Mia Walters, 2022 Graduate
I noticed a deeper trust and recognition of the truth of my intuition. Increased confidence in myself in general, and specifically as an artist. As well as, the ability to do things even if I am experiencing fear. The transformation of limiting beliefs within myself.
Muse Painting:
Helen Spedding, 2022 Graduate
My biggest accomplishment was regaining my confidence in myself and the knowledge that I hold. It gave me the ability to ask questions, seek the answers within, know myself, trust myself, and have the confidence to claim and share with others the gifts that I have. Today I just sat lay down brow, heart, and belly on the earth to surrender and listen, knowing that I have the choice to do this anytime. I gave myself permission to ask; what is it I really want? I don't remember ever doing that before.
Soulfire Painting: "Flora’s Wytchfire".
Norfolk, U.K.
True Whiting, 2022 Graduate
It is an experience that can not fully be put into words but it will change your life--the way leaving home, getting married, getting divorced, or becoming a parent changes you. It will make you a better person, and you will make art that you had no idea you had in you. I can't thank everyone enough. This is an incredibly well-thought-through program and I felt incredibly supported--I consider myself to be pretty independent and yet I was so happy for every resource and every drop of support offered. This program took me outside of anything I have known before so it was very comforting to know that all the support was there that was needed, and more.
Painting: La Vida Es Un Carnaval
USA
MAASA, 2022 Graduate
The deep dives through every painting assignment really revealed the medicine of Intentional Creativity. I painted more than 13 major paintings in the last 9 months. Each process was an intimate exploration of my internal terrain. Painting in this way has been an anchor to who I choose to be.
Artifact Painting: "Breath Of Creation"
Nelson, BC, Canada
Krystal Dyan, 2022 Graduate
The use of words barely scratches the surface of how I feel, or what has changed in me at a very deep level of confidence, growth, skill, and polish!
A deep bow to each and everyone on the team, and for Shiloh’s high-level professionalism in how she has structured this training! I am so grateful to everyone for everything! 🙏💜✨
Talisman Painting:
Teri! Freesmeyer, 2022 Graduate
I noticed changes in my confidence in following what I am called, freedom from guilt to allow time to slow down, listen and do the work I am called to do within myself, improved in risk-taking and decision making when I am uncertain whether on a canvas or in life outside my studio.
Artist Painting: Artiste Dancing Hair
Springfield IL, USA
Monique Byres, 2022 Graduate
My biggest accomplishment was working through and processing some difficult past wounds on the canvas, finding a sense of peace, freedom, healing, and more self-awareness. Learning to acknowledge my inner critic but no longer let it have power over me as I did prior to beginning Color of Woman.

I loved how Shiloh goes with the flow, our impromptu group, conversations, and discussions that fostered new meaningful connections; relationships, and friendships. I loved seeing the exhibit of Sue’s paintings!!! and staying in the dorm; the beautiful, pink fainting couches that we got to sleep on! and I loved loved loved the amazing meal that Jonathan created for us.

Color of Woman helped me achieve a deep self Love and appreciation in my relationship with ME, and great training for focusing, concentrating, intention, and growing to my sacred masculine and feminine in alignment, in coherence with all of ME. Remembering, Knowing, and transforming everything into LOVE. I believe in myself and my gifts more than ever. I see myself, my senses got so much more open, and my life is now really reclaimed as an Artist, Mystic, and modern Priestess. I can focus, give boundaries, put my intention, create and let the muse take her space in me, SHE IS ME. I saw her entering my Body as my light Body, my Divinity. My connections with the spiritual world have been now much clearer and my commitment liberates me.
Petra Samira, 2021 Graduate
Every step - every painting, every learning - had its challenges that I overcame. The greatest achievement for me is how I feel at this moment: fulfilled, grateful, joyful, and liberated.
Codex Painting:
Bianca Patetl-Flowers, 2021 Graduate
It is a life-transforming journey of self-initiation whilst being guided through the subtle realms by an invisible hand and a loving guide.
I value the incredible connection to my ancestral knowing and magic, the ancestral healing that occurred, and the weaving of the magic between unmanifest and manifest. Actually seeing tangible proof of drawing the dreaming into the material.
Talisman Painting:
Rose Donaghy, 2021 Graduate
Color of Woman is probably one of the best courses I have ever done! You learn amazing skills to paint for yourself, tap into your own information, and share and teach others. You get all the support you need and more!

For anyone considering Color Woman IC Teacher Training, I'd say... Yes Yes Yes! By all means! Jump in heart first! Know that it takes a deep commitment to yourself and the community you become a part of. It’s like being in cosmic grad school! You may find yourself, like me, expanding and deepening and refining and strengthening yourself beyond what you could imagine! Let yourself be surprised! I never imagined that this kind of healing was possible, but I know it from personal experience! Give yourself this life-changing teacher training and when you feel ready, when you are “Healed Enough”, then like so many of us, you will begin sharing the truth that it is possible for women to heal their own lives.
Oh-and even though I wouldn’t call this a ‘how to teach how to paint course, my painting skills and intuition to follow my impulses on the canvas has expanded as well!
ALCHEMIST/SoulFire Painting: “Sacred Worth”
Clinton WA, USA
Noni Collins, 2021 Graduate
Each foundational painting flowed into the next, unfolding and transforming me on the pathway to evolving consciousness in love and unity with all that is. Exquisitely interwoven was the creation of a body of work that represents me as an emerging Intentional Creativity Teacher, and the unique gifts I have to offer in service to others.
Color of Woman Training transformed my way of being in the world. My soul feels honored and nourished. I shine like a newborn, authentic and aligned both inside and out.
Visionary Painting:
Intentional Creativity® assisted me to connect more fully with my sacred, loving soul center. My muse is now active and guides me with her playful and fun energy. Additionally, it has prepared me to teach my first Intentional Creativity® class on my own and it turned out so wonderfully. The entire experience, and especially this piece have taught me to: Know you are scared, loved, and precious, I want you to shine like the stars you were created from.
Painting: Owl Woman
United States, California
The incredible surprise and teaching of this painting was that owning my Fierceness brought me to the most vulnerable part of myself that was in need of healing, acceptance and complete surrender to embody the Wisdom of my Oracle. She showed me that Fierceness and Vulnerability were not excluding each other, but on the contrary, that the first when properly owned and acknowledged, was the Sacred guardian of the other, and the Sacred path to self-responsibility.
Painting: The Guardian
Canada, Montreal
Everything you want, every gift you bring, every medicine you hold begins and ends with living in alignment with your true self. You serve no one by holding back, by filtering yourself, or by burying your calling deep inside you. It creates trauma in your body temple. STOP! It’s time to honor who you are. It’s time to honor your calling. It’s time to shine. Be Open-Hearted. Be Youeverything you want, every gift you bring, every medicine you hold begins and ends with living in alignment with your true self.

Painting: Open Hearted
United States, Florida
I learned a lot in Color of Woman. Apart from learning painting and teaching techniques, it was this growing assertiveness: I learned something, then I taught it and in doing so realized that I had indeed learned it! If you take this class you are going to grow up a lot and enjoy the ride. And we will not at the least understand, afterwards, how you could change so much in so little time!
Painting: My fearless and f**king fantastic Muse
Germany, Ingelheim am Rhein
The most valuable aspect of the training for me was the inquiry process and the challenges that presented themselves as we wrote along with each painting. Since taking this training I have more confidence and I feel like my creative juices are flowing constantly these days.
Painting: Cosmic Seeker of Truth
United States, California
During Color of Woman, I accomplished a level of self-discovery and confidence to BE An ARtist. I was able to establish a process to tap into creativity endlessly. Color of Woman is a great self-discovery journey to learn how to teach others to paint with a purpose a meaning and unleashed creativity.
Painting: The Secret Garden of Emotions
Australia, Queensland
The Color of Woman training was a framework from which I could journey to learn about myself, to deconstruct myself, and to remember in a new way. After the class, I was able to reveal to the people connected to me that I am an artist, a painter, and a teacher.
Painting: Spiritual Touch
United States, Maine
Since taking this training I have noticed that I am more able to step into the fullness of who I am and not apologize in any way, shape, or form for being me! Through taking this training you will find out that you are stronger than you ever thought possible.
Painting: Sovereign Queen of my Heart
Australia, Victoria
The most valuable aspect of the training were the heart-felt teachings that stem from love. Through Color of Woman I believe in myself more, I have faith in me and in the women around me, I face my fears. If you're thinking about taking this course go for it and meet your truth, decide to matter!
Painting: Healing of the Feminine
Germany, Münster
It's impossible to only choose one accomplishment. If I had to sum it up into only one accomplishment, I would say that at the end of the entire experience I had grown from a person who had only ever painted one time before to building a business offering painting workshops!
Painting: The Way Finder
United States, California
"I have painted with Shiloh Sophia over an 8-year period and graduated Color of Woman in 2019….and I am still constantly amazed at what shows up. I teach mostly privately, and lead WOMEN's healing retreats (which always includes painting now) & everyone who has been involved has had amazing experiences. I love my healing work and am ever so grateful to have studied with Shiloh. It has added such an incredible dimension to the work I do and for the women I serve.❤️⭕️" ~ Margaret Bettiol - 2019 Color of Woman Graduate
I improved my focus and flow through Color of Woman. I noticed my heart expanding and the desire to teach kindling within me. I'd encourage anyone interested in the training to jump in! This is my painting the Artist Talisman who sits in the East. She is the stellar aspect. There is also a sister painting that represents the terrestrial aspect of the same energy.

Sanctum is the keeper of the secrets yet to be revealed - the fullest and wildest expression of woman: Wild, Holy, and Free.
Painting: Sanctum
United States, New York
This Legend painting is my voice, and the voice of Grandmother Moon, reflecting and transmitting the unconditional love of the Creator in the world. She has stepped into her position of leadership, bearing the sigil of Woman Awake in the World on her brow. Spirit Bear and the ancestors in the Aurora Borealis have her back. The 7 pointed star embodies teachings about love, forgiveness, healing, suffering, humility, fear, and holiness.

Dream Weaver is about taking the plunge into life and surrendering to the journey. She has solid footing on the earth and her spirit is awakened, ready for adventure.
Painting: Dream Weaver
France, Clermont-Ferrand
I used to be afraid to decide because I didn't want to erase any possibilities. But decisive action opens previously unimagined possibilities. And that’s how life unfolds and moves forward.
Painting: Living the Vision
United States, Pennsylvania
After years of leaving myself off the to-do list, I'm feeling free to fly, to learn, to shine, and to trust my instincts.
Painting: Unlocked
Canada, Alberta
We are here to discover our own power and use it to do good. I have become the Shero of my own journey, ready to lead others on their path to discovery.
Painting: The Cosmic Co-Creator
United States, Tennessee
The most valuable part of Color of Woman to me was just showing up! It was worth the money and time, commitment. The connection was spectacular. To have a circle of powerful women that are awakening like myself was a special experience. This has helped me to have a way to share my gifts. This is Goldie, The golden ambassador. She with all her wisdom is one with the sun. Prepared for the journey she holds all that she needs. She is the light.
Painting: The Golden Ambassador
United States, Georgia
I spent my life searching for something I could not name. I wanted to bring more peace to myself and to the world through my art and just being more peaceful was too passive for me. I didn’t know how to move forward into active peacebuilding but I found the answers through the Color of Woman training. Shiloh Sophia provided the process, information, and tools I needed to be able to share my passion for peace with my beloveds. I am now prepared to work as an artist and teacher in my community and the world while putting my own peacebuilding spin into the process.
Painting: The Way Finder United States, Michigan
Never in my life could I imagine a place where all falls away. Where I am so whole yet I feel as if my borders, the lines of my body shimmer and flow into the universe, the canvas, the portal. This freedom is nothing I’ve ever felt before. Hearing and knowing, learning and discerning, making good beauty, even if it doesn’t seem beautiful, I become One in a way I could never have imagined. Oh, I am full of gratitude to be in this moment where I stand, with paint and brush and the cosmos whispering to me, ”Yes, this is you now. Enjoy.”
Painting: She Who Tango's United States, Colorado
Before deciding to register for the Color of Woman training, I had been living a life of seeking something that I could feel deep within in my bones, but could not name. I tried to find it in my relationships, in my career, in food, and in piles of self-help books after the aforementioned left me depleted. Although I came out wiser about how my patterns and habits had been playing out in my life, and how I could live more from the heart and soul, I was still left searching.
Then, in March 2013, my husband was diagnosed with cancer and I was flooded with an urgency to find the “thing” I had been feeling all the years before. I was lead, for 3 years, down a path of healing my relationship with God, reclaiming my feminine power, reconnecting to my calling as a healer, and then finally landing in the arms of Shiloh and Color of Woman. I knew immediately that this was it, this is what my soul had been longing for. The Color of Woman training is utterly life-changing. I am no longer seeking. I am beginning to live in a truly empowered, grateful, creative, awakened, self-loving way. Now, more than ever, I know and claim my worthiness as a woman in the world. Never before was I able to say, with truthfulness, that I love myself. Never before have I been able to see the gifts my pain and heartbreak have given me, until now. This training has been both a re-birthing and a homecoming. If I were to describe it in one word, it would without a doubt be metamorphosis!
Painting: She Moves Softly Canada, British Columbia
Color of Woman absolutely changed my life in 2014 and I am forever grateful to Shiloh and to this extraordinary community of sisterhood for it. While I had always made art (I even have a BFA degree in it, for whatever that's worth) and I had always done energy healing work, Color of Woman not only allowed me to merge the two into an effective methodology with which to reach more people more deeply, it also changed me to the core.
It changed my art work, too! It allowed me to touch the most profound places within myself in my interior, heal them, and begin to interact with the world from a changed perspective of inspiration and abundance, as if the exterior manifestation of my work truly reflected the light I had discovered inside of me. I finally had not only the authentic tools for dreaming my creations into reality, but I had the support network to help me hold it - the red thread is powerful beyond belief!
Yes, all this has grown from Color of Woman! If you're wondering, ask your Muse and go for it!
Painting: Treasure Yourself Teotihuacán, Mexico
Before Color of Woman, I was lost—I felt like a soldier without a mission, with seemingly no purpose. No, I had Purpose, but I didn’t know what to do next to move it forward. Two years of waiting and I still hadn’t found clarity on my Next Move. I finally just ASKED what I was to do and got the Answer, “Sign up for Color of Woman!” Cardinal feathers floated down out of the sky at that moment! I was lost, but now I’m found. Amazing Grace.
Painting: Muse United States, Michigan
Color of Woman was such a powerful catalyst for me to use and grow my creative skills! I never dreamed that I would be writing music as a soundtrack for my paintings. I never knew that every day was all about opening portals to my own creativity. I am stepping forward and not looking back! My heart is full of gratitude to Shiloh and her amazing team for reaching across the ethers to connect with me.
Painting: The Queen United States, Ohio
Make time for it if you want to shake things up and change. This training is transformational! It’s expertly designed and lovingly taught by women who guide you into your depths. Prepare to be amazed, inspired, and altered in ways that expand your consciousness and unleash new forms of self-expression and service. It’s a deep dive into the soul that expanded my consciousness, awakened my inner artist, and set her voice free!
Painting: She Who is Wise and Brave United States, California
The Color of Woman Training changed the direction of my life. I graduated in 2013 & have since taught up to 100 workshops for young girls & women in my local community, nationally & internationally with ongoing retreats in Greece & Bali. I have also plunged into my ultimate dream of pursuing a career as a professional contemporary Australian artist. Color of Woman taught me to take what lives in inside, outside. Forever grateful. Say YES!
Australia: Bundaberg
I met Shiloh in Dec. 2013 and my life has never been the same. The experience has been life changing to say the least. I have transformed many “old stories” into the authentic truth and can now say I am an artist, teacher, mentor, sister and someone who is learning what I am here to cause and create in the world. I now have my own art paintings up in a business called Sacred Money Studio and Prosperity Pie shop (since April 2106), where I also sell prints and cards as well as my original paintings. This has brought me into contact with many people I would not have otherwise met and who tell me how the images speak to their hearts and souls.
This body of work that Shiloh offers us, does just that, connects us to something deeper within ourselves, and gives us a vehicle to do transformative healing and empowerment. I have co-led workshops with other Color of Woman teachers and assisted at their workshops as well, and continue to offer classes and one on one mentoring. I love witnessing my Beloveds discover a deeper truth and a reconnection to their own creative soul.
I am continuing to work on my website and grow my business skills, as well as spend time in my studio being with my Muse. This work is so profound, transforming and so needed in the world right now. I know my soul assignment is serving the Divine and showing up to share my hope and Light in the world for others. I know today that I am “good enough” and the world needs what I have to offer. Thank you, thank you.
Painting: In Sisterhood We Rise United States, Oregon
I’ve often likened Color of Woman to a college for women. The Intentional Creativity® Teacher Training Certification one can gain from going through the training is as rigorous and thoughtful as any other advanced degree. I feel qualified to make this comparison, as I was a doctoral candidate in a Ph.D. program for Cognitive Psychology.
The Color of Woman course work is so thoughtfully and lovingly organized so as to lead you on a journey into understanding your soul work. I believe this to be a lifelong missive, but Color of Woman can serve as your launching pad, and also help you work through or out of patterns that are not serving you or your loved ones.
I strongly believe in the work that is done here, and have witnessed first hand other’s transformations as a reader for women who participated in the current class. I think I can state unanimously that we all feel called to serve, maybe in different ways, but helping you on your path to being you as you can be.

This is my Alchemist painting.
She wears a crown of sovereignty regarding heart.
She knows that her heart is at the center of all her choices.
She is always seeing the symbols and images that hold the medicine that is needed.
Painting: Queen of My Own Domain United States, Texas
Saying “yes!” To Color of Woman was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I knew I would learn about teaching others about Intentional Creativity® and develop my painting skills. What I didn’t fully realize was the depth of the journey. This was a mind and soul-expanding process that was so incredibly enriching. I feel so empowered and confident in stepping into my cosmic cowgirl boots and bringing this colorful healing process to the world. So much astonishing magic occurred for me along the way.
I highly encourage anyone who is healed enough and hears the call to jump in with their whole heart. It’s a time-consuming and challenging process, and it was worth every moment. Shiloh, the team, and your sister’s journeying along with you will transform your life and belief systems. Do it!
Painting: She Sees United States, Maryland
I am a Maori woman from New Zealand. The role of our spirit and life essence has permeated my view all my life.
The Color of Woman training has been a deepening experience bringing together my knowledge and life experiences in the social justice and therapeutic worlds.
The use of Art and Intentional Creativity® with Shiloh Sophia has opened up possibilities that would otherwise not be considered when working with healing or trauma. Words do not do justice to the magnitude of this sacred work.
I am eternally thankful to Shiloh and Jonathan. The support provided is second to none! I am forever changed and proudly call myself an Artist!
Painting: Hine Ahi - winnowing woman Australia, Queensland
I hadn’t planned on joining Color of Woman, but it was such a strong call from my soul, that I just had to listen to it! If I would have started thinking about it, I would have found all kinds of excuses for not doing it!
I gifted myself with this training for my 60th birthday. I wanted to do something special and celebrate, instead of becoming depressed about becoming a “senior” citizen ….
This year has been the greatest adventure of my life that culminated in the “in-person” graduation gathering in Santa Cruz! I don’t have words to express how grateful I am to have followed this training and met Shiloh Sophia, the Intentional Creativity® team, and all the beautiful women who walked on this path with me. There is such a strong connection thanks to the Red Thread and so much loving support. It’s like if the pieces of the puzzle are now coming into the right places and the voice of the critic is more and more replaced by the voice of the Muse, thanks to the fact that I am finally prioritizing creativity in my life. So if you feel called, don’t start thinking about it, trust your inner wisdom and go for it!
Painting: Alchemist Goddess of Liberty Lasne, Belgium
Doing Color of Woman was one of the best things I have ever done - the best gift I ever gave myself.
I just submitted a book to a publisher today that will be my first art and poetry book. It is mostly the work that I created in Color of Woman - and none of it would have been possible without the experience.
If you are thinking about... DO IT!!!!
Painting: Elishaba-Visionary Warrior North Carolina, United States
I highly recommend this incredible program!
You will enter a deep container of support for growth on every level. You will create art that will heal your being and activate healing in the world. You will dance with your edges around the commitment to self. You will find yourself among the most amazing women in the world holding you in the power of the red thread.
When you are complete with this journey you will be changed and have options to change others through Intentional Creativity®.
Painting: ARRIVAL by Celeste Califonia, United States
Sherle Stevens, 2019 Graduate
No one has ever inspired me like this or comes close to showing me how to look for a loftier octave than I thought was in me. Color of Woman taught me how to reach for the broader love, the higher thought, the deeper service. To say Shiloh Sophia changed my life is not a powerful enough statement to make. I actually never intended to paint or draw again in my life after my 40-year career ended nearly 20 years ago. I have been Born, not reborn. Born as an Artist, Revived as a Teacher, and the greatest part- Born in learning how to Serve… and pay the gift forward. I have found peace within myself I have never known because of the alchemy of sharing this work. It has already transformed each Beloved I have taught, even as it was transforming me towards my Higher Calling as a Teacher.
Painting: THRESSA: LETTING THE SPARKS FLY! Texas , United States
Dewi Lim, 2019 Graduate
For someone like me who likes to be original, I was pleasantly surprised and totally fulfilled with how malleable the frameworks of what we have been given with Intentional Creativity® satisfied my innovative, rebel Creatrix. Being able to relax into the content as I grew in my confidence and awareness of what Intentional Creativity® is for me was priceless! I want to celebrate how in alignment with my Self I now feel as an Artist. This is a direct result of my choosing to participate in the Color of Woman Training and allowing myself to sweetly surrender into the genius of Intentional Creativity®.
Painting: Muse
Hawaii, United States
"I graduated in 2014 and totally reinvigorated my self-expression and creativity, released deep grief, made very special connections and lifelong friendships, learned to live a bigger creative and intentional life, discovered my voice and a method to bundle with other healing arts modalities for teaching and supporting the betterment of humankind (yes, it’s that powerful)!"
