"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.

Dreams are Never Tiny

Poetry as Rites of Passage
 

What audiences are saying about

Dreams are Never tiny

"WOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! Stunning. I burst into tears. I smiled and I remembered. Thanks for...a perfect gift at a perfect moment."

"Your 'gift'  is superb and it filled me with peace and inspiration. You are a true Wise Woman. I am proud of having the privilege of working and learning from you."

 

 

 

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.

Inspirational Talks

 

 

"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!

 

Maria Mar

 

 

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:

bullet

Their creative palette

bullet

Their gem-sculpting instruments

bullet

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.
