Meet the Red Thread Training
Instructors and Support Team

The Red Thread Training is based on the work and research of Shiloh Sophia over a 25-year period of exploring and leading women’s circles. She will lead primary video modules with special guest appearances from Intentional Creativity Teachers who will be providing teachings and templates you can use to create your own offerings.

Online leadership is provided by our Guild team - Jenafer Owen as the Director of Curriculum and other Musea Guild members that you will learn about on this page.

Shiloh Sophia

Musea Curator and Founder of the Red Thread Training

Shiloh Sophia lives life as a great adventure narrated by the creative fire of her Muse! She has dedicated her life to the belief that self-expression is a basic human right and shares her message with thousands around the world through her paintings, poetry, and teachings. She leads a global movement of revolutionary education focused in Intentional Creativity®, as offered in the Color of Woman Teacher Training. She co-founded a Studio and Center for Intentional Creativity®, MUSEA, in Sonoma, California, with her husband Jonathan. Most mornings, she can be found having tea with her Muse, pouring over quantum physics, philosophy, and sacred texts in the Red Thread Cafe.
