Cosmic Cowgirls™ : A Magazine. A University. A Publisher. A Community.
A Cosmic Cowgirl is a woman with her feet on the earth and her head in the stars. She is both grounded in reality, and continuously dreaming about what is possible, for herself, and for all people.
Our organization was established by twenty-five Founding Mamas on January 23, 2006 in San Francisco, California. Our vision was born out of a ten-year project of art and publishing called Color of Woman.
Our Founder Shiloh Sophia McCloud has worked in the field of transformational education for over fifteen years. She has published seven journals and taught thousands of women about creativity as a path of personal transformation and spiritual practice. She brings her passionate work and research in this field to the platform of Cosmic Cowgirls, with the intention of expanding this ministry to include the voices and visions of others committed to this work.
Cosmic Cowgirls is founded on the belief that each of us has a story to share that can empower and bless other women. Cosmic Cowgirls offers a pace in which our stories, challenges, and victories can be expressed and shared.
What if the suffering we have experienced could be transformed into medicine and healing for other women? What if our experiences could be used to ignite and support the success and prosperity of other women? What if women were actually able to financially support themselves through their creativity and teach others to do so? What if we have done enough healing work to enable ourselves and others to get on with the work of the visionary within each of us?
Guided by the spirit of love, wisdom, truth, abundance, compassion and celebration, we are gathering our tribe and creating a legacy for ourselves, and for future generations. We create, celebrate, shine, and have a grand time!
Cosmic Cowgirls brings to life projects we hope will be a blessing to others. Magazines. Books. Journals. Events. Images. Workshops. Relationships. Community Actions. Sacred Spaces. Music. Film. Collaborations. Possiblities.
We are a woman and girl owned membership based transformative media publishing house. Or in other words...a Cosmic Community committed to collective transformation through revolutionary media.We do it because it is in our hearts to offer who we are into an arena in which it can be shared with others. To bring our stories and experiences into the service of others.
How can it be expressed? What does it feel like to create a dream? To see it come to fruition? To be a part of creating true transformation within the world? What words or ideas or images can convey my joy at working within the community of Cosmic Cowgirls to make visions come to life?
That is what we are all about - bringing into form tools that literally bring a blessing into the lives of women and girls and the women and men they love. Creating on behalf of ourselves, and others....
The collaborative creation of our work is designed to illuminate, inspire, and inform the journey of a woman's life. Our legend includes tales of true love, peacemaking, compassionate action, healing, chosen livelihood, outrageous possibility, graceful transitions, spiritual practice, profound connection, faith path, and justice.
Some of our current projects include:
Heart of the Visionary: A Workbook to Empower Women's Work Speaking My Truth: A Rights of Passage Journal The Caring One: A Journal for Those Who Care for People with Alzheimers Mending Invisible Wings: Journal for the Loss of a Child Women's Addiction Recovery Journal
