What if art was an expression of your direct access to the divine? A way to channel your unique magic? For over 20 years Shilo Sophia has been teaching women how to allow their unique expression and their unique relationship to the divine to be channeled through their connection of the paintbrush to the canvas.

In Shilos words “painting is a devotional act, a spiritual practice, a prayer in paint strokes.” In this episode we get into this and so much more, we hope you enjoy listening in!

You can find out more about Shilo and her work at https://www.stardustlineage.com/ and https://musea.org/
