Gather in Red Thread Circle with Shiloh Sophia, the artist who created the Mother Mary Oracle deck images to go along with Alana Fairchild’s writings. Shiloh is a Marin County native and coming to share with us in Fairfax is a return to her roots. She is inviting us to gather for a red thread circle and to connect with the Blessed Mother in our own ways. She will guide us in prayer and chocolate communion. Each of us will light a candle the to Mother. Mother Mary is a re-mothering archetype than can speak to us at all phases of our lives. Even if you have never connected with her before and want to learn more. Shiloh will share her personal story of how Mary came to her having no previous relationship or even really awareness. This sacred evening will be a blessing for our community.
We will work with the Mother Mary deck, which is provided, but if you want your own you can purchase it at the store or bring your copy. Shiloh will be signing the deck after the circle is complete. Shiloh Sophia’s Mother Mary art will also be our featured show at heart tribe. Shiloh has been painting the blessed Mother for over 25 years and has created over a 100 paintings with the great Lady as her subject matter, some of which we will have featured!
Bring prayer bead or rosary if you have one, if not no worries. Please bring a journal and colored pens if you have them. Wear shades of red, orange and purple and bring a scarf or shawl.

About Shiloh:
Shiloh Sophia lives life as a great adventure! A renaissance woman who communicates her philosophy through painting, storytelling and illustrations. For 25 years she has dedicated her soul work to the practice of creativity as a path of transformation and consciousness. As a gallery owner, she has represented her own work, as well as hundreds of women artists
Her paintings are widely collected around the world and she achieved incredible success with her fine art and books by the age of 40. Her intuitive painting process led to a desire to teach and serve. Her contemplative approach provided groundbreaking research on how Intentional Creativity® gives voice to the soul. Her message of ‘creating with intention’ has reached tens of thousands, and for some programs, she reaches upwards of 500 enrolled students online per month.
Her devotion to sacred art-making and specifically medicine painting and metacognitive drawing is a personal spiritual practice. Her relationship with the feminine Divine and specifically Mother Mary and Magdalene has deeply influenced her work, having painted over one hundred images of Madonnas, many of which are used in the Mother Mary Deck published by Blue Angel. She is trained as a Reverend and leads circles for women to explore their relationship with making sacred art.
Her work is taught in university MA and Ph.D. programs, at the United Nations, and by over 300 Intentional Creativity® Teachers and Coaches worldwide. At the core of her work is a belief that the right to self-express is one of the most basic human rights. Her research dives into the exploration of the right/left brain connection with the heart and body as well as how image and language inform consciousness.
She is the creator of over seven illustrated books and journals and is currently working on a series of mythic novels as well as an inspirational deck. Having been trained by her mother Caron McCloud the poet, and Sue Hoya Sellars the artist, she brought her gifts of language and image into form. To her students, she offers the gift of a 'creative lineage’ rich with a community of culture, practice, process, and teachings.
To honor the lineage, her husband Jonathan and she co-founded MUSEA : Intentional Creativity® where she is the Curator for a visionary art collection. They provide education at their campus and in their global online classroom. The two also own and operate an art and wine bar just outside of San Francisco called Musette. She can be found most days having tea with her muses discussing quantum physics and celebrating revelations of the heart.
