Introducing the Color of Woman Class of 2021!

Introducing Denise Kee-Coelho

I am excited about joining the Intentional Creativity community as a teacher.  I look forward to collaborating and learning from the teachers, coaches and guides, as well as continuing with classes to expand my creative skills. Professionally, I have a Masters in Social Work, a postgraduate Certificate in Individual Therapy, with a background in play therapy.  On a personal basis, I participate in the Optimal Being program, which focuses on maintaining Alignment with Source. I am also doing an online study of  dream interpretation through the School of Metaphysics.   I am a mother of two, and the grandmother of soon to be 5 precious darlings.

My Soulwork is working with senior citizens,  and supporting women in rebuilding their lives. I worked for over forty years with children, primarily in the school setting, so the focus of working with senior citizens is very new and different.  I would appreciate suggestions on offerings that have been successful with these populations, as well as with preteens.

The Color of Woman Teacher Training has been an awesome and intense learning experience.  I am forever changed by the Intentional Creativity method and by the relationships forged along the journey. I am very appreciative that I have a community of people who understand, accept and encourage my development as a creative being, and a Intentional Creativity teacher.

Thank you Shiloh Sophia for your vision and dedication to causing and creating a new reality of awakening for women artists.  There is much respect and appreciation for you and the matriarchs who influenced, nurtured, and trained you, in the person of Lenore Thomas Straus, Sue Hoya Sellars, Eden McCloud, and Caron McCloud. The foundation has been laid and well tended for the future generations for Intentional Creativity women.  I bow in humble and reverent respect to Shiloh Sophia McCloud and the lineage of Intentional Creativity, and it’s  influence upon the world’s consciousness.

Introducing Julie Mae Pigott

Dear Creative Sisters!
I am thrilled to dance into the Intentional Creativity Community as a 2021 Color of Women graduate!  Wow!  Shiloh Sophia! What an incredible ritual quest this past nine months has been!  Deep Gratitude!

I’m excited to bring my passion for weaving song and nature-based activities, along with intuitive painting and inquiry into wider circles of women.  And I would love to join you in stirring up playful & impactful offerings!

I love to laugh and I’m organically irreverent!  And I also feel at home diving deeply into the shadows of a painting, trusting that healing & resolution will come.  I’m excited to bring ‘in person’ Wild Women Day Camps to my PNW home property and hope many of you will join me in offering these experiences for women.     

I’m grateful to so many of you for your incredible support of me this year.  As a folk singer/songwriter and sacred chant leader, I am happy to support you in building confidence to lead call and response chants for your programs.  Excited to Be Here!  Let’s find each other!   Blessings On Our Next Adventures!   Big Love, Julie

Introducing Lisa Malanowski

I have always loved art and growing up was obsessed with the artwork of the greats.  I love to doodle and write, but thought art was out of reach as a profession – I always saw it as my way of meditating.

So… I became an interior Designer…

And I focused on one of my primary missions in life – creating spaces that mirrored the behaviors of the people that inhabited them, with an initial focus on retail design and later on in my career, workplace strategy. 

After doing this work for fifteen years, something shifted in me.  It began to hit home after I had a severe car accident that left me with multiple surgeries over the span of a few years. I heard an internal call to go on a journey.  It was the first time I listened to what my heart was asking. I’ve traveled around the world, studying different modalities, meditation, art, vastu, shamanism, mediumship, reiki, and other ways of healing.

I rekindled my love of art which was a healing modality for me– and along the way found Shiloh Sophia’s teachings with Intentional Creativity.
The process, which has the ability to heal and transform, awakened the artist in me and I am becoming a certified Intentional Creativity Coach and Teacher so I can help others to heal and transform their lives through art.

I love that It’s not predicated on identifying as an artist or even feeling creative.
 It is about getting to your soul essence through creativity, which is innate in all of us.  

Art has always been a healing  modality for me– and I was so excited when I found this process.
Gorgia Okeef said it first- “I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way- things I had no words for.”

My goal is to help others to access internal healing, recover from fatigue and burnout, grief and loss, and discover self-care tools to maintain health.

I have found that what you need is something that works to help you to get back in touch with why you were originally driven to do the work you do. Intentional Creativity™ does just that… 

Introducing Mirjam Rothen

Dear Community, I am Mirjam Saray, living on a small Island in Gran Canary,   
I am excited to share with you that intentional creativity has been my greatest deepest healing until now. I lean on my Wings and rest, finding myself closer to the great Mother. My old desire and dreams to be and live as an artist, which have been not expressed enough, starts to take space in a way that I never knew before.
A young Part of me never got the chance to BE as I am, and this part is awakened
finding a wise loving mother, present and supportive, encouraging, and tender,
excepting and holding space, inside me, so that this Young, my youth,
can expand, grow, blossom. Step by step a whole inner family in me, woke up to life, and I found myself receiving the Keyes for forgotten Doors…
a richness, a temple, a sacred garden, showed up and I found myself on fire to create day and night, to discover, to spend such an intense time with myself, with the great spirit to remember who I am and who I am not. A mystical journey carried me here and in other Realms, and as more as I grounded and respected my Stories and my life the way it was, with a big, huge quality of Love Compassion and Forgiveness, the more I felt and heard the inner guidance and inner peace… I made space for more light coming in, more consciousness coming to the surface. I made space to be able to listen… to get access to my own information.

………
Because that magical journey which awakened me to my LOVE,  I am going to write a Book next year…which I already wanted to do for a long time… about my Life as a highly sensitive intuitive empath, and a creative Being.

“ In a moment when all our eyes are opening to see,
When all our cells in the Body
Opens to feel and receive Grace, Miracles happens.
A whole River of Tears and Joy
Of Light and Darkness, of Life and Death,
of all the sacred directions,
of the melody and Songs of
our Hearts and Souls

in one Moment, it could happen,
and Life can be felt much more in a cloth of necked skin
much more real and natural, authentic, and powerful
living in between the Worlds it’s a challenge,
and my journey teaches me to live in both Worlds
to be a bridge between the Realms and
to take care about myself, so
this journey will be a blessing for others as well.

From the beginning of time with the painting of Codex as I realized
that I see in the stars the singe of Toros, I was born in May 13. and the Signe of an Angel, it was a singe to trust this journey.

My creative blood and nature of an Artis medicine tantric Being
Could find a container to know where they belong to in ME and on this planet earth.
The wounds I touched felt different than before because I touched them
With my Divine hands of Love,
I spoke to them and promised to be gentil so they can be healed and held
And show me the pearls.

The Pearls of LOVE “

What I am excited about bringing to the movement and how would I like to be known: I see myself bringing Classes in intentional creativity in my own unique way, to the theme of being highly sensitive, through Rituals, painting and writing.

I also feel that I can bring some classes for awakening the sensual Being in us, in a way of tantric Arts. My soul work is a combination of Protecting the sacred feminine, nurturing the wild sensual feminine, and learning to live in a high sensitivity.

Introducing Monica Jane Wade

I live in the UK where I have been wife, mother, and alternative therapist for the last 50 + years. I am blessed to live in a wonderful green and natural environment on a hillside surrounded by trees which brings much inspiration and peace. Throughout my life I have enjoyed the company of others who are reaching beyond the average and want to find new and exciting directions for their artistic leanings, with the girls of the Red Thread I have arrived, and I am joyous at the discovery of such a group of like minded souls.
Through the guidance of Shiloh Sophia and my sisters I have blossomed in many aspects of both physical and psychical technique and I am thrilled at where this direction is taking me. The yin and yang of this is that with my new found skills I have much to offer back to the group and look forward to many an opportunity to share with others my experiences and techniques.
I am transformed in the level of confidence I now have with a brush and a canvas in front of me, the old fear of that first brush stroke and getting it wrong has gone.
The use of colour and form has taken on an entirely different aspect within my approach and sometimes I could burst with the joy of expression and freedom I have found. So if there is one thing I can do immediately to the benefit of my sisters is to say don’t be afraid jump in with both feet and enjoy the feeling of air rushing past you as you fly toward a new and exciting destiny.

Introducing Nirtana Goodman

I’m a retired wholistic healer taking on my next incarnation! I’m pleased to learn that I can paint and am looking forward to developing my skills further. I’m very inspired by the people in this community and know that I have come home. I am working in the areas of freedom and justice for all types of people and for the natural world. I’m seeing that I can paint these things into being!
