A Global Online Certification Program
with optional Gathering at MUSEA in California
You don’t have to be a leader or a rockstar to invite others into sacred space. It does take some practice, that is what we are here for! After 25 years and thousands of circles, we have created an offering whose time has come. Call your circles, gather your Beloveds in your arms for storytelling, invite transformation, engage in the work of healing grief and trauma, and by all means, call celebrations as often as possible!
A shimmering ball of Red Thread will be lovely in your already abundant medicine basket…
For many healers and helping professionals, this is the next step in deepening your work with those that you serve as well as with your leadership in sacred circle creation and developing your voice.

Are you a keeper of the mysteries of the red thread?
When people ask me what the most important thing is they can do right now – with our world in so much challenge, I have one answer:
Call Circle
We have always gathered in this way as human beings. Circle is where we solve the problems, heal the wounds and light the fires of our hearts in common wisdom.
For the second year, we are calling women to gather to discover the mystery held by the red thread, to bring into their own medicine baskets, to become a keeper of the red thread.
Each woman has a unique message, and circles to call and sometimes we are just waiting for the right time. It could be now! What if we added our energy towards an already universal symbol that will connect each of us as leaders for the future? What if the red thread was powerful enough to be that symbol? I think it is.
Offering this work to you through Intentional Creativity is my piece of the red thread to weave.
On one hand, we innately know what to do in circle. Sacred circles, conversations and ceremonies are ancient and in EACH of our ancestral lineages. On the other hand, there is a need for structure and for the crafting of a container that has integrity, that many of us may not be familiar with, yet.
Circles called in a sacred manner do call for the leader to be initiated, confident and ready. Is this calling to you? Then, YAHOOOO!
What is your piece?
Each of us has a sacred responsibility to our lives. The wonderful thing is that when we get ‘healed enough’ we look out to see who else we might be able to bless. Becoming a Red Thread Guide is all about that kind of sweetness, potency and readiness.
We need awake, wise, revolutionary hearts willing to show up and do the work of creating sacred space.

I am Shiloh Sophia, and I was raised in circles of women talking late into the night over the fire. Early in the morning over tea, with readings and prayers for the world. Circles initiated by women who were kind, confident, informed and cared for others. They instilled this passion in me, to call others into circles, from the time I was a little girl.
I always felt a call to work toward ending the experience of isolation between us. I am doing my best, with this as my hope, supported by a mighty global Intentional Creativity Guild of women who lead Red Thread experiences through circles, coaching and workshops. I have asked them to join me in this offering. Diverse voices, many hearts, lots of templates and teachings to share.
At this time, we must do what we can to call women to gather and to empower them to call others. Having spent 25+ years of my life calling thousands of circles, I know the power and the need for an intentionally created and curated experience. Managing energy, navigating suffering, creating context and developing relevant themes of resiliency does take some practice. And so we shall practice together!
As a little girl, not unlike many of you, I felt isolated and like I was the strange one. I actually ‘took on’ being strange in order to navigate the terrain of rejection. So now as I am moving older towards the middle of my life I remember that little child, and I say to her, no more. We have created a culture of inclusion and connection and you are invited to every tea party and every circle. And you are now all grown up and get to call your own circles. Let us tug on the red thread as we remember our connection to one another.
For me the Red Thread Circle is important enough, that each year when I go to the United Nations, I lead a red thread circle – even if there are 100 people! I will share with you how to do a 100 person red thread circle in less than an hour!
We have been waiting for you…and perhaps your Beloveds have been waiting for you to say yes too!
And if this isn’t right for you – say a prayer for the rest of us. We need circles around those of us showing up to do the work, organized and organic, to pray for us as we work.
Blessings to you RIGHT where you are – from my heart to yours.
Enrollment is open now in preparation for our global 4 month journey starting April 4, 2019. The focus of our work is empowering women to find their own voice and path, and who they are called to gather and in what ways.
Between now and then you’ll be invited to gather your materials – and there are payment plans available. If you are called, come enter the circle!
This program is just for women, however, may women who lead Red Thread Circles also work with men – they love the red thread too! Learn more.
The legends says those who are destined to meet are connected by an invisible red thread….we are often headed towards one another without even knowing it…
