CURA COUNCIL SONOMA GATHERINGS

Held at the MUSEA Center for Intentional Creativity and Consciousness

Where Ceremonies, Feasts, Rituals, Nature, Creativity, Drumming and Circles occur with our Initiated Intentional Creativity Community (Graduates and Student Cohorts)

2024 SONOMA ANNUAL GATHERING

SONOMA CALIFORNIA

NOVEMBER 1.2.3.4.5

Each gathering has experiences of: ceremony, medicine painting, nature, ritual, feasting and the elements. Each one has a similar pattern and schedule flow. Yet each one focuses on a different part of the Wheel of the Year and the building blocks of creation.

We are in essence rematriating with the natural world and all of creation.

Each retreat is connected with the primary archetype of the Cura, the healer and the Curate, the healer who leads. The root of the Cura is the one who cares for the Soul of the Village.

These in-person experiences will have specific content that can only take place in a natural environment.

The Cura Council Gatherings at MUSEA Sonoma and Wild Water Creek on Sonoma Mountain in California with Founders and Guest Guides. Each retreat is rooted in Medicine Painting, Care for Creation, Shared and Nourishing Feasts.

• Medicine Painting
• Collaborative Ritual
• Ceremony and the Elements
• Presence of the Divine Feminine
• The Timeline of Creation

The Cura Council Vision

500 Vision Year for a Quantum Commons and a Calling to Ceremonial Gathering following the Wheel of the Year

The CURA Council is a community offering seasonal ceremonies and story circles Guided by Curate Shiloh Sophia and the Guardians of Intentional Creativity®.

We come from a lineage of art matriarchs who passed on ideas on how to live this life well and in a conscious way. They taught us to live with intentional creativity and love at the center of our choices. We pass the teachings and ceremonies onto you so you can pass them on to the people in your life.

Our Great Work in this unfolding story of our lives is to:

• Gather: Call people to gather in ceremony, a return to tribe/clan/circle.
• Celebrate: Honor the cycles of creation and elements 8 times a year.
• Evolve: Explore the innate capacities of each person and how we live.
• Create: Summon each of us to be wildly self-expressed
• Discover: Learn the Care for Creation Teachings and become a guardian.
• Certainty: Create a sense of continuity in a world that feels so uncertain.
• Inclusivity: Provide a mystical agnostic sacred container for ‘village’.

and for the first 50 or so years… as long as our founder is still living ...

• Connection: Offer our practicing students at MUSEA University and the Intentional Creativity Museum time with Curate Shiloh Sophia. The Cura Council is meta; you practice with her while you practice for your village curation.
• Structure: Provide an instructional framework for how to create a circle without end that passes the teachings of each generation forward to the next guardians.

and most of all

• Love: Practice living big love together as we consciously choose to evolve
