Good morning from California ~ Today I am thinking of you. I am also preparing for a glorious weekend with 13 women from around the world who are here in Sonoma for a workshop. I have been thinking a lot about conscious choice, as I loook around and see so much ‘unconsciousness’ around us. When I share these explorations with you, I hope they inspire you to think, and to act and to come into being in your own way.
This painting is called, You Bring Water for My Creatures and I started it during a private session with a beloved client where we paint intuitively. It was for Jonathan, my dear husband and partner in life.
In this podcast I talk about things like…
the first time I encountered consciousness
awareness as a conscious choice and not a default setting
how we don’t always use ‘sub-consciousness’ in our community and what we say instead to link to imagination
unconscious behaviour according to my two moms ( racism, sexism, capitalism)
my mother’s only two rules and how she let me change my name
a movie that was life-changing for me (Warrior Marks) and how it informed my work in Intentional Creativity
a very sad wedding I attended and how it connects with suffering
an invitation to see self-expression as a way to work with coming into being
So getta cuppa tea with the Muse and dive in. Listen as you walk. Listen as you paint. Listen as you do yoga. Listen in the tub. Listen while looking at the sky.
With love,
Shiloh Sophia

p.s. I have heard that substack is reaching out to our subscribers without asking us first, to invite you to pay. I understand they need to cover their bases too but I don’t love that we aren’t given the choice of when and who. You are more than welcome to contribute if you find value in my sharings - but it is NOT required and I haven’t sent a single email asking you to pay for Tea with the Muse.
