Greetings! Enrollment for Red Thread Training 2021 is currently closed. To stay informed of 2022 registration and offerings from MUSEA, add your information here.
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 is the Director of Curriculum, supported by Intentional Creativity® Teacher and Guide, Amber Gould, and other Musea Guild members that you will learn about on this page.
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.

I am so thrilled to be a part of Red Thread Training. The time has come to carry on the teachings of the Red Thread when others need it most, with divine timing. Thank you Shiloh Sophia for gathering the people, and speaking and giving form to what is needed. I already have clinical therapists that want to sign up. They are ready. Here is some of what I say to people if they have not experienced a Red Thread Circle:
"Red Thread circles are a way for people of many different origins and paths to come together in an intentional space, to witness and be witnessed, to be present to the moment, and attend their own piece of the thread.
Within the Red Thread Circle, people feel grounded and inspired, they feel connected to self, other, and purpose. People often reflect never having had an experience that has ever compared. Red Thread circles are a clear field of connectivity. They bypass spiritual belief systems and religion which gives people an opportunity to experience connection in a new way. Because of this, I have been able to lead circles in many different settings and systems, professional, clinical and personal, crossing boundaries of hierarchy and identity, to leave people with the profound and fundamental experience of connection and sovereignty."
