Mornings with You: Letter from the Red Thread Cafe 

Introducing Red Thread Cafe Time 

A Message from our Founder, Shiloh Sophia

Dear One,

The painting above is called Mornings With You and was created at the age of 27 in oil, and sold soon after I made it! I am including it here because I want to spend mornings with you - in the space of creation. 

I get up early every day and write, draw, or paint. This is my 'cafe' time and this has been a practice I learned and have maintained since I was 21 years old. I want to invite you to 'cafe' with me, no matter what time you actually have your creative time, morning or midnight, the concept is the same - time with the Muse. For me, it is a life saver and ensures that every day is infused with my own creative juices. This initiates a pattern of joy, belonging and spaciousness. About an hour a day and then a half day or full day a week minimum of creating something bigger - like a painting!

Even though I am not with you all, students in person for a lot of the training, the teachings I share with you can be quantum - a space in which we use our magical thinking to see ourselves as spending time together. When I led the first Color of Woman training 9 years ago, I could not have imagined that it could one day all be taken online! Yet this allows us to reach women all over the world who aren't able to travel to our in-person gatherings. Those of you who will join us for in-person will see that we begin almost every gathering day with 'cafe' time in circle. 

Cafe time includes readings, music, poetry, and conversation if you are with another person. It is not time for business as usual or logistics or schedule - it is a time of awakening and pleasure. If you have been a part of the Red Thread Cafe for any length of time you will see many photos of my cup of tea or coffee in different destinations. I learned about 'cafe' from Sue Hoya Sellars. I am inviting you to cafe with me as a part of your Vision Quest. That starting now, each day you consider the practice of cafe....

Although the official training doesn't begin until March 1, 2020 there are many offerings in the in-between to prepare you and immerse you in the world of Intentional Creativity. We think of Intentional Creativity as a 'field' that you can tune into and even feel - perhaps you have already felt it? 

Is your studio ready? Clear a space for your easel and canvases and cover the floors! Create a sign that says, The Muse Is In - Do Not Disturb and begin to lay the ground for your Creative Spirit to flourish. And perhaps there is a special cup you would like to initiate for your cafe? 

Last year we had an incredible victory with the entire in-person training being led in Australia for the first time, bringing Native American women's voices to the United Nations and publishing the hard copy of the Intentional Creativity Guide. This year we have a few new exciting developments to share with you as we are always improving based on what we learn. Our Intentional Creativity Guild members have agreed to have a few daylong gatherings around the world so that you, if at all possible, you can connect with our community along the red thread in person. Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand and many United States cities. 

We want to ensure there are fewer barriers for people to experience face to face connection. Having actual in-person mornings with you is so important!! I also added a daylong opening experience and livestream so that the day the doors open we can all connect to each other in the opening energy of initiating our Storyteller! 

We are delighted to be entering our 4th year of Color of Woman Australia being guided by Jassy Watson. We work all year to create a rich experience for those of you who choose to attend the in-person gatherings. Here we are together in October.

As you explore our Gatherings and consider your participation in Color of Woman, know that preparing for a Vision Quest is kind of a big deal! And we think you are a big deal too! Let us honor ourselves by making time for our Creative Spirits! This is going to be a wild ride, any way you want to look at it. No woman stays the same after painting 6 big archetypal paintings! The adventure is worth everything it takes - with many women saying this was one of the best years of her entire life.....

So, go ahead and get a cuppa, and a calendar and let's dream into sacred time for our Creative Spirits.

In true colorful pure joy,

Color of Woman 2020 In Person Events Around the World!  

Are you called to adventure? In Color of Woman, you journey into the heart of your Soul Work! You will step out of your comfort zone in almost every area of your life - and for some of you that means travel! Time for you to see, smell, taste and experience new things to delight your Muse!  

We are excited to offer you the opportunity to gather in-person with Shiloh Sophia, Jassy Watson, members of the Intentional Creativity Guild, and your fellow students. While the online curriculum is robust and provides all you need for Certification, there is nothing like being in Red Thread Circle, painting, singing, laughing, dancing, sharing stories and making lifelong connections.  

For a bit of context, MUSEA is our over-arching community name that includes our sister locations throughout the world and many voices, many colors, many muses. Musea is the plural form of Muse and Museum. We chose this name to represent that there are many of us. We together, are Musea.
