For 30 years, I've been doing what others are just discovering: holding space for Ancient Futuristic Lineage work that transforms women from the inside out. I'm not new to this conversation. I've been having it since 1994.
I am the third-generation carrier of a 100-year lineage of Intentional Creativity® that began with Lenore Thomas Straus, a New Deal WPA artist who worked alongside Eleanor Roosevelt in the 1930s.
She trained my mentor, Master Artist Sue Hoya Sellars.
Sue trained me.
I train the teachers who are carrying this work into the future.
My Grandmother Eden was a pattern-maker, painter, seamstress, herbalist, writer of stories and poem. A carpenter, a whiz in machinery. She passed her wisdom to my mother Caron, who passed it to me.
This isn't borrowed wisdom. This is passed-down, lived, embodied lineage. It arose from within the practice of community.
I am the Curate of Stardust Lineage —
a lineage-based Mystery School devoted to the awakening of creative power, sovereign leadership, and ancestral intelligence.
I do not coach.
I do not rescue.
I do not heal in the traditional sense.
I curate the field that reveals who someone truly is.
I conduct the initiatory arc that awakens their lineage.
I architect the environments where identities dissolve and reform
into their highest, clearest, most creatively expressed form.
I walk with those who feel an ancient pulse inside them —
the ones who know they were born with gifts,
who sense the hum of destiny beneath their ribs,
who carry codes they have not yet claimed.
I am a high-level initiate-guide,
a steward of transformation,
and a lineage-keeper who works in the quantum field
where truth becomes undeniable
and creative power becomes embodied.
My work is not soft,
though it is held with devotion.
My work is not loud,
though it activates with force.
It is precise.
It is cellular.
It is catalytic.
It is pleasurable.
It is creatively liberating.
It is grounded in science,
infused with intuition,
and expressed through flow-state mastery.
I reveal what was hidden.
I awaken what was dormant.
I ignite what was ancestral.
I amplify what was creative.
I restore what was sovereign.
I am the Curator of a lineage that remembers itself through those I initiate.
And through this work, a new generation of leaders, creators, mystics, and guides rises —
not to follow me,
but to stand in the full expression of their own luminous power.
This is my path.
This is my calling.
This is my lineage.
This is Stardust Lineage.
Shiloh Sophia McCloud is the Curator of the Stardust Lineage — a lineage-based mystery school dedicated to awakening creative power, ancestral intelligence, and quantum identity.
For over 30 years, she has guided tens of thousands of students into self-expression, sovereignty, and soul-led leadership through the modality she founded, Intentional Creativity®, a science- and spirit-backed methodology practiced worldwide by over 800 certified teachers.
A futurist, artist, educator, and community builder, Shiloh Sophia has spent her life designing spaces where creative embodiment becomes a path of transformation. Her work lives inside MUSEA, the global museum, university, and sanctuary she co-founded — a home for one of the world’s largest transformative arts communities.
Her teachings have been shared at the United Nations, in MA and PhD programs, through global retreats, in hundreds of galleries, and inside a thriving international ecosystem of women leaders. As a painter with countless sold-out shows and as an author of numerous books, Shiloh weaves together brain-heart coherence, somatics, creativity, and lineage-based awakening.
Intentional Creativity® is a registered trademark and proprietary methodology that combines image, word, inquiry, and somatic practice to access the Soul's voice.
It's not just painting. drawing and art making
It's:
800 certified teachers now bring this work to the world.
Hundreds of thousands have been transformed by it.
University programs teach it.
The United Nations featured this work at UNCSW
Research conducted with 500+ community members shows:
This work changes lives. Provably. Consistently. Deeply.
I've created over 1,200 original paintings.
Generated my first million dollars in art sales by age 40.
Founded multiple companies and nonprofits dedicated to this work.
Trained teachers on 4 continents.
Presented at the UN Commission on the Status of Women for 8 years.
Built a 100-year legacy plan for the lineage (we're 30 years in).
But the real measure?
Women arrive fragmented, silenced, disconnected, numb.
They leave aligned, awake, voiced, embodied.
That's not theory. That's three decades of transmission.
You can learn from someone who discovered this work 3 years ago. Or some quickie Ai genius model. Or you can learn from a lineage holder who has carried it for 30 years.
You can follow a trend, Or you can join a 100-year movement with a 500-year vision.
I am here to pass the lineage.
My mother Caron said this: And the point is, you have to design a point for yourself.
Not all of us feel this deep calling that’s defined in language. A tug from the mystery that pulls us forward by some umbilical interconnection with this life and the next, and the one that came before that. Some people feel called and are driven. Some are driven mad. I think of creators of sculptures and buildings and symphonies and people with large vision. Teilhard de Chardin talks about the sensual longing to be connected with those who have a larger vision. So those who have larger visions often have people gathering around them.
"There is almost a sensual longing for communion with others who have a large vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendship between those engaged in furthering the evolution of consciousness has a quality impossible to describe.” ―Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Because we want to be a part of something. But in the end, we each have to define and therefore design a point for ourselves. And the point is, we have to design a point for ourselves. This point is not about busy work. Not about making money. Not about making an impact. Not even about what we’ve learned about purpose, vision, and mission. This point is something else. It's soul code. Soul code is not WOO it it is innate in your design, coded into your ituition, woven into your spirit and expressed through your identity.
The "point" is a beam of light that came through with you. It was nested within your cellular structure when you arrived in the womb and the lights came on and your identity began to be shaped. It’s part of the original matrices, the pattern upon which your cellular structure is actually built… like a lattice, like lace in the womb. And that point, whatever that is: a point of light in matter. It’s energy equals matter at the speed of light. It is a point which populates. Imagine each one of your cells having this point, this particle, this dot permeating through all of the other cells. An original signature. Literally a point of light.
A point of light, poetically perhaps, that your Soul placed there in your genetic makeup so you would remember not just who you were, not just who you will be, and not just who you are, but who you could become if you could recognize this point of light. Einstein developed the theory of relativity from a vision he had as a teenage boy in Italy laying in a field looking at the sky. He imagined what it would be like to ride a beam of light. I’m imagining that with you right now. If we were to ride a beam of light to this moment: What would the point or location of that beam of light actually reveal for you? That’s when the rainbow comes out.
When something is so precise, it’s at 42 degrees. There’s no rainbow at 41, no rainbow at 43. It’s 42 degrees. Where the light reaches the optic and the rainbow comes out….the light is effortless. The rainbow is effortless. And the optic. it reaches is your body, your stardust bones, your cellular enclosure. Your body is what our Stardust Lineage calls a body, a cellular enclosure. Or a cooling sack of stars. Or a sacred temple. You are a cellular enclosure for cooling sacks of stars in a sacred temple, your tree of life! Those three definitions of being in a body come from my lineage, my Stardust Lineage, the one I share with all of you.
So when I invite you to create and cause and manifest, it’s inviting you to get at 42 degrees so that the beam of light that is already within you. You can direct that light through the optic of your desire. You might not know what that is right now. You might have just experienced a huge loss. You may be looking at years of grief. You may be disillusioned with the state of the world. You may be pissed.
Today the invitation is to design a point for yourself. What is it? What really matters to you at this time? When I was 24 years old and the art matriarch, Sue Hoya Sellers asked me what I really cared about seeing changed in the world. I said: ending violence against women. That’s when and where my “point” was lit up as if every single cell in my body resounded with the frequency of YES! That's Intentional Creativity. So much of my work is reminding you about that point of light and guiding process which allows it to be revealed. My content activates your content. My codes activate your codes. My revelations activate your revelations.
I don’t know what kind of archetype I am. Some kind of cosmic catapulting activator. My cosmic handle is Chief Laughing Cloud and has been for close to 20 years. When I think about what I’ve shared my life force with and who I’ve shared my life force with, it’s all about this one thing: The activation.
My lineage activation activates your lineage activation. It’s like life is this huge motherboard and I am responsible for one of the switches that I guard very carefully. And that switch allows gifts to exchange with each other. It’s a shared consciousness in a relational fied. And it’s interesting because I don’t even feel like I’m originating it. I feel like the switch that got created with my name on it, is based on you.
So I don’t know if I called you or you called me, but let’s turn the switch on together. Are you willing to share some tea time with the muse, where you ask yourself: What is the point that lights up my cellular structure?
Let’s not just design a point for ourselves. Let’s Divine a point for ourselves. Around her we do that with brush in hand, song on your lips and swish in our hips!
With great heart,
Shiloh Sophia
