It Takes A Village

It takes a village.
All women know the truth of that.
Hilary Clinton coined this phrase when she spoke of raising of a child- and I’ve found that the same applies in raising a woman.
Yes, raising.
Raising her orbit.
Raising her income.
Raising her hopes.
Raising her expections.
Raising her eyesight, her imagination, her reach.
The Womanly Arts Mastery Program was designed intentionally to surround and support a woman as she lives in the action of creating her desires.
And it takes a village. From the women in the class- the Sister Goddess Community- to the incredible Guest Teachers I bring in- who are all pioneers in their fields- to the 30+volunteers who help produce the event- to the Big Sister Goddesses- grads who lead a group of Sister Goddesses throughout the 6 month process. There are calls, an online community, homework and tools and arts to guide and inform the unfolding process. A village. Primitive. Wild. Indigenous. And perfect.
I don’t know a more powerful village/tribe for women on this planet.
I do know that the results of this village on a woman’s soul and life are unprecedented.
Every woman deserves a village dedicated to her dreams.


SG Yaf is an incredible example of a woman being raised by a village. How else does a woman go from bankruptcy to six figures, and creating her own foundation?

I started Mastery in the spring of 2008, two years after incurring over $50,000 in debt from my ex and filing for a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. I had just been audited by the IRS, who were demanding tens of thousands of dollars from me, and I felt burdened by the shame and guilt of that debt.

I remember our first “swamp” exercise in Mastery, when we learned to powerfully embrace our dark feelings. I felt a ton of bricks lifted from my shoulders. And the liberation continued throughout that first weekend of Mastery. My journey toward financial recovery had begun!

I actually learned to get into agreement with my bankruptcy and realize what a genius I was for creating my debt, so that I could then create financial empowerment. Learning to swamp allowed me to release my shame and own my creative power. These moves saved my life! I was anew! Bills to pay—yes! But no more fear of interest and collection calls.

Mastery also gave me access to an array of pioneering guest speakers: leaders in the fields of women and money, sensuality, health and love. Without Mastery, I might never have met Barbara Stanny, a.k.a. The Money Goddess! This magnificent woman taught us about the relationship between pleasure and finances and the true meaning of financial empowerment. It was through exposure to her work with six-figure women that I realized I wanted to become one myself!!!!

Throughout Mastery, I benefitted not only from the work of Mama and her guest speakers, but also from the example of so many other powerful and successful women around me who were creating wonderful lives. During graduation, SG Ruth revealed that she used the tools of Spring Cleaning and partying with money to increase abundance into her life! I immediately spring cleaned for 30 days on money, and it has since become nearly a daily practice. My relationship with money flourished as I began to consciously honor it.

But I was still working long hours with little savings and desiring a better job that I did not believe I could have. SG Alice would lovingly tease, Sure, stay there and keep working for nothing! It hurt but I knew she was right. So one day I decided to organize my very first Jewelry Trunk Show! The support of my sisters was overwhelmingly beautiful. Seeing their belief in me ignited my desire for greatness, no matter what it took! I walked from 47th St down to SoHo repeating my “womantra,” I believe in myself! I am enough!!! Having a successful event showed me my own power. I could now submit my resignation. I asked my Sister Goddesses to send their juice! I knew my sisters were there for me, so what was the worst thing that could happen? I was done working for nothing and having no life!!!

When I told my boss I was resigning, he offered to double my salary! Because I was standing for my value and my abilities, I didn’t even have to ask for it! I decided to continue with the company and become a six-figure woman! And it was the Womanly Arts and the work of another guest speaker that Mama brought in, Jill Rogers, that helped me to see my boss as more than just a boss. Her Seven Sacred Steps of Extraordinary Loving have altered my life.

Yet once again, I still felt unhappy. I felt I had to choose between time and money! But Mama had taught me well; I wanted to go from good to great! I kept up with the spring cleaning and decided to become a licensed real estate agent. This was a way to test my skills in a different arena that I felt might be able to provide me with time AND money. And I wanted to spend a lot of my time with a special someone…

At the end of my first Mastery I met a man that I really liked. He lived outside the US so time was truly of the essence. Armed with renewed strength and confidence, six months after I had been offered a higher salary, I visited my boss and resigned again (my favorite new negotiating tool). I thanked him for the opportunity to work with him for so many years and acknowledged him for all the gifts he had given me.

I brag that he offered I become a share partner in the company and earn ten percent of the annual sales with a guaranteed minimum earning in the six figures. The possibilities here are endless!

I brag that in 2010 I took eight weeks off PAID, and on October 1st, 2010, I married the love of my life- you guessed it, the same man I met at the end of Mastery in September 2008.

I further brag that I am the founder of ASB Foundation, named after my father, Amette Saloum Boye, and our website just went live a few days ago. This foundation supports the children of lepers in Koutal, Senegal by giving them the gift of being kids. This is a dream-come-true for me, as I desire to make millions, save millions, invest millions, and give millions!

I have no doubt in my mind that without the tools, incredible teachers, and women I met in Mastery, that none of this would have happened.

I am so grateful!

Love,
Sister Goddess Yaf

It takes a village.

Warning: A Room Full of Women Can Get You Pregnant!

Did you ever have a desire that just seemed to have you by the ovaries?

I’m talking a big one. One of those desires that if it would just come to pass, then everything would be right in your world?

It doesn’t matter if everything else is good around you–maybe you’ve got a great guy and a fun career, but you really long to travel. Or you’ve got a healthy body and a killer social life–but there’s that aching feeling for a partner to share your bed and your life with.

Ah, the things we women do when we’re left to our own devices. The stories of tragedy we can weave when we hitch ourselves upon a steed of unfulfilled dreams.

It’s the study and practice of The Womanly Arts that teaches women to unhitch from that ol’ mare of disappointment and instead learn to party with what is–strike that–a woman learns to celebrate the beauty of what she has, she gets right with the timing of her desires, and it’s only then that all that she truly desires can come rushing toward her.

And guess what–it’s not a solo sport. Uh huh. Women require community. They require a community of women who stand for and can see her genius creation and act as midwives for that big beautiful desire. THIS, my darlings, is the magic of my Mastery Program. I’ve witnessed magic and mayhem occur within the walls of Mastery and in the arms of the Sister Goddesses. Together we’ve birthed thousands of desires.

Speaking of which, did you know that a room full of pleasure-filled women can get you pregnant?

Meet Sister Goddess Amy…

*

Where can I even begin to tell the story of how I ended up at Mama Gena’s School for the Womanly Arts? I suppose at the beginning-bear with me. I had been hearing about this course from my best friend Rochelle for years. Each time she tried to encourage my participation she was met with an emphatic “no way!” “that’s so not for me!”, “it’s way too expensive!”, “everything in my life is going great-why would I need this?!” The whole idea of the SWA seemed totally crazy to me. This stuff was not my style. I was sure I would never partake in what I deemed to be a program for people with self-esteem issues.

Well, a couple of years into Rochelle’s attempts at getting me to sign up, everything was not going so great anymore. I had just lost my first baby after 16 weeks of pregnancy and I was devastated, depressed, and saw no way out of my despair except to get pregnant again as soon as possible.  Nothing would be okay with me until I had a healthy baby in my arms. But of course, we’d been trying for months without any results. Each month that passed without a positive pregnancy test, I sunk deeper and deeper into depression. I was looking for any way out and decided to finally let Mama Gena give it a shot.

 

I had no idea what to expect. Through all of Rochelle’s coaxing, the one thing made clear about this course is that what happens in the SWA stays with the women who experience it firsthand.  Words would never do it justice, so it was best not to even try to convey what happens to an outsider.

 

All I knew was that I was looking for a way to cope with my loss. Rochelle assured me that I would get the help I needed. I personally could not see a way to achieve happiness without getting pregnant, and from what I could tell, a room full of women was not going to get me with child. Whatever. I was determined to be a quiet observer. I was just going to sit in the back and take it all in. I was not interested in participating—I was just going to take what was useful for me and try to incorporate that into my life. It was worth a shot. I was desperate.

 

Well, Mama Gena is a genius. She obviously knew something about the power engendered from being in a room surrounded by hundreds of women who are there to support and love you no matter what. This is a strong foundation from which her messages can be more easily heard and assimilated.  Really, every woman should experience the kind of vibration brought on from being enveloped in so much positive energy. And that’s what it is—a vibration. Without anyone saying a word, I could literally feel a force acting on my body, so filled with love and acceptance that I truly felt high and a bit shaky. And I am not that easy to impress. Well, this certainly got my attention if nothing else.

 

But as I said, I was just there to observe. I felt that my problems were not nearly as traumatic as what others were sharing.  I mean come on; I had a loving husband, a stable job and home, a great circle of friends, and a wonderful relationship with my family. I would keep my sad story to myself, thank you very much.

 

After 2 weekend sessions with the SWA, I was officially abuzz with happiness and a kind of body buzz caused by being turned on to life again. With much practice, I convinced myself that: my life was great just as it was, and that a baby would come at the most perfect and elegant time (and let me tell you—this took a lot of practice and would have been impossible without the support of MG and 200 fabulous women). Well, I told this to myself every day for 2 months. And by the end of the 2 months, I actually caught myself believing this mantra for short periods of time. I was thrilled with my changing outlook, and could feel the shift right down to the cellular level in my body. But still, the pregnancy tests kept coming back negative. Even with the use of a fertility monitor that told me exactly which days I was ovulating…I got nothing. And to add insult to injury, I found myself in a month where I never ovulated at all! What!? That can happen!?? Apparently, it can.

 

So it’s time for weekend 3 of MGSWA.  I am on day 25 of my cycle, and according to my fertility monitor, never ovulated this month. I take the 1-hour train in from where I am living outside of the city. I am staying with Rochelle in Brooklyn for my weekend with Mama. I wake up early, pee on my fertility stick, put it in the machine, and…yep you guessed it—OVULATING—on day 26! The ONLY day of the month that I am not sleeping in the same bed as my husband. And why the fuck am I ovulating on day 26?! This does not make sense. I was completely horrified that this was literally the only day of the month I was away from my husband. Tears and anxiety soon followed. Evidently, all my practice at being Zen in this area of my life went out the window. It all seemed SO unfair.

 

But of course, there was clearly a higher power that was having a little fun with me. And let me just say that I am NOT a religious person in any way. I am somewhat spiritual in my own kind of way, but nothing too serious. And more to the point, I am a trained scientist–I get off on facts.  Things I can see. Things that can be explained. I can be very cynical, and if I am going to have “faith” in something, there usually needs to be at least an inkling of research done to show that it is probable.  But I digress…here is what happened:

 

Rochelle convinces me to call my husband and make sure that he meet me in the city that night. I had nowhere to take him to do the deed, but that was beside the point. We had a whole day ahead of us of practicing The Womanly Arts—this would all work out—just get him out here! I have to give props to him. He had other plans and was about an hour and a half from the venue. I basically asked him to come in for about 30 minutes, and then go back to where he came from! But he agreed. He’s a keeper! (Thanks Mama for the excellent man-training lessons!). The next step was to BRAG, yes that’s right—brag! about my crazy ovaries, and how they couldn’t resist the feminine power of the weekend. Brag that they knew just the right time to ovulate, amongst such an incredible support group that would want all my dreams and desires to come true.

 

But WAIT! I was going to sit quietly in the back—that was my plan! I couldn’t possibly spill my story in front of all these women that I barely knew.

 

Another voice in my head, a louder voice, screamed “what do you have to lose??!!” So I did it—I grabbed the microphone and told them everything. Before I knew what hit me, a Sister Goddess ran up to me with her hotel room key. She was staying just around the corner and the room would be vacant for an hour after class. Then, another Sister Goddess runs up and gifts me a small fertility goddess statue that she happened to have on her that day. THEN, Mama Gena notices that another Sister Goddess just happened to be using her breast pump to extract milk for her own baby.  We all thought it a good idea for me to rub some milk behind my ears!! All of this happened in the blink of an eye. I told my story for maybe 3 minutes, and within 30 seconds, I had a hotel room key, fertility statue, and breast milk behind my ears. And most importantly, 200 women rooting for me, standing for me, loving me. It was euphoric. I was shaking. I couldn’t believe this was happening. This doesn’t happen in real life, right? I had to concede—this was magical!!!!

 

Class ends. My husband is waiting outside the building. I won’t go into the details—you can use your imagination here. And I imagine that you probably already guessed that I actually got pregnant during all these shenanigans. It was such an extraordinary conception. My life is forever changed, and I shudder to think how everything might have gone had I not signed up to take Mama Gena’s course. I have learned how to turn my desires into reality. Is there anyone who couldn’t use this skill?! I type this from my home, where my 13-month-old angel sleeps in her crib. I have just finished cleaning all the dishes from the baking course that I just created and teach out of my home. My husband is preparing the hot tub for a soak at the end of a long, fulfilling day. Life is good.  Thanks Mama and to all the sister goddesses of the world!!!!

Love,
Sister Goddess Amy

Did I just pay $5K for a pink boa convention on the East Coast?

Good Goddess, I love this woman.

The other day, I am rolling through my e-mail, deciding what to delete first, and I open up a Google Alert (thank you to all of you who write about the SWA–I so appreciate you!) and read these words–and I am flat-out overjoyed, ecstatic and laughing my head off.

Meet Dara. It was a post on her blog volvernow.com that had me crackin’ up. It so turned me on to hear her share how Mastery impacted her that I asked her if I could share it with you all, and being the Pleasure Revolutionary she is, she said yes. Join me in my enthusiasm for this delicious Sister Goddess.

Hold onto your hats–she’s a straight shooter, and does not hold back on her experience or her desire for you…

*

Recently, someone asked me to remember a time in my life when I felt ecstatic. Thanks to an adventurous and fun-filled time in my twenties, I have many moments to choose from. In my thirties, there is one time that completely wins the crown. So I decided to tell you all about it (sort of). And just to warn you, I am going to make a sales pitch here in which I don’t earn a dime.

When I was 35 I had a thriving Buddhist-based psychotherapy practice, Nia business, and my first child. I had the most difficult time transitioning into motherhood. Between the sleep deprivation, the solitude, the hormones and all that I had to say goodbye to, I was pretty miserable.

One year into my funk, I received an email from Nia Creator Debbie Rosas telling all the Nia teachers that she was about to do a program in NYC, and inviting all of us to join her. I clicked on the link and was brought to a very pink and fluffy website for “Mama Gena’s School of Womanly Arts.”

“What is this bullshit?” was my first thought. “Why is Debbie using the Nia teachers list to advertise a non-Nia program?” was my second. “So inappropriate,” I snarled and pressed delete. Four months later, I received another email from Debbie describing her profound experience at the school and inviting everyone to her graduation. This second email caught my positive attention and I began my research.

Being that I was a miserable woman who said, “If these are the cards dealt for women, then this is so fucked up…”like once a day, when I listened to Mama Gena’s orientation online, I couldn’t help but envy the many diverse voices of very happen women. No, they were extremely happy women. No, these women were ECSTATICALLY happy. One after the next, standing up and crediting the school for their massive transformation into confident women who got what they wanted in life…times ten. How could I resist?

When I signed up, the woman who registered me remarked, “This course is so intense.” Really, I thought? Isn’t this program about pleasure? Having worked in a facility for chronically mentally ill adults and having sat many hours meditating, I couldn’t understand how learning about pleasure was going to be “so intense.”

After slapping down the $5K it costs to attend and booking four plane trips to NYC, I suddenly had TONS of doubt. The course seemed cheesy. Mama Gena seemed brash. Did I just pay $5K for a pink boa convention on the East Coast? I ended up in my intuitive’s office crying about my decision. She assured me I was being called to the East Coast and it was going to be great.

The course started on a Saturday at 10am. I was the very first one there. Soon I was surrounded by 200 women–most were newbies like me, though many were graduates. As I was waiting for the course to begin, I suddenly did sense something very intense. I realized that I didn’t know anything about pleasure. Tears began to drop from my eyes. When I looked up, one in about ten women were quietly sitting in their seats wiping their eyes. I wasn’t alone.

I need to preface this next part with three things: 1) I am a very soulful gal. I lived in Boulder, CO for eight years and I have done a TON of personal growth: meditation, books, yoga, a three-year degree in Buddhism and psychotherapy, a good stint as a therapy client myself, and workshops galore. 2) As a native New Yorker and the daughter of a cynic, I am NOT easily impressed. If someone can’t deliver the goods, I am more than annoyed. 3) I don’t tell anyone what happened at Mama Gena’s, it is ultimately indescribable, and I truly wish for every woman on the planet to experience it first hand.

The course began, and about one hour later I looked up at the stage and knew without a doubt that Mama Gena was one of the most brilliant people on the planet. By the end of the weekend, I boarded my plane back to Seattle completely fearless. Had my plane gone barreling into the earth, I would have gone down smiling. Every cell in my body felt free. I smiled at everyone, full of compassion, peace and allure. It was hands-down the most ecstatic and spiritual experience of my life. And that was just the first weekend.

I know it is kind of annoying that I won’t say more, but I can give you this metaphor: Regena sees this chain that is wrapped around almost EVERY woman in the world. She raises up a sword (metaphorically) and with one precise swing, strikes down with all of her might and breaks the (fucking) chain. Wham. Two hundred women are set free before they even know what is happening.

And did I conjure my desires? Yep. Including leading retreats in divine tropical locales, conceiving my baby boy and having the birth of my desires (which lasted only 5 hours!), healing my relationship with my sister after thirty years of strife, and a family gathering on Orcas Island in a beautiful beach house…to name just a few.
Though, being the soulful girl that I am, for me the greatest conjure was learning about and adopting the worldview of the feminine. She never lets me down. Through the sorrowful tears and ecstatic highs, I know how to work with myself in a way that allows for extreme amounts of clarity, creativity and pleasure. For this, I am eternally grateful.

So there you have it, dahlings. I have referred a ton of people to the course with rave reviews (and even won “The Pleasure Revolutionary Award”). Almost all of them told me that had they not known me and heard my story, they never would have attended. Like myself when I first heard about it, they didn’t get it.

For those of you who are thinking, but it’s 5K!?!?!? Going to see the Eiffel tower is also 5K, and this course gives back way, WAY (WWWWAAAAAYYYY) more than a trip to Paris (yes, it’s that incredible).
Another way to look at it: if you don’t have what you want in your life, when you are on your death bed, is 5K really going to matter?
Bottom line: If you feel called: DO. IT.
And yes, I am going back this year. I honestly think I could do Mastery every year for the rest of my life (swear).
Hope to see you there, and that this post was exactly what you needed to read.

*

Yeah, that’s my bad-ass Dara. It’s only a gratified, filled up, happy–I mean extremely happy–excuse me–ECSTATICALLY happy woman who can stand for other women so profoundly, so fiercely, so ASSUREDLY. She and I, and the thousand+ other Sister Goddesses who have graduated this program–we all stand for you, our sister. If you’re not getting yours–if you’re feeling unfulfilled, underwhelmed, and unrecognizable to yourself–get yourself to Mastery.

The only Mastery Program this year kicks off on Saturday March 5th in NYC.

Enrollment ends on Wednesday, March 2nd.

If you enroll by 5pm EST today (Monday, February 21st) you can participate in my Welcome to Spring Mastery call with me and your classmates from all over the globe. Call 212-787-2411 x1 to enroll or ENROLL ONLINE.

Knock knock… Nope…it’s not the Eiffel Tower calling…

With so much love and pleasure,

Crime of Passion: A Valentine’s Rant

Darlings,

Here was my fantasy newspaper headline this morning:

Mama Gena, deranged leader of the Pleasure Revolution, joined by a pack of hot-looking Sister Goddesses, was picked up by police after defacing hundreds of Valentine’s displays throughout the city.

Good goddess, I get so divinely irritated by Valentine’s Day.
It is one of those days–like Christmas–that can really set a woman up to feel like she does not have her shit on straight.
And this year, I am in a particularly gnarly mood.
As you all know, I am dating. Whew. :-)
(BTW, a HUGE thank you to those of you who sent me guys last month. I have had a couple of really really fun dates, and look forward to more! Keep ‘em coming!)
At least I was in a gnarly mood…until I talked to Sister Goddess Emily, and she reminded me of where she was last Valentine’s Day.
Which reminded me that no matter how many stupid cupids are glaring at me with their pointy arrows, there is no excuse to waste a crime of passion on one of those little guys.
Read how Emily’s genius not only turned her Valentine’s Day around, but turned her life upside down and sideways till she was living her dreams, and beyond….

In January 2010, I was still recovering from a horrific heartbreak the previous autumn, and started out my year still convinced that I would never love again at the ripe old age of 28. As February approached, my thoughts were grim, “Oh, God. I hate Valentine’s Day. I’m not going to have a date. Wah wah wah.” You know the drill, I’m sure. But then one day, my spirit of human ingenuity and my Mastery training sprang to life and I thought, “Well, if I’m never going to have a boyfriend again, I’d better learn how to be the best boyfriend I’ve ever had.“


So I did! I made the decision that February 2010 was going to be a wonderful month, come what may, and that I would do all the things for myself that a really great boyfriend would. Read on for what I did…

  1. I started out the month with a trip to my favorite sex shop, Coco de Mer, and purchased myself a little book of Pablo Neruda love poems. Then, I stopped by Vosges chocolates and bought myself a box of their truffles, my absolute favorite chocolates in the world (which I’d already learned through extensive chocolate research…). Both places, I asked the shop girls to wrap the purchases as a gift, because they were – a gift for myself! Doing this cranked up the fun factor of both the shopping trip and opening my gifts at home.
  2. Every night during the month of February before bed, I took off all my clothes, laid down on my sofa, and read myself a Pablo Neruda poem, once in English and then again in Spanish, really taking my time and savoring the sound of the words, even though I don’t speak a lick of Spanish. Then I’d savor one chocolate truffle – first smelling it, then admiring the texture, then nibbling it with the slowest, tiniest bites so that it took me the better part of 10 minutes to eat one truffle. If I had fresh flowers around, I’d end this ritual by sprinkling rose petals over my body, or I’d take a soft feather and enjoy the way it felt against my skin. This ritual always brought me back to a place of self-love, no matter what the day held, and also helped me ease into a relaxing sleep.
  3. I made sure to cook myself at least 3 new meals per week – things I’d never made before – to make myself feel even more loved and cherished.
  4. I joined Inner Circle at Mama Gena’s, because I knew that this would keep the spirit of self-love flowing for the next six months, and would support me in going for all my desires (this was really a genius move, if I say so myself…)
  5. I started S Factor classes as a pleasurable way to move my body in the dead of winter (soooo much better than joining a gym).
  6. I organized lots of dates with people I love–friends, gay boyfriends, theatre dates, brunch dates–as many fun outings as I could.
  7. For Valentine’s Day, I bought myself a gift I’m always happy to receive – a big bag full of Lush Valentine’s Day products! I look forward to these delights every year, and they never fail to disappoint. I made sure that I used them all up by the end of February to ensure that I would take several delicious baths to round out the month of pleasure.
  8. I bought two beautiful cards and wrote a love letter to myself and one to my future beloved. Because guess what? By the time I did all these things, I had faith that there WOULD be a beloved again. And you know what – now there is! But that’s a whole other story…

So that’s my list. I wanted a boyfriend who would cherish me, spoil my senses, take me on lots of fun dates, and encourage me to step into bigger things. And you know what? By cherishing myself, spoiling my own senses, taking myself on lots of fun dates, and encouraging myself to step into new, bold things, I felt like the luckiest girl in the world last February and every day since.

If I hadn’t picked up the tools I learned in Mastery and leaned into my community of Sister Goddesses, I can guarantee you I’d have plodded through February (and every other month) miserably. But because of my February pleasure experiment, I started dating again–a lot–which was FUN! I was living in that spirit of fun with men when I met my current amazing boyfriend–who is the love of my life, and is actually flying me to the U.K. next month to MEET HIS PARENTS!!!!! I promise you he wouldn’t have found me half as adorable if I hadn’t been living in my pleasure and treating myself like a goddess. And even more importantly, I have the tools to continue to care for myself, even now that the boyfriend has arrived. But I had to go there myself first before I could take someone else on the ride.

For me a great boyfriend would read me love poems while feeding me chocolate truffles, but for some it may be planning that long-desired skydiving trip (eek!) or taking a class in pastry-making (yum!). The only thing to remember is that you don’t need to wait for the boyfriend to arrive to do all the wonderful things he’d do for and with you. Do them now, Field of Dreams-style, and you’ll be having too much fun to care if he comes or not. And if nothing else, you’ll have an amazing February this year that will carry on into the next 10 months and beyond!
