• Are you tired of hurting AND of running away from pain?
   

• Would you like to magically transform your broken places into your strongest places?
   

• Do self-help books make your mind swell with ideas, but don't seem to get you off your feet?
   

• Does therapy comfort you, but leaves you stranded as to how to change?
   

• Do you need more, but can't figure out what?

Congratulations! You are a normal, blood-in-your-veins, real life woman. Thousands of women have these problems, and we know what's bothering them and you. As women, we also struggled with these issues for years.

The obstacles you are meeting are due to the fact that most self-help philosophies, systems and books in the market are based on the Male Way of Knowing, on the male psyche and on the spiritual experience of men, which is profoundly different to women's social and personal experience.

The bad news is that the Female Way of Knowing has been made invisible. The Goddess temples were destroyed, Wise Women burnt as witches and Female Archetypal Stories were distorted to pose as fairy tales where the princess kisses frogs as a way to get love and power. Whew!

The good news is that there is a deep well of Female Wisdom buried in your woman's psyche. All that was erased from history is still burning in your DNA! We offer you an experience designed to awaken your own Female Wisdom.

We offer alternative personal growth paths that are in tune with your Female Way of Knowing. Our systems and writings, as well as our art events, are based on  our own experience as women, artists and Latinas and proven to work with thousands of women from all walks of life, races and cultures, both in the USA and abroad.

About Maria and Corazon

We are Maria Mar and Corazon Tierra, two artist-shamans who have spent the last 12 years of our adult life in an amazing, powerful journey of transformation. Our path led us to tap into a deep well of Female Wisdom.

We were asleep, but when we woke up, we saw that our hands were full of powerful, essential Female Gifts that we as women brought into the world. We learned how to recognize, clean, gather and direct our Female Powers towards our own self-development.

In this 12-year process, we realized that the female psyche learns and changes in ways that are specific to women (and to the female soul in men, as well). To tap into this Female Way of Knowing, we created two life solutions systems, each featuring its own Creative Collection to help women change, heal and prosper.

About ShamansDance

Our company is ShamansDance, and it is here to help you discover the hidden beauty, power and magic inside you. Through our Creative Collections, books, art events and eproducts, we help you use art to transform your broken places into your strongest places.

ShamansDance uncovers the alchemical power of art to transmute your pain into power. We fuse the power of books, personal growth tools and the arts to help you overcome your limitations and fly into your dream!

You as a woman learn not only through how-to guides and skills. You need to immerse yourself in an emotional, creative, sensual and soulful experience that touches your heart, ignites your passion, heals your body and expands your perception. This is what we offer you through our two Creative Collections.

Every day of your life you face a choice between habit and change, between growth and stagnation. Your want to be free to follow your dream, but find yourself trapped in learned limits and habits that are hard to leave. Growing out of your limitations and stepping into your Personal Dream is a journey into the vast mystery within you. It can be scary. It can take a long time, as you repeat mistakes and try out different solutions. It can cost you relationships, jobs, health and years of your life.

ShamansDance helps you discover the alchemical power of art to accomplish change in a joyful, healthy and  soulful way. With art, change does not have to be painful. When you strike pain, as is only human to do here and there, our Alchemical Arts & Crafts Projects, Transmutations, Meditations, Power Walks, Dance Alchemies, life coaching guidance and support, as well as our live and downloadable ceremonies will help you walk smoothly through pain into power.

Founders Maria Mar and Corazon Tierra are two professional artists with ample experience in theatre, dance theatre, visual arts and professional writing, both in the fiction and non-fiction genre.

We are also experts in the field of personal growth through the arts. We have transformed our vast expertise working with women, children and youth and with multicultural and Latino audiences into creative female-based solutions to your life's problems. We have walked our talk and now we talk our walk.

Areas of Expertise

In our 12-year training, we were able to transform our emotional wounds and limitations into our Personal Medicines. This, combined with our 40 years combined experience in personal growth through the arts and our professional expertise, allows us to help you transform your pain into power. Our art events, stories, products and services help you deal with:

• family dynamics and creative family living

• your prosperity, issues with money and success

• your ability to manifest your Personal Dream

• women's empowerment and female-based wisdom for soulful success

• mother-daughter relations

• body image and healthy living

• overcoming addictions and compulsions

• self-cultivation, positive attention and freeing your creative potential

Our Creative Collections

Enjoy our Creative collections, where we integrate the healing female archetypal stories in our books and ebooks with personal growth tools, such as internet services and products.

PBS-featured artist-shaman Maria Mar has created the Bewomaning Collection and its system, The Bewomaning Experienceä to help women discover, value and use their Female Powers to achieve success with soul. Integrating emotional intelligence, shamanic principles, sound life skills as well as marketing and business savvy, Maria Mar guides women to stop kissing frogs and kiss themselves awake. No more Cinderella. Bye bye Ugly Duckling. Adios Sleeping Beauty. Free the Diva dancing in your heart and step into your dream through the Female Wisdom system of The Bewomaning Experienceä.

Internationally known bailaora and author Corazon Tierra has created the Beloved BodySoul Collection and the Beloved BodySoulä Female Rites of Passage to help women and young girls live freely and joyfully in their bodies. Through exquisite storytelling and movement Corazon Tierra awakens the power, grace and self-authority sleeping inside you. The impact of her authentic, heart-felt words and the beauty of her dance is present in every book, event and product. She touches your soul deeply and gives you permission to be all that you are. The Beloved BodySoulä Female Rites of Passage help you heal your relationship with food, body image and self-expression.

Our books, writings and art events

At the heart of each of our Creative Collections, there is a book. We have created a new genre of books, the Book Beyond the Page.

Our magical fictional stories come from our real-life journeys, our training as Women of Power, and our work helping others transform pain into power. We transform these experiences into fiction, and then recycle the fiction into reality by creating structures, events and products that allow you to use these stories as a map to your own life adventure. See Summary of Featured Books.

Our art --whether it be our writings, performances or personal growth through the arts products and workshops-- is created with you in mind and heart. It is:

• Highly interactive

• Magical and entertaining

• Authentic and based on true stories and our own walk

• Connected to your real every day life

• Created to help you address your woman's needs
  and soulful desires

• Designed to engage the way you learn and change
  as a woman

• Designed to bring joy, wisdom, creativity and magic
  into your personal transformation.

Our art is a bridge that walks you into your dream.
