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 I’m 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 I’ve been working on during the cycle. #wetpaint

Hi community! I know there’s so much going on, but please take a listen on a walk or while you’re 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 I’m seeing and also how we are being so divided and just saying, actually that doesn’t need to happen.
Onward with love 💗

Hello everyone! I’m so excited that we’re starting legend today! A seven day immersive experience. I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Ali Stoddard about why legend works and why we do it. Here’s that conversation.
We start today with circle ⭕️ and livestream on November 2.
Honoring this day as a day between worlds and giving things to all of the ancestors who make our work come to life! Shiloh Sophia

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. I’ve 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 me…(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 you’re experiencing. ❤️ Shiloh Sophia

Hello everyone! Get a cuppa tea or coffee, a journal and let’s dive in! There are lots of juicy nuggets in here to explore and begin to practice on your own!
“who lives in here?” 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 dialogue…
* How the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system form a matrix for right decision-making
* The essential stress response that you get to choose “find”
* How self-expression is the key to work with the Neuroplasticity of the brain, because you’re 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 it’s happening within you, therefore it’s 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 open…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.

We are just a few days into our year long course, abracadabra and you’re still welcome to join us

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 sun….let us honor that relationship.
I would love to be someone in your life you can count on to bring you insight and inspiration…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 it’s 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 today’s 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,

Good morning ☀️
I know how hard it is to make change. We all do. Make a change today ~ yes today! This will be worth it!
The goal is to arrive at action steps that are served from your subconscious.
Overview
* Choose one thing to change
* Activate imagination and create sacred space
* Connect with stars and sun and the mountains where you live
* Create a field condition for change
* Make a cognitive leap from the imaginal to the real honoring Neuroplasticity
* Illustrate the change/s
* Receive insight about your very next steps to take in this 24 hours
Plus ranch updates! A new feature I’m trying out to let you know what’s happening here. The photo is the sunrise at the Ranch @ Musea.
Intentional Creativity Process for making a change today through receiving heightened insights that result in action.
* Change: The first piece of paper is for the thing you want to change that you were shown or created - just a few strokes to indicate and honor.
* Changed: The second piece of paper is the change already happening and how that would look and feel
* Action: The third pierce of paper is for the prayer and action steps that are revealed to take.

Greetings everyone! In order to achieve attunement when you are creating your world with your word to yourself, there needs to be reciprocity. There is an often missed piece about the energy exchange of gathering and giving. For manifestation to be attuned and good for you and for all - the energy of giving and receiving in a sacred exchange is actually essential or there is mis-alignment. How do we condition our bodies to create in the fullness of our being-ness?To get into the optimal condition, we need to work with a collaborative idea - Nervous System Reciprocity
* In today’s episode, I’m going to relate giving and receiving to the nervous system function
* The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system aren’t a division but a collaboration
* You can consciously choose a different trauma response if you knew there was one available, there is
* Invitation to understand how these systems are influencing your capacity to create what you wantI hope you find it useful, I am no expert but am stretching to understand how to make things come to life in my life and support you in yours.Warmly,
Shiloh Sophia

my prayer… “little bit of grief move though me now”
* Ideas for navigating grief that may be different than what you’ve tried before
* Why I think it’s time for a new metaphor
* Alchemy and titration and teaspoons of water
* Heading to this canvas for Fire and Water 💦
* My relationship with traffic at the ranch and overcoming the shame
“Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go” Jamie Anderson
And in our case, that grief goes onto the canvas…

Dear Ones,
Good Morning on September 1! This is a message for the women who have gathered for Abracadabra, our yearlong course. Yet as I made it for them (you) this morning, I wondered if there was something in here for you too, here at Tea with the Muse. So I am sharing it with you even though that is a bit of a rogue move, I am here to be a disruptor and a weaver, both! If you haven’t join us yet, you are still welcome to join us (with $1000 savings through midnight).
Overview
* Exchanging peaches for songs and beads
* This isn’t a class, it is an exchange of energy
* We are not replacing other voices for mine, we are seeking yours
* Speaking words of power is what called us together into this portal
* Acknowledging that we called each other changes how it feels
* I won’t be at your dinner table but I am at the cafe with you, right now
* Our amazing guides have gathered
* Let us prepare our spaces and our schedules for a yearlong experience in community.
Whatever you are navigating, whatever you are feeling blessed by, I send a message of love to you this day. Blessings on your day,
Curate Shiloh Sophia
