Shiloh Sophia McCloud is the Curate and Co-Founder of MUSEA Intentional Creativity Museum. We are a living Museum rooted in community and storytelling with virtual and physical locations, including our large campus and exhibit space in Sonoma, California. We curate artists, rotating shows, both virtual and physical, art studios, exhibitions, education, and community experiences throughout the world.

Shiloh, along with her husband Jonathan, founded this organization after 30 years of community and art activism through a lineage of artists in their families. Today, MUSEA is home to an inter-generational and multicultural collective of emerging and experienced creatives, healers, and leaders. Our lineage begins in the 1930s and forms the framework for practice in intentional arts of every medium.

Our great work, Intentional Creativity®, is rooted in storytelling, education, and imagining social justice through self-expression as a method of chosen transformation. These thematic approaches are the cornerstone of an interdisciplinary practice that weaves creative arts, sciences, somatics, transpersonal psychology, and archeomythology.

MUSEA often serves over 15,000 members and students per month and has certified over 600 Certified Educators that run the museum and our university. With a focus on community through our app and our monthly calls for the past ten years, we provide a private container where our community can share their creative works in progress, ask for witnessing and lift each other up, and share their relationship with the arts.

This is Shiloh Sophia’s vision. She is an artist and educator who has taught at the University level and in elementary schools. She has crafted a 500-year plan for the community to continue into the future and is working with thousands to bring the vision to life. She is the author of seven books and can be found painting and writing in her studio on most days, having tea with her Muse.

This website features the work of our Guild, Museum, and the Intentional Creativity Foundation.

A United States Citizens’ Acknowledgement of Indigenous Peoples' Right to Freedom, Territory & Self-Determination

In Honor of Carmen Baraka

"The Lakota expression, 'Aho Mitakuye Oyasin' is widely used among many tribes within what is now known as The United States of America; It means, “We are all related; all connected.

In the spirit of connection with all beings, where none are higher or lower in the great web of all life, we offer this invitation to begin healing our relations with the Indigenous peoples of these lands."

~Carmen Baraka, Indigenous Elder and Teacher

Sacred ECHOES of the Well

Ethnicity, Culture, Heritage, Oneness, and Everlasting Sisterhood

A Membership Circle Designed for Black, Indigenous and Women of Color guided by Isabelle Guzman Stark and Naa Kwarley Amissah.

We invite Black, Indigenous and Women of Color to join us, as MUSEA Members for the Sacred ECHOES of the Well – Women of Color Circle: a journey toward personal and collective self-definition. In addition to the regular membership benefits, we will have a culturally specific circle just for us.

Welcome to Musea Intentional Creativity Museum – our exhibit space curated by and for artists of the International Intentional Creativity Movement. For over 27 years, our organization has worked with women artists to bring forward their voices, images, stories and visions for the future. Our physical location first opened in 1999 in Sonoma, followed by exhibit spaces in San Francisco 2001-2004, Sausalito, 2000-2003, Mendocino 2004-2008, Healdsburg 2008-2016, and returning to our Museum and University space in Sonoma in 2016. Our first four years saw thousands of visitors on location, as well as hundreds of thousands virtually, to engage, view, study, and participate in our growing movement. The focus of our work is Intentional Creativity, an enduring lineage spanning 100 years already, and with eyes towards another 100 years into the future.
