Color of Woman will open for registration soon. We begin October 1, 2021. The pre-requisite course is Legend and begins August 1st. Learn more here: www.thelegendcourse.com

Archetypes and The Alchemical Compass

In each Archetype we encounter on the quest, we embody, paint, write and learn

You are encouraged to Teach during the training as soon as you feel ready and are called. Yes, you can earn while you learn!

We are excited to share with you the fullest and most comprehensive intuitive painting teacher training on the planet! You will create 5 major archetypal paintings as a body of work through the context of a chosen vision for 9 months. We begin with the heart of your Legendary Self, then move around the alchemical compass to each Archetype.  

Color of Woman is a Quest. You are searching for YOUR own unique content. All of the work we do together is approached from within the context that you are on your own personal quest, as well as the quest to become an Intentional Creativity Teacher. 

This dynamic duo causes transformation so life altering that we need a VERY clear container - hence the compass and archetypes. The intensity of the structure creates the freedom for you to explore... 

During the training we will be journeying through five terrains, moving around a medicine wheel we call The Alchemical Compass. It is alchemical because so much of who we are is being transformed, integrated and catalyzed (lit on fire). As we journey into each terrain, we will explore material specific to that place, which prepares us for the next part of the path. 

All the while you are building the body of work required for Certification in painting, writing and actions that open your future.

If you feel you have a sacred assignment waiting to be brought forth, the training provides the container in which you define, articulate and communicate your soul work. We are dedicated to giving you the tools to bring creativity to life in your practice and path. ~ Shiloh Sophia

Shiloh Sophia's 2020 Legend painting in process: Mystic Template

Connect with your Identity! The Archetype which is in the heart of the compass, is your Legendary Self, your internal storyteller and image maker. The story of your life informs all of her choices, so we start with HER and she begins to re-organize your universe. Yes, she is where the warning label comes in! 

Legend is the Pre-Requisite Course for Color of Woman. Continue reading to learn more or click here.

Next, we move to Muse (North), Artist (East), Alchemist (South), and Visionary (West). By the end of the training, you arrive back at the heart of your story, the Center. This is the place where you become a Teacher if you choose and receive your invitation to join our ongoing graduate community, the Intentional Creativity Guild.

Some paintings from our past classes

You do not have to be an experienced painter, most of our students are not. Many who were professional college trained artists say they learned more about painting from Shiloh Sophia, a rogue artist, than they did in school! WHA??? You can also find more shares from our graduates here.

About the 13-Step Intentional Creativity® Painting Method taught by Shiloh Sophia: If you are new to painting, many use the framework taught in the Teacher Training, known as the 13-step method, which is what you see in the images on this page. The painting process can be duplicated along with any theme you desire to teach. What is taught in the training is not exclusive to the 13-step method. We also teach Intentional Creativity® Sessions 'mini workshops' that you can do with simple watercolor paper and paint, as well as how to lead Red Thread Circle in person and online.

At the heart of the Color of Woman Training is an integration of your personal path with your life work path. When there is alignment, we call this your soul work or sacred assignment. Women who walk between two worlds are often seeking the form through which they can live a life where all aspects of themselves get to be included, celebrated, and create abundance! Color of Woman is a quest that is capable of integrating the many facets of powerfully unique and complex women. The portal of possibility opens!

About LEGEND: MYSTIC, The Pre-Requisite Course for Color of Woman

LEGEND is your first of 5 Archetypal Paintings for the Color of Woman Training. We ask that each student take this course as it creates the foundational story, legend, and mythos for your nine-month quest.

If you have already taken Legend within the last 10 years, then the pre-requisite requirement is fulfilled. Many students choose to do a fresh painting of their Legend to discover new wisdom and insight.

If you have not taken Legend, you can still apply for Color of Woman now. Our team will assist you with registration. We provide plenty of time for you to complete your Legend painting before we begin in March.

Thank you Shiloh Sophia! Your teachings changed my life many times in the last 9 years. I've done 3 Legends and signed up for VIVID because I'm ready for the next shift. The last Legend Oracle and Ally was mind-blowing! Many symbols I painted in 2019 for Legend I saw happened in 2020 - I am the Oracle! My consciousness (sub and un-consciousness) already knew what was coming. This experience made me see myself in a new way. Thank you again! ~ Intentional Creativity Teacher, Evelyne Verret
