Navigating the world we live in today is challenging. Many are seeking solace, comfort, and connection. Put yourself in position to be an catalyst for healing.
Spirit Guardian is an Intentional Creativity approach to guiding sacred circles that was founded on the teachings from Shiloh Sophia's book and manual, The Way of the Red Thread about curating a culture of connection designed to empower women to become leaders and circle facilitators.
Facilitating sacred Red Thread Circles has the power to achieve many things. Here are a few reasons you might call together a Red Thread Circle for your friends, family, students, clients, or patients. The possibilities are infinite – what is your calling to create?
Are you called to ...
Red Thread Gathering at Musea Sonoma. As part of this Training you'll receive a teaching on creating your own drum to use in your Circles!
The Red Thread is a global symbol of protection and connection. Something found in many cultures in rituals, ceremonies, circles, as well as clothing, blankets, flags, weavings, and storytelling. Before the age of the internet, red threads were used in many cultures to represent different teachings, only we didn’t know how widespread it was and is. A quick search on the internet reveals 40,000 results for the red thread.
The red thread is a visual symbol that is used on the country level, as in flags, country insignia, or banners, and on a personal level, mostly in adornment, bracelets, pins, scarves, and jewelry worn by women and men, and recognizable by others. ‘They have a red thread!‘
In one culture, the Red Thread is worn to ward off the evil eye, in another culture, it is worn by women to hold space for a child to be born. In one country it represents being connected to those on your path, in another country, it represents receiving a blessing. In most of the legends of the red thread, there is a sense of the sacred in the connections, of destiny and showing up for a divine appointment.
“We bring red thread teachings each year in response to the inquiries: What is most wanted and needed at this time? What can we bring that is most essential to a ‘world stage’ gathering of people who really care about each other and the planet? I feel that when people are serving and leading from their hearts, they not only need to feel connected to each other but to those that they serve, their beloveds, and their reason for doing what they do. We already know we have a piece to hold, but sometimes we can become overwhelmed thinking we alone, have to hold the entire world in our arms. The red thread teaches us we are responsible to hold our part – and to find and encourage others to hold their piece as well. We are here to provide a simple ritual of connection that others can bring back to those that they serve. We are reminded we are not alone and we are all connected.” ~ Shiloh Sophia

The Way of the Red Thread, written by Shiloh Sophia, is your guide and includes ideas for different circles, developing your voice, deepening your content and message, and designing your circles. Also covered are who, what, where, when, and what to charge, should you choose to make guiding sacred circles a part of your professional offerings. You will be able to start leading your own circles during this course. There are many tools, templates, and resources to empower you to make that happen, supported by the Intentional Creativity Guild - women who are very experienced in using the Red Thread as a tool.
I think this section needs to be replaced with something more in alignment with what we're offering. I know Spirit Guardian is based off of the RT training, but we don't want to pull attention away from us and start inquiries about whether MUSEA is holding RT cert training in the future.
We asked Red Thread Training graduates (a MUSEA University course): What would you tell a friend considering the Red Thread Training? Below are some responses.
"The Red Thread Training is a way to enter the spiritual flow of life with ease and structure while digging deep into our ancestral roots and feeling out to our beloveds while being held in sisterhood as you stand and hold your piece of the red thread."
~ Chanel Hacker
"It will be the most amazing journey into the Mystery of Life and you will be surprised by the blessings you received. Expect the unexpected, it is one of the great adventures of your life."
~ Rosamaría Polidura
"I would say it is worth every minute that you spend doing this training. Your life will change. YOU will understand a talis-woman that will show in the physical what we so often forget. IT will draw you closer to who you are and closer to those you want to be around."
~ Rev. Karen Thompson
The Core Online Training includes everything you need to become confident in facilitating heart-centered sacred circles. Tuition is $1,297 USD (RTT was priced at $2,997 for 3 months. NKA) and can be paid in four equal installments without any interest fee. Financing is also available starting at $147 a month. (10 month payment plan + 13% finance charge, which is our standard rate. NKA)
The Intentional Creativity® Foundation supports women with an education they can translate into real-life work.
Think of this: if you lead a half-day or full-day Sacred Red Thread Gathering at $100/person with 13 people, you can cover your tuition in one day. Then, imagine how many other offerings and circles you can create as a result of the teachings, growth, and relationships you will experience in this course. The possibilities are endless!

About the Intentional Creativity Foundation
MUSEA's 501(c)3 non-profit organization
We are a living museum and community curating Intentional Creativity and conscious culture. The ethos for our work has been in existence since the first time an early human made a mark to tell a story on a cave wall. This was a communication through image that became a one-to-many story through which we learn about who we were as early humans. Archaeologically, we can also look for clues into who we are becoming.
Our focus on creativity and culture is summoned from the deepest heart within our community to serve the planet and all beings into the future. Our unique part is to steward the contemporary creative and symbolic arts as part of the story we are telling about who we are as a people at this time. Artists and writers have always been the storytellers of each epoch – shaping how the story is told, what parts, and in what way.
What We Do:
Our research, with tens of thousands of those who have participated in Intentional Creativity, speaks to multiple benefits: physical, mental, spiritual, increased resilience, trauma recovery, and illumination of conscious awareness and understanding.
