Shine Without Shame- Be the light the world needs now

Breaking free from top 5 challenges that keep women from shining their bold bright true colors and sharing their gifts to make a difference

Is this You?

  • :You're hiding in plain sight. You've been creating something that embodies your purpose or expresses your potential. Perhaps you are doing something new, exploring a new field. Maybe you are writing a book, creating a blog, developing a system of knowledge, or painting a series of art pieces. Maybe you've gather your experience into an a transformation that you want to lead others through. But every time you think of stepping into the limelight to make your creation public, the voices of fear drown your desire: fear of shining for fear of outshining others and being rejected, fear of visibility, fear of publishing, speaking in groups, doing videos or launching your offer. You feel that you are hiding in plain sight. No one sees the secret genius in you!
  • You've been pushing yourself to work hard. But when you don't see the results you want, you lose motivation and get distracted. Perhaps you go from one shiny object to the other ~from one course, training or coach to the other~ and when it does not work, you change direction again. Perhaps you lose your enthusiasm and get depressed and have to take time off. Perhaps you leave projects incomplete because you lose the drive to finish. Whatever your reaction is, it steals your consistency and you gain no traction. 
  • You compare yourself to those who are ahead of you and then feel intimidated to approach them. You look at the giants in your field and want to reach out, but you feel that you have nothing to offer, so you keep on working, trying to gain leverage, perfecting all your stuff. The more you work the farther away they seem, and you start feeling that you will never be good enough to be noticed by them. Without you even realizing it, a sense of unworthiness steals into your being and sabotages your confidence.
  • Fear of communicating a message and creating conflict holds you back. Your message is is innovative or different and can be controversial. Suddenly you have visions of people attacking you, of your peers rejecting you, of others accusing you of being an impostor.  Fears or being attacked, invalidated or involved in a yucky social media insult round paralyze you. You write articles, polish your message, write our book... but shelve your creations out of fear of being attacked if you launch your message. 
  • Working alone and by yourself, without support is depleting your energy. You spend more time tinkering and fine-tuning to make everything perfect than reaching out to those you can help. But then it's never good enough. so you don't launch. Or perhaps you do, but  get disappointed with the results and feel "What the point?" Nothing is changing. Your finances are dwindling and you are not moving ahead. You feel that you are running in place, working in isolation, like a mole. You end up feeling lonely, abandoned, a failure. After such a cycle, you end up exhausted, depressed, demotivated or even sick in your lonely struggle.  You give up or have to take time out to deal with the emotional crisis.

If any of this feels familiar, this journey is for you. 

The experience you are invited to is not about how-to do stuff. Often your to-do list is part of the problem. 

It is not about results, metrics or changing a set of habits for another.

It is a journey to shapeshift into a new way of being and seeing the world.

It is a ceremony for shedding the pile of masks ~false identities~ that have been hiding your shiny Sacred Self.

Discover how to release the fears and stories behind these top five challenges that steal your brilliance and your talents. 

Release the rags of restrictions, judgments and shaming that have been dumped over your Essence and feel your radiant self emerging. 

Your doing will change when the being doing the doing changes.

When you develop an expanded capacity to love yourself, to embrace joy, to feel your authority, beauty and value and to embrace your possibilities ~then what you struggle to get now will become who you are.

Journey with Maria Mar ~author, storyteller, shaman, transformation artist and women's self-actualization guide~ in a Sacred Journey where you will activate your creativity to change these old energy patterns, so that you adopt perceptions and responses that support your talents and connect your gifts to the world.


"The Universe does not give you what you want.
It gives you what you are."
Type something

Unlike many success trainings, this journey is not about results. It is about becoming.   It helps you vibrate at a frequency that opens the path to your brilliance and allows your dreams to emerge from within you and shape your reality.  

This journey is a virtual experience, self-paced, with a female-friendly integrative, embodied approach and including live events with Maria Mar.  

The world needs your gifts... it's time to step into your light!

Break through the fears that keep you from shining your bold bright beautiful colors in a holistic, creative and magical journey.

A holistic integrative approach

The limiting stories holding you back are not just mental beliefs. Imagine a holographic globe of emotions, memories, beliefs, expectations and ancestral traumas embedded in your energy field. Each time you try to move beyond your fears, the entire shebang is triggered and overlayed over your perception, distorting your current reality.

You need a holistic approach to re-weave that pattern into the brilliant life you want. You are a multi-layered being and it's all connected. Address emotions, mind, body, soul and spirit. Go to the core issues and the energy patterns holding them in place. This empowers you to change your limiting stories from within by reweaving the fabric of your being.  

Enjoy a creative transformation

Transformation is challenging.

Breakthroughs can be painful. But when you bring creativity, art and ceremony into the journey, it becomes a playful discovery!

The practice of Story Alchemy* is a blend of story-building ~rewriting your old stories. Combined with embodiment practices like BodySourcing* and ChiDances* ~ these processes empower you to re-weave your energy patterns so that you align with your dream, gifts and potential.

Maria combines this with Artchemy* projects where you use art as alchemy. Through collage-making and other easy arts and crafts, you bring hidden, invisible, intangible internal obstacles into the surface of your consciousness so that you can now change them.

*Trademark systems created by Maria Mar

A shamanic approach that can flip your world in a blink!

Both quantum and neuroscience are just  catching up with the shamans of old. They are recognizing shamanic principles such as the Twin Law of Energy and Attention, the power of acceptance, intention and gratitude and our core nature as energy beings as well as the power of sound and emotions to generate radical transformation.

Unfortunately, our Western culture traps us in a mental attitude that steals the wisdom of our heart, the truth in our body, the effectiveness of energy practices and the relevance of creativity and imagination in our transformation.

Break free of that mental cage and see your wings gracefully unfolding.

Why suffer through transformation when you can PLAY for it?

"Maria Mar and Yollana Shore, I just finished listening to your conversation in the storytelling video and had so many take-aways. When you began talking about the Prosperity Thermostat, it resonated very strongly. Financially, my parents never had enough as they grew up during the Great Depression so I realized I have been living a theme of "not enough." I look forward to working with my Ancestors in the process you described. Thank you both so much for this time and for sharing your conversation."

What if change could be a magical journey?

What if the results you want did not have to come out of struggle, pushing, fixing or stressful approaches.

What if you could employ your creativity, enjoy your journey, discover your magic mojo and uncover your feminine gifts and in this exciting adventure you shifted your world and found yourself  "suddenly" inhabiting the dream that seemed so far?

There is a concept called Wu Wei that describes Lucid Living, when your goals are achieved without struggle because you live in the flow.

I call it streamliving. Streamworking. Streamhealing.

This journey is the portal to that way of life.

"I felt challenged and loved unconditionally at the same time. Gained insights, as well, and am using your book to inspire me further."

- Nancy Fairbrother

There is no rush. Have fun. Enjoy it!  

The live events go on for 3 months so you can get a grip on the ChiDances. After that, if you paid the full three months, you can keep going at your own pace. If you want to keep going with the live events, you get a discount.
