Book Talk

Lift the wisdom out of the page through our soul talk, real talk with Maria Mar

Monthly Book Talks with Maria Mar

Reading one of Maria Mar's books? Engage in soulful conversation about what you are reading. Get help implementing the wisdom. Get your questions answered. Share your insights. It's so healing and uplifting to laugh, cry and share stories together!

As a storyweaver, I know the power of stories, especially in the voice of the storyteller that brings the reader into resonance. I also know that when you read about transformation you think you understood... until you try to implement, and then the questions rise, as rambunctious as a flock of crows. And those magical moments when something moves you deeply... we need to share them, don't we? Reading is lonely and that can be good. But sometimes, we need to come together to lift the wisdom off the page, to laugh, cry and share stories together. Then the book comes alive, like a fairy godmother, and blesses our life. Let's do it!

If you are reading my most current book... or my previous book... or your favorite book of mine.... or a book I wrote a while ago, but that you need to implement into your life right now... of if you have questions about my books or stories... or if you simply love to have rich, soulful conversations and like my books... then join the Book Talk. It's like a Book Club married to a Fire chat talk. And in another dimension it's also an anthropological dig... where we dig up and find the treasures in those pages and bring them to life for our empowerment and delight! 

Current Book: Creative Emergence
Forging a New Earth Through the Fires of Evolving Democracy

Working cover. This may change completely.

I'm writing like a maniac. This book has been a challenge because 2024 and 2025
were not just two different years. They are two different worlds.
So I've had to practically rewrite the book.
It ended being a story told in two dimensions!

2026
I'm doing my best to finish in January 2026,
promote in February-March and
start the Book Talk at the end of March 2026.

So our Book Talks will start in Thursday, March 26 at 5PM EST.*
5PM EST |  4PM Central |  3PM Mountain |  2PM Pacific | 1PM Alaska

After that it's every 4th Thursday of the month.
* If the timeline for publishing moves, don't worry!
You will get the first chapter delivered via email at the beginning of that week,
so we can have that conversation!

When you sign here, you get:

  •  Email reminders the week of the talk in Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, to make sure you don't miss it.
  •  Zoom link to the Book Talk. It's live via Zoom so we can see our faces when we share stories and dive into those juicy shamanic insights. 
  • Emails with links to the replay. Within about 48 hrs, the replay will be available.
  • You can post comments and questions under the replay if you were not able to go, and I will answer.
  • If you signed up for the Creative Emergence Journey, then the Book talk is included. Sign up for that here: https://storyloversclub.newzen... 
  • One yummy conversation every month. At a time like this, it may well be a life-saver!

One of my happy places is rich, soul-nourishing,
story-sharing  laugh-out-loud (or tear up) conversation.

 Let's meet in this happy place!

Maria Mar

Are you struggling with putting your gifts “out there”? Then Maria is your guide to breaking free from the fears and limitations that steal your gifts from the world. Maria Mar is a storyteller, author, poet, performer, artist and shaman with more than 40 years of experience in transformation through the arts. She has helped creative women in three continents to embody their purpose, unfold their potential, share their gifts and awaken their creative genius. She is a scout for you during change and challenges and helps you go from where you are to where you want to be. Maria invites you to play for your transformation in a magical process that employs creativity to design the life you want. Maria specially loves to work with multi-talented women who are ready to be change-makers but struggle to integrate all their gifts to serve the world. Her shamanic stories are journeys of transformation, manifestation and liberation that lead to potent, immediate and deep changes in your real life.

"The most essential, life-changing power we need is the ownership of who we are, of our organic gifts, talents and strengths and the deep feeling of the value of our essence and presence in this world. When we know our value and feel our gifts then we can apply that authority to anything we want. We can learn new things smoothly and become masters in our field. That is what working with Maria Mar gave me. I have taken that confidence and personal power and generated visibility, authority, prestige and income beyond what I could have imagined and what other artist-teachers in my field are making. I see myself as my own boss and can initiate strategies to share my gifts with the world, expand my impact and claim my place as a leader. And this is priceless."
