The Intentional Creativity® Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 2015, is guided by the Board and the Intentional Creativity Guild consisting of over 500 teachers worldwide who are trained and certified in the Intentional Creativity Method. The method brings a focus on the philosophy - the how and why - as well as the impact and influence creating with mindfulness can, and does have, on our lives. While we believe creating is for everyone, our vision is to make creativity accessible and to educate about the importance of creativity in the development of the human being.
Our Co-Founder Shiloh Sophia McCloud has been working in the arts and education field since 1994. She teamed up with her partner in business, Jonathan McCloud, to combine online education with travel and cuisine to add to the collection of offerings. Together the two founded Mothership Inc. in 2016.
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.
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.
Serving over 15,000 members and students per month along with over 600 Certified Educators that run the museum, our focus has been on community 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.
The Stay Wild, Earth Child Museum Exhibit honors the sacred relationship between art and nature—where creativity becomes an offering to the living landscape.

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

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.

Intentional Creativity is a method and philosophy developed as an approach to making art that is in the matriarchal lineage of our Founder, Shiloh Sophia. Once she could see the power and impacts of making art with mindfulness and Intention, she began teaching all over the world and at universities, including Ph.D. programs and the United Nations. In 2010, she began to offer the teachings held within the body of work for Certification, inviting others to teach and study.
