FIND EVERYTHING IN THE PATH OF MYSTICS CLASSROOM
Bookmark and check the Classroom regularly, Shiloh often adds transmissions as they arrive!
Visit these sections in the Classroom regularly for ease and organization:
- DAILY PRACTICE: found near the top, within MODULE ZERO: ORIENTATION
- Designed to guide you in developing and deepening your Mystical Practice. Use the printable Daily Practice Tracker to Document Your Practice and see your progress develop as you go.
- RESOURCES: found at the very bottom of the Classroom.
- This section holds extra content, beyond the core curriculum. For when you are looking for more to do and connect with.
- PRACTICES: found within each monthly module
- These are the messages and invitations shared by Shiloh Sophia in the iMusea app to deepen our practice. Look under “PRACTICES” in each monthly module. Make time to go back, participate, and learn these practices.
- STUDIES: found within each monthly module, beginning in MARCH
- This is a metacognitive process, combined with curiosity about retention and learning. Instructions are included in the lesson. Basically, paint while studying (listening to a podcast). Studying different parts of quantum physics and mechanics is part of our work as Mystic.
Your Canvas is a portal, a place for information to come and go, to be revealed and understood. It is also the place you will be visioning into. This is the safest place to look in and through because you are designing it.
After each Livestream, set aside at least 30 minutes for continuing to paint and listen, for writing, and poetry. Feel the sense of arriving and intuition.
"Treat yourself as if what you're carrying matters and could change the future of the world, or of one child." - Mama Caron McCloud

About our Mystic Slumber Party
Beloved Mystic,
There is a mountain we are all looking toward.
Curate Shiloh Sophia calls it Mothership Mountain. It lives in the quantum, in the imaginal, a place where we gather together from our homes around the world. On Friday, we will create a circle around it, each of us bringing our own gifts, stories, symbols, and rememberings, our own cultures and languages and intuitive knowings.
Our ancestors gathered on mountains from the beginning of time. They travelled for weeks and days to meet at solstices and equinoxes, at the cross-quarter days, at the turning of the wheel. We are born of mountains (and Stardust, of course). And so, when we come to the material of Path of Mystics, when we pick up our brushes or open our oracle cards or step into a Zoom, something ancient is happening. We appear to be very ordinary in our own studio spaces, but in our consciousness, we are leaving our mystic caves (studios) and gathering together in the quantum on Mothership Mountain!!
This is the context Shiloh has set for our 13 moons together. A devotion. Not a training, not a course, not a workshop. A sacred Happening.
And now, we are being invited to our very first Mystic Slumber Party.
For 24 hours, beginning at noon PST on Friday, April 24, we will go deep into our Mystic Cave and get feral with Creativity. We will open together on Zoom, and 24 hours later, at noon PST on April 25, we will complete together on Zoom.
In between, the pilgrimage is yours to curate…
What would it be like to design this time just for you? Can you book it out on your calendar and release all distractions? Do you want to sleep in your studio? Will you wear your pajamas the entire time? Are you going to paint naked? Order food in? Stay up late, and get up late?
This is an opportunity to work on your individual paintings and projects while intentionally connecting with our collective energy. To practice our gifts in community, the way mystics have always practiced. Because gifts practiced in solitude develop certain ways of working, but gifts practiced alongside other mystics develop other nuances and knowings.
During the 24 hours, you might:
- Come to the opening and closing Zooms
- Click here to Join Zoom
Meeting ID: 896 2489 8542
Passcode: sl2026 - Get caught up on Path of Mystics materials in the Kajabi classroom, such as your painting, your oracle cards, your poetry book
- Hang out in the Path of Mystics group in the iMusea app: post what you're working on, share progress photos, offer updates and thoughts and feelings, ask questions, support each other, invite one another onto a Zoom or a call
This is designed to be an individually curated, experiential, and interactive experience. Apart from the opening and closing Zooms, the team will not be hosting, though you will see them in the app alongside you.
Think of it this way. You will appear to be in your own home studio. But in the imaginal, you are climbing the mountain with us. You are a Mystic gathering with other Mystics, sourcing your highest Soul Self, refining your intuitive gifts, walking in your own nature and in the nature of creation.
We cannot wait to gather with you.
With so much love,
Shiloh Sophia and the Path of Mystics Team

Description of Offerings
- Painting Livestream - This is our mystical field time. Have your journal, and painting materials ready every single time. Paint in real-time or watch and do it on your own. Making it magic. The recording is available instantly.
- Quantum Temple: Time to connect with other mystics. This call is most often guided by Intentional Creativity Guild members. This is not content-based but experience-based and we will do breakout rooms for connection. You will also experience an open mic and a chance to share your poetry.
- The Mystic Slumber Party is an optional 24-hour period starting at noon PST and going through the following day at noon where everyone is sharing and caring. People can call spontaneous Zooms, share music, and gather together. It is a time to just be in the field together. Also a time to get caught up and ask questions of peers. This is a non-superivised party, but pajamas are invited! This activity will be organized and run by the cohort. This will not happen on every month!
Cura Council Ceremonies - Also woven into our time are seasonal ceremonies with the whole community. These follow the Equinoxes and Solstices through the Wheel of the Year. This is the space all community members come together.
Everything on this calendar is viewable in the classroom including the livestreams.

MUSEA Painting Materials
Consider this your permission slip to have fun shopping for your materials and preparing your studio! We highly recommend a visit to a local art store, as seeing and touching the materials before purchasing is so satisfying. For online shopping in the US, we use www.dickblick.com.
We are going to be painting together and you get to set up your space your way. Maybe you will even name your studio and hang a sign on the door! The list below are basic materials needed for our time together. A more detailed list of materials is linked below.
FOR PROCESS
- 1 blank writing journal for poetry writing. Consider buying something decorative with nice paper, something to cherish which contains your writings throughout our time together.
- 1 sheet of 22x30 watercolor paper (140lb)
FOR PAINTING
- Canvas: One large canvas, minimum dimension is 48" (i.e., 48" x 60"), meaning at least 48" on one side. Try to get gallery wrap over one inch, as it is more stable.
- Brushes: You’ll want an assortment, starting with a big one like a Sash brush, a larger filbert, rounds, flats, and at least one smaller liner brush for detail. A variety of sizes and angles are good. Be sure to get some hog hair or natural bristle brushes, they are stiff and perfect for the "scrubbing" method.
- Paint. You'll need a collection of acrylic paint in a basic rainbow of colors. (ie any red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, brown & black.) Shiloh Sophia uses GOLDEN Fluid Acrylics but non fluid paints and brands besides Golden are workable. Use no more than 50% water or Review our specific Golden acrylic paint recommendations below including the transparent colors needed for glazing.
- Studio: Get set up, including paints, brushes, etc. If you are new to painting, review the general MUSEA Painting Course Materials PDF HERE for a comprehensive list of specific recommendations.
- Easel/table/wall. For smaller paintings you can lay flat on a table. For canvases over an arm's length you will need a sturdy upright easel or you can place canvas suspended by nails/screws directly against the wall.
- Spray bottles: fine mist and large spray
- Paint palette (or use a plate or small canvas)
- Artist soap for cleaning brushes
- Also gather painting smock/clothes that you can get paint on, several jars for paint water, paper towels and also a few rags (old t-shirts rock for this)
Additional Recommendations
- Palette Knife (medium size)
- Black Gesso or White Gesso to layer on the canvas or board at the beginning of your painting (surfaces can absorb extra paint and gesso is cost effective.)
- Liquitex gloss medium
- Foam brushes (good for marking)
- Drawing pencils, vine black charcoal + white chalk
- Small container of glitter
- Dropcloth or rug to protect the floor if needed
- A special box, bag or basket to hold all of your supplies
Specific Golden Acrylic Paint Recommendations
Golden is more expensive but worth it! Note that these are the Fluid Style. You can use other brands but they will behave slightly differently than demonstrated.
IMPORTANT GOLDEN BRAND (for glazing)
- Quinacridone Magenta
- Phthalo Turquoise
- Azo Gold
Plus a rainbow of colors (Golden brand colors in parenthesis but other brands okay)
- White (Titanium)
- Red (Pyrole Red or Cadmium Red)
- Orange (Cadmium Orange)
- Yellow (Diarylide Yellow or Hansa Yellow)
- Green (Phthalo Green)
- Blue (Phthalo Blue or Ultramarine Blue)
- Brown (Van Dyke Brown )
- Black (Bone Black)
Plus additions if you have the budget (*are good for glazing)
- Quinacridone Crimson*
- Transparent Red Iron Oxide*
- Buff Titanium
- Burnt Umber Light
- Quinacridone Violet*
- Green Gold
- Cobalt Teal
- Dioxazine Purple*
- Iridescents (One or more Gold, Copper, Silver, Bronze)
Add a few heavy body paints for thick applications. White is a must plus other favorite colors.
What size? We recommend at least 4 oz for the main colors. 1 oz (or 1/2 oz) is okay for experimenting but you will likely need to restock your favorite colors quickly.
A note for those in dry hot climates wrestling with the paint drying too fast - Golden Brand "Open" style acrylic paint is designed to dry more slowly. Many Guild members also recommend the Golden Brand "Retarder" which keeps paints open.
