Watch Shiloh Sophia as she shares about the ideas behind the work and how it is a tool for waking up:

Intentional Creativity Coaching is designed to be a collaborative process between you and your client in service of raising self-awareness. It specifically employs imagination, which may include visioning, drawing, journaling, and graphic recording engaged in by both coach and client.

Together the two of you create a Collaborative Field in which you are working together - it is the energy overlap from the biofield of each person and how they interact.

Our coaches provide an experiential approach to metacognitive consciousness - thinking about thinking - so the client may have access to their own information and deeper layers of awareness.

There is also an element of mutuality inherent in Intentional Creativity Coaching, as the coach invites the client to share in an experiential process with them. This expands the Collaborative Field capacity exponentially, creating space for new possibilities.

Below is a list of the some of our Frameworks Coaching practices that you will be introduced to and supported in developing over the course of the Frameworks training.

Frameworks Coaching Skills

Philosophy: We bring Intentional Creativity to each conversation, no matter what the topic or timing because we are aware that creativity creates the framework of greatest access for the client and the coach. 

Science: We are aware of the basic science behind bringing the right brain and left brain together with the heart for powerful inner access. We are also aware of the concepts of the field, electromagnetism of the heart, and how the field of the heart receives information.

Wholeness Alignment: We see the client as whole; including their somatic, energetic, psychological, and electromagnetic (field) components as well as their unique inner guidance system or truest voice. By understanding the client’s wholeness in this way, we are more equipped to notice what the client may not be seeing.

Curating Sacred Space: We create and curate Sacred Space for our clients; a container in which the experience of coaching is taking place. Creating Sacred Space is a skill that creates a more powerful capacity for transformation.

Active Listening: We are present with our clients and their field as well as being clear with them that we are in a shared or Collaborative Field anytime we work together.

Curious Presence: We come with curiosity as an approach to the session which invites an element of imagination, as well as activates and expands part of our mental cognition to see different perspectives.

Visual Thinking: We invite our clients to use visual thinking to access their information. We introduce this framework as an innovative approach to coaching while pointing out that visuals are used in EVERY form of life, commerce, advertising, and print media. 

Drawing: We are prepared to use different forms of drawing with our clients to get the juices flowing or as a form of meditation. Metacognitive Drawing is our main practice. Drawing brings forth the subconscious and often surprises us. 

Powerful Questions: We see that when we ask a Powerful Question (open-ended question), our client is more likely to feel deeply engaged and go directly to more potent insights.

Awareness: We have awareness of the potential features or tools we can use when working with individual clients or groups and are prepared to bring them into play.

Focused Inquiry: We bring catalyzing questions to our clients that lead to deeper access. These Focused Inquiries cannot be answered in the moment, but rather need to be marinated in and fully engaged with through curiosity as if shining a flashlight on them.

Intuition: First and foremost, the Intentional Creativity coach uses their intuition to access their information in the moment, in the space between the two of you or the group. There is an embodiment of and access to information: You had a plan that starts to change; you can allow the client to lead without letting them dominate; you are willing to shift how you are working. You can do this easily with the tools you discover - navigating between different kinds of processes designed to open the client to themselves.

Threaded Teachings: We are integrated with our own content and are prepared to offer teachings to our clients. The teachings we curate and develop support us as coaches in being able to bring our client to an important choice point that changes the choice cascade.

Insight Challenging: We offer Insight Challenging to our clients with an insight drawn from our experience in the session so far OR inviting the client to come up with an insight that causes them to stretch into a new area of growth.

Re-framing Stories: We are able to determine what part of our client's story needs a new view. We invite our clients to see and claim a new perspective, which allows their personal narrative to shift. We believe that a new frame allows the client to choose in the moment what will empower them the most to move towards their desired outcome.

Somatic Sensing: At times we allow for the body to direct what comes next, and see this as valuable session guidance. We encourage our clients to have a trusting awareness of what their body is revealing, reminding them that our body more often than not, has much wisdom to reveal to us.

Inner Wisdom: We believe that our own Inner Wisdom as well as our client’s Inner Wisdom will be one of the most powerful tools in the coaching process. We bring Intentional Creativity to our clients to support them in accessing this Inner Wisdom, as it is one of the most direct access points. We know from experience that once Inner Wisdom is activated, it can spark a field of mutual intuition - a space in which we are igniting each other’s inner wisdom.

Future Focused: We are committed to guiding our clients forward. We know that while past experiences may have informed how our client currently views themselves, in Intentional Coaching we are Future Focused. This means we only look at the past in terms of its connection to what is preventing them from moving forward in the present. By doing so, we are constantly supporting our clients in being able to create and move into the future they deeply desire, while experiencing their present in a fuller way.

WE USE A MODULAR APPROACH

The Frameworks Curriculum will be delivered in experiential multimedia modules. Below is an overview of what we will be exploring and the content we will be diving into. You will experience it yourself, then learn how to bring the experience to your clients. Mostly, the work takes place within yourself, and by connecting your inner and outer worlds through drawing, writing, thinking, being, practicing, conversation, and trying on the concepts.  

WE TAKE CREATIVE ACTION

The work will be achieved through visual journaling, creative process, video teachings, and dialogue. They will be presented in a step-by-step path, leaving room for the great mystery. ALL RESULTS will be achieved through creative action and your awareness of that action as it is happening in real-time via your observer.

WE LOOK TO THE FUTURE  

While we will be working directly with your story, we will only be visiting this story relative to where you are going. We won’t be digging up all the old baggage and re-organizing the contents one more time. Rather we will only be looking at those features of the story that prevent you from inhabiting your chosen desires.

Chances are you have already done a lot of this work - but have you done it in IMAGE, WORD, and COLOR?

Can you SEE your results, point to them, revisit them again and again, or is it just an awareness of having done the work? Awareness is awesome, and our curriculum truly dives into that as our beginning. Have you been creative with your process of becoming, in form? Meaning have you ‘made something with your hands?’

THIS MEANS YOU EMBODY IT IN REAL-TIME, PHYSICALLY, and ENERGETICALLY so it is happening on many more levels than just a mental one.

Let's take a closer look at some of the stops on the road map that takes us there.

FRAMEWORKS IS FOR YOU IF....

A CALL TO IMAGINE

See yourself amplifying the impact of your spoken and written words using analog and/or digital means to draw with color as you lead a process. Imagine the client, with their eyes widening in AHA! as they start clearly seeing for the first time what is actually happening and ready to be revealed to them. As we work with images we grow our clients' capacity to see, and this new seeing gives them access to what may have been out of reach before. It is a liberating act of service to them and their growth.

See yourself again, but this time as you offer your clients the opportunity to pick up the pen and try their own hand at working visually, drawing out of themselves the images that want to be seen, explored with intention, inquired about, and honored. At this stage, you are in the privileged position of observing what is happening for your clients in their inner world. You guided them to use a tool they can come back to again and again on their own journey to greater self-knowledge, creativity, agency, and resilience.

AN EXTENSION OF YOUR OWN PRACTICE

All the skills you are already using in your work weave directly into this approach. This is an expansion of your toolkit through bringing visual wisdom into the dialogue. When your client's imagination is activated, their capacity to see what they haven’t been able to see before comes into view.

Our training is rooted in the basics of neuroscience, visual language, design thinking, energy psychology, storytelling, metacognitive drawing/process, and the intelligence of the heart. Sound juicy? It truly, wildly, and wonderfully is!

While everyone can benefit from the power of Intentional Creativity, this curriculum is designed specifically for the helping professional.
