beauty of who you are and what you are bringing forward - body, mind, soul and self-expression.

Begin your journey now into the heart of your Soul's work!

The Color of Woman Curriculum is called the Alchemical Compass. This material is rooted in the exploration of five feminine Archetypes that move you through hidden worlds to discover and reveal the content that you want to translate into your own body of work through paintings, writings and the making of a book.

You came into this life with information, your soul codes that are specific to you this lifetime. Who you actually are, and what you are here to bring to life. The Intentional Creativity® Method will show you how to gain access to those precious codes.

Intentional Creativity offers you direct access to expressing your innate knowing. Gnosis happens when you offer your Soul a pathway to speak to you and through you. This is HOW to answer your Soul Calling and reveal the Heart of what truly matters to you.

In the COLOR of WOMAN experience You will....

Know with certainty what you are here to cause and create.
Activate your truest voice through guided painting journeys.
Live your story, not the one you have been carrying around for decades, but the one that fully expresses WHO you actually are and WHAT you are actually on earth to bring forward.
Embody the fullness of your identity.
Finally, answer the question, "What is mine to experience in this lifetime?"
Experience the joy you know is possible.

Color of Woman is the answer to embracing your Soul Calling.

Every act of creation is intentional.
The question is, are we conscious enough to have influence?
Yes, we are, and Intentional Creativity is the pathway.

Intentional Creativity® is a powerful approach to personal transformation through making art with intention, inquiry, and observation. Our work transcends traditional notions of the role of art and artistic talent. This has nothing to do with making good art - it is about the sacred process that occurs while in the act of creating. Intentional creativity offers access to consciousness itself.

Rooted in a legacy of teachings dating back to the late 1930s, this discipline integrates self-expression, intuition, ritual, mindfulness, embodiment, and connection to community to create a direct path to personal transformation.

Intentional Creativity® invites individuals—regardless of artistic experience—to use creativity to reveal and explore our personal stories and beliefs, to choose that which is aligned with our truth, and to craft a new story rooted in who you actually are and what you are here to cause and create.

Developed and refined over the past 30 years, this approach has impacted tens of thousands through online and in-person gatherings. Our curriculum offers a structured yet intuitive framework, so there is plenty of accountability while creating spaciousness for you to do things your way. Are you curious about a profound way to engage with your creativity as a tool for self-discovery, empowerment, and collective healing? You found it.

The Benefits of Intentional Creativity® reach every area of your life. We continue to be amazed and blessed by the results of this work. Most people say this is the one thing in their life that pulled all the other parts of their life into alignment. Color of Woman offers a throughline to your life experience - bringing it into one whole featuring your body of work. When you certify, you are certifying to lead Intentional Creativity in collaboration with your own offerings.

Healing & Transformation – Intentional Creativity is a channel for processing emotions, uncovering insights, shifting perspectives, and giving you a fresh start.
Mindfulness & Presence – Each intentional process becomes a meditation, fostering greater self-awareness and clarity.
Self-Expression – When a woman knows who she is and what she is here to express, she is empowered.
Community & Connection – Through shared creative experiences, individuals connect more deeply with themselves, each other, and the world.

"Making art is not just for those who are gifted or creative but is a way for all beings to access their own stories, ideas, beliefs, and healing pathways.” ~Shiloh Sophia

Co-Leadership at MUSEA Center

Our Color of Woman Team has a collective 30+ years, supporting tens of thousands of people, having raised millions of dollars to impact the world of women's work. We have been in the top of our fields teaching online business, leading in person retreats, running non-profits, showing work in galleries, running coaching programs, and company divisions. In addition, we have over 600 graduates to support you throughout the process. You are never alone.

Why we do what we do: We believe in creating a compassionate culture informed by conscious, creative, caring community. Consciousness offers access to our multifaceted Soul. To achieve the fullest consciousness available is a choice each of us can make, or not. Practicing Intentional Creativity is an invitation to become as conscious as you are capable of being. More self-expression, healing and joy is available, and that is what we teach at MUSEA. How to get there, and why.

"Intentional Creativity is a creative spiritual practice and a lifestyle choice. We create what we create with love and mindfulness. This approach to self-expression can be applied to any medium, including painting, writing, sculpting, jewelry, and the arts, but also to cooking, bodywork, gardening, dancing, singing, coaching, and conversation. Any medium can be used by people from all professions to easily add this feature to their existing work to offer a fresh, dynamic opportunity for clients to engage in the healing arts and awakened consciousness.

Intentional Creativity is one of the most potent tools to end suffering, create resiliency and state change, reduce stress, and breakthrough. We aren't just 'making art for art's sake', we are making art that transforms lives.

You can't believe what happens in women's lives when they spend time creating in this way! Finding their authentic voice, image, and story is a gorgeous revelation to witness!

I am grateful to share this work based on 30 years of research, which has touched tens of thousands of women worldwide.

Color of Woman is more than a training—it’s a quest. This nine-month journey guides you to uncover your own unique voice while preparing you to teach Intentional Creativity®.

Through The Alchemical Compass, a dynamic framework for transformation, you will move through five distinct terrains based on feminine archetypes—each designed to integrate, catalyze, and evolve your creative practice. In each area you will write and paint from the perspective of the archetypes.

Along the way, you will build a powerful body of work, including five major archetypal paintings, writing explorations, and intentional actions that shape your life, work, and impact. This is deep, life-altering work. The structured container of the compass and archetypes provides the foundation you need to experience true creative freedom.

The 13-Step Intentional Creativity® Method

You will learn a process for connecting with your Soul and bringing what you discover into view using the 13-step Intentional Creativity Method. Many of the images you see on these pages, Shiloh's and student images, have been created using this process as the gateway.

This powerful method of creative discovery can be applied to any creative endeavor, including the healing arts, as all creativity is fundamentally a healing process. This work has been used in prisons, schools, hospitals, clinics, therapy, recovery work and at university.

At the heart of the Color of Woman Training is discovering your Soul's true calling and integrating what you discover your Soul-work. We call this discovery your sacred assignment - that which is yours to cause and create.

If you are living your life but feeling unfulfilled or restless, this journey will bring you to a state of wholeness. Imagine a space in which all aspects of yourself are celebrated, including your purpose, your passion, and the big dreams you haven't been able to realize yet. You KNOW you are meant for something greater.

This Self Initiation is the experience from which true abundance can spring forth as a portal of possibility! Truly, there is a deep rooted enthusiasm that arises in our lives when we actually CHOOSE to say a full bodied YES!

We will show you how to lead this work in a diversity of ways including in hour long sessions virtually like coaching, but also how to use it with guided journeys, in corporate settings, and in luxury retreats. Any way you ALREADY offer your work - Intentional Creativity can add and amplify the diversity and richness of your offerings.

Intentional Creativity in collaboration with your work in the world

For those of you who are guides of others, this exploration calls upon you to access and unlock your sacred information, redefine how you wish to serve with your gifts, and clarify who you wish to work with in the future. You will develop a creative process that is unique to you while learning the essential teachings of Intentional Creativity.

Through learning the essential teachings of Intentional Creativity that you can use for the rest of your life, you will also develop unique creative processes that you can share with your beloved clients. If you lead workshops, guide circles, offer coaching, make presentations or lead journeys of any kind in any field, you will be able to amplify your offerings, increase your pricing, and bring living color to your offerings. Talk about a unique edge! In the age of AI and mass production - a truly authentic person living their soul calling is a powerful stand out in a crowded marketplace.

Color of Woman Training accesses and liberates YOUR innate self-expression. Your innate self-expression SHOWS you the pathway to your Soul Calling.

Color of Woman shares a lineage of teachings passed from hand to hand and heart to heart. Intentional Creativity is as old as the first humans who created art and began to tell their story on rock walls with red ochre. Here at MUSEA, our lineage dates back close to 100 years, starting with our Art Ancestors, two women who passed their teachings onto two women who passed them onto Shiloh Sophia.

Color of Woman invites participants to inhabit the fullness of the Artist-self and learn to guide others to awaken their Artist-selves through Intentional Creativity.

We are so glad you are considering joining us, so we want to share about what Intentional Creativity is and why you would want to explore it as part of your life path.

Color of Woman welcomes all ages!

Students in their 20s to elders in their 80s are welcome and embraced in the circle. We benefit from our shared experiences, wisdom, new ideas, and fresh perspectives.

We collaborate with all cultural traditions, and orientations. Celebrating the beauty of our diversity in our expression of the Divine Feminine.

We would love to add your dot to the map below representing over 600 Intentional Creativity graduates who are now part of the Guild.

If you identify as Black, Indigenous or a Woman of Color you are invited to join us for monthly gatherings hosted by Color of Woman Graduates. Our DEI work continues powerfully through our lineage.

"I really appreciate the organization and delivery of this course. Color of Woman has been very good for me. I’ve loved exploring the depths of my psyche, painting, healing, finding my voice, and reclaiming my power. I’ve loved being in communion with exciting women around the globe. This reinforced my sense of social justice and equanimity. Prior to my engagement with Intentional Creativity, I was lost to myself, a mere shadow of who I was and who I can be. This has been a healing journey for me. Sending much love and gratitude."

~ 2023 Color of Woman Student, Daria Cronic

"I am amazed, looking back now, at the magnitude of the work I feel I have done, we all have, in this program. I feel I have stumbled onto my truest passion, albeit at age 72! Color of Woman has given me an entirely new way of relating to myself and to the world, and much, much more than I can possibly say. Now I need to grow my wings. I just started reading more of the Vision Book and all the wisdom and insights I gained getting to know Caron and Eden McCloud. Lots of beautifully written and rendered gems of wisdom and inspiration. I can picture little Shiloh. Everyone on the team has been wonderful and supportive. I scrolled through some of my old posts and there was so much thoughtfulness, time, encouragement, and kindness that was given by the entire Team throughout my journey, all along the way. Thank you so much for all the love, guidance, and magic eyes. I would have never thought two years ago, after having seen much uncertainty with medical treatment, the state of the country and world, hand surgery, and COVID within those two years, that I had the best time of my life ahead of me. I feel incredibly fortunate and privileged to be here and part of this special community of divine goddesses."

~2023 Color of Woman Student, Susan Bessey

"Color of Woman is an incredible journey to examine your heart and soul and learn how to put one foot in front of the other and MAKE YOUR DREAMS HAPPEN! This has been so meaningful for me. People who know me see the changes and see me stepping into my life courageously. I have so much gratitude for Shiloh, the many supportive teachers, and my dear sisters traveling this path alongside me. We have all encouraged and witnessed each other on the way. Such a blessing!"

~ Intentional Creativity® Teacher, Patty Iammatteo: United States 2018

What would you create in your life if you could courageously create a life path that reflects who you truly are, inside and out?

At MUSEA University, we hold true that each woman has an internal codex of information that is unique to her and who she is. Our practice of intuitive painting, storytelling and circle creates the 'perfect storm' that invites this internal wisdom to move from the invisible realms to the visible realms. The painting is the artifact that remains, the evidence, and serves as a visual symbol and oracle of insight.

How would it feel to have an integrated whole system practice that includes your heart, body, mind, field, and soul?

The act of creating is a sacred practice, a way of connecting with the Spirit of Life. At times, we experience art as a calling from the universe, and our response can be painting images that bring healing and possibilities that didn’t exist before.

We believe artists of all genres balance the scales of the universe by contributing to the profound medicine of beauty. Intentional Creativity® brings beauty while creating a deeper level of internal access to your soul's desires, which we call your soul work.

"Creative Expression is how the Soul communicates. Everyone needs a time in their life when they are FREE to explore how their inner world informs the world around them. We are all equally creative. It is through creativity that we each realize liberation!"
