Medicine Painting is painting to heal.
In this Medicine Painting journey, we will provide inquiries and prompts, yet the medicine is all yours. You are in essence becoming your own healer, shaman, oracle - to connect directly with what you know and feel. Your content is your KEY to your own soul.
You will paint an image of YOUR ARCHETYPE on a big canvas that will be infused with the CODEX of your information. The painting is the teacher. We will work step by step in a way that facilitates freedom and self-expression. Intentional Creativity is not a style. It is an approach to creating available to anyone at any level of experience.

MEDICINE PAINTING CURRICULUM Teachings include the 9 Facets of Awareness, as well as...
The Art Gnosis – How do you know what you know? What is the access? Through Intentional Creativity you can develop a powerful pathway of self awareness that very few have practiced before. Shamans, muses, healers, mystics and sages on behalf of the village carried gnosis in their connection with the divine/source. But what about knowing for YOU? Has your knowing been blocked or limited by patterns? Harmful systems? Or simply not knowing you could connect in this way?
Recovery of Your Feminine – Why is the word ‘the’ placed in front of Her? How has that one tiny word removed us from connection? Many speak of ‘the feminine’ or ‘the goddess’ or 'the divine mother’. We say masculine or god without ‘the’? Remove the separation. Redefine preconceived ‘feminine’ and ‘masculine’ qualities and eliminate culturally embedded misconceptions, Reclaiming Her Image to Reclaim Your Image. We have always been here. She has always been here.
Soul Voice – Can you clearly hear your intuition? Is the voice within offering insight? Discover alignment so you can HEAR what the hidden self within is speaking to you. This voice is often crowded over by other voices, not entirely your own. There is a very specific process to access this voice, and once you connect with it, the other voices will no longer crowd your consciousness.
Regenerative Nature – How do you access this power within yourself? What quality of the feminine will call this forth in us to bring self-healing powers to us during uncertain times?
Healing Protocol – What is your ‘go to’ when there is something to heal? How would it feel to have something you can do every time healing is desired that will support you in gaining awareness, insight and moving energy? Let’s gather, practice and refine the Intentional Creativity® healing protocol. Developed over 6 years and never practiced as a group until now! Using awareness and inviting conscious alignment and coherence in the field.
United Archetype – Many voices seem to call from within us. Until we unite them, there can be fragmentation. We do not get rid of old voices with wisdom we can use, we alchemize them for our good, releasing anything that isn't working for us.
Psychic Architecture – Choose to be emergent in your thinking, acting, being to develop and adjust to an ever-changing world (and varying levels of toxicity).
Art Herstory – Where is the feminine in art? What happened to Her and why did it happen? What are the lingering impacts of a feminine story that is intentionally hidden from view, told through the lens of the male gaze? What impact does it have on us in how we see ourselves as women?
Reframing the Big Bang as a Cosmic Orgasm - What if we can look at the results of the ‘explosion’ in a different way? There will be an opportunity to reframe and redefine our understanding of the Big Bang and our collective origin story.
The Art of Gnosis through Imagination in Action
Painting the Archetype of Feminine Awakening
THE ROOT OF Intentional Creativity® is based in Intention and Inquiry. These are a few of the inquiries we are exploring as a community and your inquiries will be woven in.

Women! Let's work together toward creating a new paradigm of our own conscious design!
Every woman can be connected to and aware of who we are, what has happened with us in the past, and where we are going in the future. Every woman can redeem her relationship to the feminine and consciously create her own Feminine Archetype!
Of note: We will not be focusing on goddesses or pre-existing feminine archetypal images and energies. The only one we are seeking to connect with and create is our own.
When the water of the unknown
dance with the sparks of life
Hydra's flare is thrown!
A cascade of power is initiated
and the mystic discovers her stone!

ARTIFACT
The Making of Your Own Archetype
Medicine Painting is all about self-healing through creativity. Bringing what you want to heal or illuminate into the creation. By bringing form you alchemize what was into what could be.
Even after we feel we are 'healed' there is always work to be done to evolve, to bring ourselves to the next place on the path.
Our hope is a society of people who are having an experience of direct knowing, of gnosis.
A few of Shiloh Sophia's personal paintings working with the ideas of original Archetype
"Never in my life could I imagine a place where all falls away. Where I am so whole yet I feel as if my borders, the lines of my body shimmer and flow into the universe, the canvas, the portal. This freedom is nothing I’ve ever felt before." ~ Lexanne Leonard
"This year has been the greatest adventure of my life! I don’t have words to express how grateful I am to have met Shiloh Sophia, the Intentional Creativity team and all the beautiful women who walked on this path with me. There is such a strong connection thanks to the Red Thread and so much loving support. It’s like if the pieces of the puzzle are now coming into right places and the voice of the critic is more and more replaced by the voice of the Muse, thanks to the fact that I am finally prioritizing creativity in my life. So if you feel called, don’t start thinking about it, trust your inner wisdom and go for it!" ~ Nona McKinney
"What surprised me most was how this Intentional Creativity process led to deep knowing and profound healing. Thank you Shiloh Sophia and Team. I am forever grateful for this experience! " ~ Julie Ridenour
