Dear Ones, Iām in Mexico for the holidays teaching art and I was thinking of you and our struggles to become. Hereās an approach I learned from my 2 mamas.
* Why asking if you are good enough wonāt work out
* How our environment keeps us grasping for belonging
* Considering your ideal question for you as authentic to you
* My proposal of a better question
And yesā¦there are wrong questions and mistakes.
Loving you
Blessings Shiloh Sophia
Ps: pausing on my memoir for the holidays because itās a little depressing in this juncture. Iāve recorded the next episode but each time I try to push publish I just canāt yet.
pps this is a photo of me in the hammock yesterday contemplating my ideal question

Dear Ones, These are my thoughts this morning on
how much energy it takes to resist the power that be within and without
the power of rebellion but not just against outer structures but inner ones
the shaping of idenity and how art works with that
and
hereās an invitation to The Quickening - our upcoming training for those who also want to work with artist archetype
Love

Sometimes when you feel a smile in the body and you give the muse the pen or mic, sheāll give a poem to you right in that moment

Good Morning Community,
Wow did I have a big change, it is still taking time to arrive within meā¦but I wanted to share it with you and perhaps ask youā¦what is the IDEAL you have been living by and is there unconscious resistance that keeps you from receiving it?
* My ideal has changedā¦.here is the new one
* Invitation to interview with me for The Quickening
* What is your ideal? Has it changed over the years?
* Do you have an unconscious resistances that is informing your conscious ideal
Our community had an exquisite day this weekend of doing clean up at Wild Water Creek on Sonoma Mountain.
Blessings to each of you

Hello everyone! Please forgive me for a little foray into political discourse this past week. I am doing my best to show up for my community instead of going quiet. Because it directly relates to women and people of color and safety, and even the way that we self express, it actually comes into my lane. I will likely be complete with my commentary soon. But for now this is how Iām showing up. Take it or leave it. In a way I am modeling, intentional creativity through sharing my process in community. This is the painting Iāve been working on during the cycle. #wetpaint

Hi community! I know thereās so much going on, but please take a listen on a walk or while youāre painting if you are interested at all in why I am taking a stand in the middle, which is not a neutral stand. This arises out of my concerns for the golden age rhetoric that Iām seeing and also how we are being so divided and just saying, actually that doesnāt need to happen.
Onward with love š

Good morning everyone! I am dropping in here with a regular tea with the muse episode with a teaching you will find in all of our work. Iāve reframed the language a little bit with hopes that concept is graspable and actionable. This is part of a series of talks and teachings designed to increase consciousness by one percent through the awareness of the field.
The photo was taken seconds ago, as I was out for a super early morning walk and discovered the a lucky snapshot of the invisible self and her wolf companion out howling in the dark with meā¦(in water on the sidewalk)

These are rough and curious times. Today I have been particularly challenged and I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I know sometimes my life can seem shiny and amazing, and it is. But I also go through all the really hard things just like so many of you. I have lots of tools and so my resilience may be different in my capacity to respond, but I too am being challenged. This is a time for ecstatic discipline. I could not be more grateful for intentional creativity, and for this community. this is not about misery loves company, but it is about not feeling singled out in anything hard that youāre experiencing. ā¤ļø Shiloh Sophia

Hello everyone! Get a cuppa tea or coffee, a journal and letās dive in! There are lots of juicy nuggets in here to explore and begin to practice on your own!
āwho lives in here?ā Sue Hoya Sellers.
This episode explores the neuroscience of your inner voice and then illuminates what I think is the missing piece to understanding the greatest influence on your inner dialogueā¦
* How the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system form a matrix for right decision-making
* The essential stress response that you get to choose āfindā
* How self-expression is the key to work with the Neuroplasticity of the brain, because youāre using your body and not just your thoughts
* Reframing the critic as fierce wisdom so that discernment is alive, but self criticism diminishes
* Your internal dialogue influences every single area of your life, even though itās happening within you, therefore itās impacting everyone and everything
* How flow state can get interrupted and how to work with new patterns
* How we work with the concept of the muse to regulate the critic
* Invitations to join us for our upcoming two week class and certification training with group coaching
This is the detail of the painting for our year long course Abracadabra

Blessings on your day!

Good evening from California, I found this poem of mine from 2019 and it made me think about how much we focus on being openā¦Versus how little time we spend refining, emptying and being quiet. This is a call to strip the altar of the old energy and invite some emptiness and recentering.

Painting in Process - Animystica - Cura Archetype
Good Morning Muses!
I woke up smelling the change in the air and the seeing the light shifting towards this coming Equinox, officially on the 22nd at 5:43 am pst. For those in the Northern Hemisphere we turn towards Autumn. For those in the Southern Hemisphere we turn towards Spring. On September 18 we have a partial Lunar Eclipse visible from Mexico, Canada and the United States. The moon is 97percent full as of this moment and will be full in one day and 11 hours and 38 minutes. There are things we can count on, at least for now. We can count on the moons relationship to the sunā¦.let us honor that relationship.
I would love to be someone in your life you can count on to bring you insight and inspirationā¦I would love for our community at MUSEA and the Cura Council (our ceremonial branch) to provide a place of continuity and compassion. I would love for Intentional Creativity to provide a consistent go-to practice for you to be nourished by. Our community is going to be here for you, this is our sacred assignment. I would be ever so grateful to invite you to join us for a ceremony we have coming up is September 21 at 10am pst. Yes itās another Substack and yes there are scholarship free levels available. Here are the details.
The Substacks (Tea with the Muse, The Cura Council, and Gold Mind) we offer provide more immediate messaging in real time. Like todayās poem just landed this morning so it is freshy-fresh.I also have a complimentary class coming up on Friday, Attunement Manifestation.
Thresholds
for Equinox
There are these
strange quiet cycles
where one life is completing
and the new one
is just beginning
There, in the in-between
Then it is time to nap under
the giant oak
with the first yellow leaves
of this season
and listen from insideThere are these
loud chaotic patterns
where who you were
isn't matching who you are becoming
and there is just so much noise
to stay the same
But you can'tThere in the spaces between spaces
Then it is time for you to sit in ceremony
listening to the wild geese moving
and the last of the pink cosmos
blooming and blowing
in a fresh wind from the South
There are these
dances that can only take place
at a crossroads
Dances for change that are
rhythmic and restless
Moving at the center of
the many directions and decisions
Some that you think you want and
some you do notYou,
you have outgrown your old life
Yet the path has yet to appear
clearly Then it is time
to slow way down,
to lay down right there
in the discomfort of the crossroads
Where you have always just
danced for your life, for survival
to keep going no matter what
Just Slow Down
The changing of the light
will point you in the right direction
when the time is readyIt is not your concern
how long this cycle will last
Many moons and eclipses
have already come and gone
After a time you will pick up
not where you left off
but somewhere new
Will you trust this?
Just as you trust the green
hills to turn gold and
then to green again? This is what we do,
we Earth, we change
and we keep changing
crossing the thresholds
at each point of this
sacred wheel turning
Turning turning turning
towards center
turning towards you
--Thinking of you as I am about to have morning cafe with kitties,
