"Show, don't tell.
Experiences, not promises."
That is the value that artist-shaman Maria Mar uses in
the creation of her speaking events.There are plenty of speakers out there
who excite people with promises of what is possible and then send them to
the back of the room to buy their products for the delivery. Maria
Mar walks her talk and talks your audiences into their walk.If you are
looking for a transformational experience, an unforgettable magical event,
and an experience that engages the audience as SpectActors instead
of spectators, you'll find what you are looking here. |

This event
features a ceremonial poem of moving beauty. The poem is recited by
poet-shaman Maria Mar with live music, visual presentation and ceremonial
guidance.
Dreams are never tiny is a poem that calls women back to
their dreams. Their BIG dreams.
It begins:
|
Dreams are never tiny.
Small girls dream big,
for they listen to the Dream of Earth
planted and blooming in their souls. |
Then it goes to call the women by name: Mary, Terri, Lilly,
Nelly, Sally. Each of these women started with a dream of something they
loved to do, a talent, a passion, a vision.
Then the poem begins to name the BIG enemies of dreams:
habits, addiction, scarcity, dependence, lack of self-love, unfocused
anger, victimization.
The poem proceeds to reduce the size of those problems that
seem so big while increasing the size of the women's capacity and
potential.
It leaves women with a message of hope and a call to
overcome pain:
|
Dreams are never tiny.
Their birth is bound to hurt. |
Through the unfolding of the poem, the audiences
participate with simple movements, sounds, call and response, so that they
are deeply engage physically, emotionally and verbally in the ceremonial
journey to reclaim their authentic dreams and fuel their motivation.

Growing your Success
Seed
Tap into the Success you already are
Success is not a result. It is a feeling. Comparing
ourselves with others, self-judgment and pushing ourselves to deliver are
all ways that create stress in the limbic system of women and spiritual
creatives. All this effort is unnecessary and inefficient. Like the acorn
contains the oak, your soul contains the seed of your potential. Learn how
to grow your success seed and you will tap into the success you already
are, increasing your self-esteem and feeling a success every day.

| "To
MagicMark your Life is the process of painting your life
with the magical, passionate true colors of your spirit. It is expressing
your unique colors and daring to dream and achieve authentic
success. It is using your creative palette to help transform your
life so that you can live your dream. It is loving yourself and daring to shine in all your
greatness. It is living an inspired life."
Maria Mar |
In a mixture of conversation, journey, storytelling and
ceremony, Maria Mar takes the audience through the magical process of
creating one's life masterpiece.
"It all begins with the mess you've created." Maria
starts. "What we usually do with the messy parts of our life, with
our mistakes or wounds is to judge ourselves or turn away in shame or
avoidance. But that takes away our power to change. You can't change what you can't see and you
can't heal what you don't feel."
Then she shows the audience what she means using
her quirky props, original illustrations and what she calls
"shapeshifting" ~shifting your body and posture to fit your thoughts and
emotions.
Through the participatory process, the message begins to
emerge. We are each the creator of her or his own life. The audience is
prompt to look at the circumstances and results to find what part of the
'mess" they've created. Then they are guided to find the "message" in that
"mess."
|
"In every
wound, there is a Medicine.
In every
mess, there is a message.
Every
Broken Place is a Power Place.
No. It
gets even better.
You are
wounded exactly
in your
Power Places.
The wound
is what urges you
to clean
the mess
so you can
find the message
you came
here to give.
When you
dive into your pain,
you find
your power!

The audience is
lead to playfully explore how they are creating the life they are living
and given a set of creative tools to use:
 |
Their creative
palette |
 |
Their
gem-sculpting instruments |
 |
Their personal
compass |
The audience
participates in creating a different reality using Image Theatre
and other games and participatory devices.
The result is a
knowledge that has percolated from the logical mind into the heart, the
body and the subconscious. Unforgettable. Practical. Self-empowering.
Transformative.
