Preparation for Your Training Path - Slow down, Tune in and Read.

After reading, decide if you should keep your appointment. Each call will be about 20 minutes in total but plan for half an hour. Uncertain about finances or the path ahead - come to the call. We will work with you.

Dear One,

The purpose of this call is to secure your seat in the Origins Training. By now you have read the INVITATION on the home page, looked at the Tuition, considered gatherings and perhaps read about Medicine Painting (below the Delivery tab) prior to applying. You either KNOW Origins is right for you or you feel at least 80% certain.

During this call, you will choose which of the in-person gatherings you would like to attend - or all of them! During the call, you will answer a few interview questions and then make your first payment or at least schedule the first payment to reserve your place.

This connection call is less about questions and more about our MUTUAL YES to journey together. For us and for you it is essential that this be the formation of a core group of people who are meant to journey together.

You know who you are...you are called.

The average payment without gatherings is flexible per month with your scholarship. If you add in-person gatherings, each one is $1000, (normally $1500). We suggest adding as many in-person gatherings as you can afford. Jonathan will review the payment choices with you and the amounts so you can design your best Training Path.

Come to the call with your chosen method of payment - with a credit card that you will be able to use for a year (so check the expiration date). If you can pay in full and want to send a check instead there is also significant savings. Failed payments will result in a $25 processing fee each time. We have options for your payments, including PayPal, but do not offer Venmo, or Cas App.

LEGEND Archeo_Futura is the pre-requisite for ORIGINS. You can roll your LEGEND payment into your Origins payment if you choose or sign up independently. This should not be a reason to not enroll in Origins. If payment is a concern we are willing to work with your needs and partial scholarships are available. We will discuss this during our call together. 

If you are an Elder and you KNOW you have to do this, but you don't know how to make the finances work, you may be eligible for our Elder Cura Council programming, please keep your appointment.

We look forward to journeying with you!
Jonathan McCloud & Shiloh Sophia

This is how the call will flow

CONNECT
You connect with Shiloh Sophia and Jonathan and they ask you a few questions based on your Application.

In some cases, Jonathan may not be there at the beginning if he is still working with another student.

CHOOSE
If you are ready to go to the next step you will go into a breakout room with Jonathan to discuss your Financial Aid and make your first payment.

If you are not ready to enroll you will be offered choices for next steps.

CREATE
Now you are officially enrolled and you will begin to set up your studio in preparation for LEGEND and for ORIGINS in September.

You will begin to calendar the coursework in advance and prepare to be LIVE as often as possible.

ZOOM Interview Space - Let's gather face to face in the virtual space ! If you are not experienced with ZOOM please try to practice prior to the call with a friend - checking your volume, and your screen - this is a face-to-face experience and is part of your readiness for Origins. We need to SEE and FEEL each person coming into this training. When you first arrive you will be in a 'waiting room' and we will admit you. Give us a few minutes of wiggle time as we may be completing another registration.

"Thank you doesn't suffice to express my deep gratitude for this transformative experience. I've grown and evolved, embracing Life 2.0. Shiloh's promises were fulfilled in Color of Woman, surpassing all my previous soul work. I feel fully embodied and excited to relaunch my services. The training was a class act, rooted in love. Grateful to the team, cohorts, and classmates." ~ 2022 Color of Woman Graduate Intentional Creativity Teacher, Lisa Martin Naimi: United States
