Shiloh Sophia McCloud
What if the oracle you’ve been searching for is already within you?
Journey into expanded states of consciousness through neo-shamanic painting to access deeper intuition and create a living canvas to consciously shape who you are.
What if there were a way to hear the wisdom within you more clearly…
… overcoming the voice of the critic enough to trust what you feel, reconnect with your innate creativity, and discover what might emerge from the subconscious (or hidden self).
You may have done years of meaningful inner work and still sense there are places within yourself you haven’t been able to reach — feelings you can’t put into words, patterns you understand but haven’t shifted, or flashes of intuition about what might be possible.
The paradox is that the harder you try to reach these deeper places through thought, the more elusive they become.
For 33 years, Shiloh Sophia McCloud, founder of MUSEA: Center for Intentional Creativity® & Consciousness, has guided thousands of people in neo-shamanic painting — a modern approach to the ancient method, practiced by people around the world from every culture, of using image-making, ritual, movement, and deeper states of consciousness to journey into hidden worlds .
In this 7-week live video journey, Shiloh Sophia, who comes from an intergenerational teaching community called the Stardust Lineage, will guide you to create, through layers of intuitive painting, a single evolving canvas that becomes your portal, the terrain of your inner journey, and ultimately an oracle that reveals the deeper wisdom within you.
No artistic experience is needed! In fact, Shiloh Sophia affirms that the less experience you have, the better. This isn’t about making a pretty painting, this is about uncovering your hidden self so you can liberate yourself.
You’ll write an intention onto the canvas and bury it beneath the paint, let your body guide your brush, journey with the natural elements of earth, air, fire, water, and stardust. You’ll invite colors, symbols, images, and sensations to reveal what’s waiting beneath your conscious awareness.
In Shiloh Sophia’s process, symbols don't have one fixed meaning. As your painting evolves, what manifests takes shape as expressions of the subconscious. Messages from your inner healer come through… representations of what you're releasing surface on the canvas… and eventually declarations of who you already are emerge.
You’ll learn how to shift your state of consciousness intentionally, moving from ordinary Beta awareness to the Alpha and Theta states associated with the flow state, intention, and creativity — so deeper insight and direction can be revealed.
As the part of your mind that monitors, judges, and second-guesses grows quieter, you’ll find it easier to enter parts of your inner world that ordinary thinking can’t always reach — where the inner oracle, intuition, and embodied knowing become more available.
Each week, you’ll add a new layer to the same painting in real time, exploring stories and part of your identity you may have been living from without consciously choosing them.
Through painting, movement, ritual, community, and inquiry, you’ll bring those patterns into view, giving visible form to the person you consciously choose to become.
This is the revelation. It’s not about being more — but being enough as you are.
And that’s one of the most powerful aspects of the process — you won’t simply think about change. You’ll make it visible with your own hands.
Your painting will become tangible evidence, an artifact of what you’ve discovered, released, reclaimed, and chosen — something you can see, touch, and continue learning from for years to come. The painting itself will become a portal through which you can journey, dream, and receive insight.
By the end of seven weeks, you’ll have one completed medicine painting holding the entire journey — and be able to read it as your own personal oracle, developing a symbolic language through which you can continue listening to your inner wisdom. This approach is like taking the lid off of what was hidden and showing you your innate genius.
You’ll also have a practice you can return to when you’re facing a decision, moving through change, or simply need to hear yourself again — a way to step out of the noise, enter a different state of consciousness, and discover what you know before anyone else tells you what to think.
During this immersive 7-week neo-shamanic painting journey, you’ll:
- Experience the Stardust Lineage full-body meditation, inviting your body to communicate through sensation, image, color, and movement, while connecting with earth and stars
- Discover how the Observer Effect influences what you perceive — and how attention, emotion, and intention can change what becomes visible

- Explore Chronos and Kairos — ordinary linear time and the timeless flow of creative consciousness — and learn how to intentionally shift between these two states
- Discover why repetition, sensation, ritual, and embodied experience can help support a changing sense of self
- Discover the neo-shamanic language of your own symbols — and how they can reveal what's hidden, illuminate inner resources, and show you more about who you are
- Identify your personal medicine — the gifts, wisdom, and strengths you’re ready to embody and share in your day-to-day life
- Explore heart-brain coherence practices that can help you anchor your commitment to the changes you’re making

About Shiloh Sophia McCloud
EDIT
Shiloh Sophia McCloud lives life as a great adventure! She is a renaissance woman who communicates her philosophy through paintings, poetry, teachings, and entrepreneurship. For 25 years she has dedicated her soul work to the study and practice of creativity as a path of healing that provides access to consciousness. As a curator and gallery owner, she has represented her own work, as well as that of hundreds of women artists.
By the age of 40, she ranked in the top 10 percent of sales for contemporary artists in the U.S. Her prolific intuitive painting process led to a desire to teach, and provided the foundation for her groundbreaking work on how Intentional Creativity® can give voice to the soul. Her method of “creating with mindfulness” has reached tens of thousands of students who have gained insight into the hidden self.
Her work is taught widely, at the university level in MA and PhD programs, at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, and by hundreds of certified teachers and coaches. At the core of her work is a belief that the right to self-express is one of the most basic human rights. She states, “We have a right to know how to access what we think, feel, believe, and to express it in our lives.”
Her life path is a spiritual practice, and an offering that was awakened with the Feminine Divine. Her research dives into the exploration of the right/left-brain connection with the heart and reinventing personal archetypes as gateways to liberation. “When we find freedom from the trauma of our stories, we can invent our own legends, and do the sacred work of organizing our consciousness,” she says.
She is the creator of seven books, as well as a community leader. Having been trained by her mother, Caron McCloud the poet, and Sue Hoya Sellars the artist, she brought her gifts of language and image into form through founding the Intentional Creativity® Guild, Cosmic Cowgirls®, Power Creatives TV ,and Color of Woman®.
She lives and works at Cosmic Cowgirls Ranch in Sonoma, California, which provides education both in-house and online, reaching over 25,000 subscribers a month. She can be found most days having tea with her muses discussing quantum physics and celebrating revelations of the heart.
