We are Spiritual and Somatic (film)

We are Spiritual and Somatic (film)
We are spiritual and somatic. We are energy embodied. We are psychology and chemistry. We are emotional and natural. We are electricity grounded in eccentricity. We are both/and beings. We are mediums of the medial interstitial matrice. We are stardust, we are water. We are soil animated by identity, inhabiting sovereignty We are wave We are particle We are dancing on the equal sign of alchemy. We go both ways, we are two-spirited being inhabiting a constellation of being. We are Source at Cause within Creation. We are Soul Enthroned having a body experience. We are the habitat for mystery as she reveal herself through us. We are her poetry! Behold! We are her poetry We are earthen-star beings encoded with the original climax of becoming through the womb of our milk-way ma. YA! We are creators and destroyers. We finding our way home to a constellation of being which is us, so often unaware of who we really are. I mean, who are you really? Do you know? We are the medium between the tiniest known and the largest known. We are the universe having a family through us. May we be good company and tell even better stories. May we remember our relationship to our sense of place within our body, within the frameworks of our earthen home. May we remember everything has life, we are all of life and all of life is us. Everything, everything is alive. Everything is our kin. My kin! I honor you, I honor you. We are all souls having an experience of being. We are spiritual and somatic coordinates. We are consciousness and we are voice. We are imagination and we are mind. We are identity and the one who inhabits it. We are creativity and self-expression. We are intuition and sensuality. We are bliss and we are orgasm remembering our beauty with power. We are lovers, oh yes, we are lovers, remembering how to love with every breath breathe with me, breathe with me… Let us discover the union communion we ache for With every breath we remember more. And more. We remember we are “both and beings” Revelation reveals access to the hidden places within When I remember me, I remember you. I remember you Do you remember me? I do. I called you from before space was space and time and was time. You called me before the birth of stars. It is your voice I followed here, how your call shaped me, called me to incarnate and become in this cooling sack of stars within this intricate and emotional constellation of being. Oh the great forgetting of our origins, and then the spending a lifetime remembering! What would be possible if we didn’t have to spend so much time remembering, what would be possible if we could just become? Beloved. Beloved. The indelible ink of you has marked my soul When I see you, my body remembers you, my spirit bows to you. The acknowledgement of kinship in creation brings peace, amidst the chaos. We are formed from the same star stuff as the nebula and the redwood tree, I stand in awe of Creator creating creation and our own capacity to intentionally create. May we be good company for the life happening through us, as we form the sacred context called community. Forged from love, by love and through love. Oh yes, let us love. Let us love. Let us love!!! You are Love. Curate Shiloh Sophia

A Day For Acknowledgement and Action

A Day For Acknowledgement and Action
Hi Community, Here is Carmen Baraka - Smudging the United Nations Member Flags in New York in 2018. She spoke on our Intentional Creativity panel at the United Nations Commission on the Status of women about the rights of Indigenous Women and Girls and the situation here in the United States since the on-going genocide began here. The people from other countries were SHOCKED to learn of how the United States has navigated our relations with the First Peoples of this Land. I am too. Pause and read the Good Relations Pledge out loud. Feel it, know it, explore it, and sign and then BELIEVE you have taken a first and important action. If you are in community with Indigenous peoples, reach out in your way. Share as appropriate. Share the pledge with your community and family. Let’s make change one person at a time. Carmen served as Elder and Ceremonialist at Cosmic Cowgirls and Musea for over ten years. She is our ancestor now and I honor her with this sharing. She worked on this with me, providing not just inspiration and insight - but direction. Thank you to all of our community members who supported the creation of this small but mighty step in repair, especially Crystal Charlotte Easton, Anasuya Isaacs, Semerit Strachan, Dawn Karolides and more. MANY hands went into this offering. I also wish to acknowledge Carmen’s presence as being the catalyst for the 500 year vision of the Cura Council. Thinking of you.

A First Step in Healing Revealed

A First Step in Healing Revealed
Intro to the Podcast (This is not the podcast, please read this first. There is also a transcript of the teaching) Precious One, Today we speak of answers. Usually I speak of inquiries. Today we make a change in awareness. As you listen, watch for a REAL and TRUE and LASTING shift in your relationship with your SELF. What we will reveal, you already know, but today, we invite you to know it, newly. Ready? First About Us to Create Context: We at the Cura Council come with Teachings that we “Guardian”: Protect, Preserve, Practice, Promote and Propser. We are offering you these teachings over time with Wheel of the Year Ceremony journey, audio podcasts and imagery. Those of us in MUSEA’S ORIGINS Intentional Creativity Guardian Training are living the teachings called Care For Creation Curriculum and in time, we reveal them to the greater community. The Cura Council is “ALL OF US” who choose from all different parts of the community, yet guided by our graduates, called the Guild. The Guild run our entire community and company structure, they are the initiates and the inheritors of this potent legacy passing from hand to hand and heart to heart. We will continue to reveal the Frameworks of the Cura Council so that you can know clearly who is here, what we are about, what we care about and how we go about the healing journey. You know if you are part of our kin-clan, tribe, circle by how you feel when you engage with us. Not sure yet, stick around, it gets better, goes deeper and leaves a trail for weary to rest. While the first step is choice, understanding is a part of the very next action. While it remains just a choice, we first need to know it exists. For us, healing begins with a choice first, followed by an awareness of the parts of our innate design that we are aware of at this point in our journey. Ultimately yes it is a mystery, yet language, physiology, archeo-mythology and creation stories from all times point to three things: Spirit (energy), Soma (body) and the Soul (Self Space) in which we occur. AND the story we tell about all of it through our Identity. This basic understanding of our structural composition, our is-ness for us, is the origin point where healing begins. This is spirit and science dancing in splendor. Our awareness of our natural being-ness and our choice to engage is our consent to continue in a good way. The understanding shared today is the foundational inquiry and answer with the mending and repair that we will work with in We offer the teachings freely to all, yet the experiences that happen sin our chosen circle-based sacred containers are where we engage with the depth work through experience and Intentional Creativity. All of our Graduate-Level Origins students are taking this experience with all of you coming from the community. That’s how much it matters. To truly make change, we must LIVE the change. Not just know the change. Change, and healing must be felt. What can be felt can be moved. What can be moved can be healed. What can be healed, can liberate us. Liberation is what we seek. I am about to go into a two hour live-stream with our Musea University Origins Cohort. They are the carriers of this wisdom and will be able to share it with you in their own unique way in time. We pray for you and we ask you pray also for us, as we are doing our sacred work so that we can offer our sacred work to our greater world in times of great need, like right now. We healers, guides, alchemists love to be held in the prayers of the community we serve. Feel free, and be encouraged to comment on your experience in listening and share your wisdom and experience with the material. We are ONE voice among so many with this information, yet we present it in the way that we do because we are healers and artists committed to causing evolutionary consciousness and transformations. None of the Teachings are fixed in space or place. Trying to identify them causes the loss of some magic ~ yet it gives us a place to begin. Hidden in plain sight no more. Seen. Heard. Welcomed and Practiced. Much love flowing, Curate Shiloh Sophia Wild Water Creek in Two Raven Canyon on the very first day we walked the land.

StarSong - November 1, 2023 at 10 pst Virtual and November November 2 at 6pm Sonoma
The Cura Council is delighted to invite you to join us for our November 1 for our virtual ceremony including prayer, song and story honoring the stars, and our own song in relationship to the stars. We will also be offering a class, StarSong ~ tickets have not gone on sale yet. For those in Sonoma, join us on the next day, November 2 6-8pm. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cura-sonoma-womens-circle-tickets-354362235987 We will have the honor of Crystal Charlotte Easton, Indigenous community member for over ten year with us in person and other members of our council. November 1 is the High Season Day between Equinox and Solstice. Many also celebrate this cycle as the Day of the Dead, All Saints Day, and Samhain. (And of course the tradition of Halloween). This cycle of October 29-November 2 finds a rich array of gatherings throughout the world - many of which are centered on the changing of the seasons, the crops and the light, but also the quality of liminality, or what many say ‘the veils are thin’. There are many legends that go along with this time and here at the Cura Council we are creating our own Legend through these ceremonies. We have been gathering during this time for over ten years and will continue to do so for the next 500 years. That’s where you come in. We will be offering a ceremony and a class created by Intentional Creativity Guild Members and our Curate Shiloh Sophia. This will serve as our annual community gathering across all communities called VIVID. More soon! With love, Shiloh Sophia

Wound and Will

Wound and Will
Dear Cura Council! At the heart of our work, there is the actualization of your awareness of what you’re capable of. Together through Ceremony and Intentional creativity we begin to repair the parts of ourselves that we haven’t been in relationship with in a conscious way. What follows is revelation of what’s ready… In this episode, recorded in an olive grove, we will explore: *Our shift from starting with the wound to starting with the want in our work *The idea of readiness when we are in a healing process through conscious redirection of our efforts, when we are on a healing journey *Access to inter-consciousness and how painting reveals this in real time and after as a path of practice *Consciously reshaping the channel to our inner voice - will the brain allow for it? What Neuroplasticity might we be able to shape? *imagining yourself as a speaker at the council and noticing what arises as you do * invitation to next steps for your healer archetype sending love❤️ Www.livingyourlegend.com this is the last major course of 2023 and is the foundation of the Cura Council. Overtime we hope that all of our members will engage with this particular training. If now is the time for you, please come!

A Symbol for Transformation

A Symbol for Transformation
Dear Ones, Good morning from California - just the past few days we have started to feel and see the changing of the seasons here. I wonder what is happening where you are? If you aren’t part of the imusea app - consider coming to share with us there, as each Wednesday we post an inquiry and today it is about the season change. A central part of our work around here is designing processes rooted in transformation that you can do ON your own. The above symbol is not only the ‘logo’ symbol for The Cura Council and in , it is a teaching tool. We will explore how to use this symbol through sharing ONE of the the Codexes with you during our Equinox Ceremony honoring the waters. The symbol can work with different points of inquiry - tomorrow we will focus on transformation. In preparation - begin to think of something you would like to transform - gathering our energies on Equinox and doing ritual together is a powerful act of self-honor and community togetherness. Please also bring a candle, a bowl of water and something living - a flower, a petal, a plant leave, a branch, or a stone. REMINDER: We look forward to gathering with you in Ceremony, September 21, 2023. Northern Hemisphere: 7am HT / 10am PT / 1pm ET / 7pm CEST Southern Hemisphere: 3am AEST / 5am NZST September 22 Together we will honor the waters. We will have live music from Rashida Oji. We have a special guest, Andrew Johnstone who will share with us about Equinox. Please check your inbox for the link and you can always find a link on the Wheel of the Year Tab above. We will see you in circle! Warmly, Curate Shiloh Sophia The Cura Council is supported by you! To receive new posts and support our work.
