The Dance Lesson That Changed My Life

Darlings,

About five years ago, while in the midst of a huge personal transformation (a.k.a. divorce), Sister Goddess Sally Blenkey offered me ballroom dance lessons with her husband, Alex Tchassov, as a Christmas gift. Saved Mama’s skinny little ass, she did, by giving my feeties a vehicle to soar, to sing, to celebrate, to learn to dance.

Dancing is not an intellectual activity. You cannot know of the butterfly within unless you take her out for a spin and let her flap. And you gotta know that I knew as much about a business plan as I did about tango – exactly nothing. This does not matter when your goal is to soar. Everyone has a butterfly within. Giving her space to fly gives wings to your dreams.

I feel like a queen in Alex’s arms, and I promise you – you will too. The Evening of Dance Seduction is more than a lesson in dancing – it is a lesson in partnership, trust, and owning your beauty. So grab your dancing shoes and allow yourself to be seduced by the beautiful art form of ballroom dancing.

With so much love and pleasure,
Mama Gena

When’s the last time you had the privilege of feeling as though you were pure poetry in motion? On Monday, May 23rd, from 6:30pm-9:30pm, Alex Tchassov will be hosting “An Evening of Dance Seduction,” designed to allow you to give full expression to your own joy, right on the dance floor, and learn the principles of pleasurable surrender, in the arms of a trained professional.

This event includes an introduction on how to enjoy dancing with anyone (even if you think that they—or you—have two left feet), exercises that encourage you to own your beauty, and practices in basic social dance patterns. The evening then culminates with a dance; Alex has invited a group of trained male dancers, who will each invite you onto the dance floor to be swirled and twirled. You will have the opportunity to dance with six different men. This is an ecstatically fun evening that replaces the stuffy notion of ballroom dancing with one of seduction, where you can practice the art of pleasurable surrender in a completely safe space. The price of this evening is $125. See www.alexandsally.com for details or call (347) 248-2533 to register.

Alex also teaches private lessons in NYC (Chelsea). To schedule a lesson, call Alex at (646) 515-4360.

And, if you’re looking for a workout that will leave you feeling head-over-heels in love with your body, Sally teaches Burlesque Bikini Bootcamp on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday in NYC (www.burlesquebikinibootcamp.com). On Saturday, May 7th, Sally is offering a one-day intensive on adoring your female form, called “The Boudoir Bunny Make-Over.” This event kicks off with a Burlesque Bikini Bootcamp workshop, where you’ll learn to appreciate every facet of your unique body type, followed by a champagne brunch with choreographers Lady Chardonnay and Pink Champagne, where you’ll dig deeper into the specific science of reframing your attitude toward your body—beauty and femininity comes in every shape and size! The day culminates with a styling session and makeover and your own Boudoir Bunny photo shoot. Allow this empowering photo shoot—and gorgeous photos of yourself—to transform the way you feel about your body! Call (347) 248-2533 to register.

Tuesday In My Living Room

So.  Last Tuesday, a bunch of my Inner Circle gang spilled into my living room for the lunchtime Q&A call, just like every other odd Tuesday.

I love these lunch hours.

We hang out in my loft, and have a chance to go really deep and really personal with the women in the room, and the women who connect with us on iLinc.  Some as far away as the UK!

The intimacy is indescribable. The laughs—ridiculous. The scope of our love—inexhaustible.

The week before, we had an event at my house, and the topic was Man-Training. We had some crazy, hot, live, interactive demonstrations with men who had flown in from everywhere to be on this panel.

April is Man-Training Month in Inner Circle, and my special guest was the incredible David Deida.

May is Sensuality Month with visits from the Drs. Bodansky and Sheri Winston.

June is Hexing and Money Month with Barbara Stanny.

July is a wild card, yet to be revealed…

Inner Circle is small and intimate, which allows Dr. Anne Davin and I to design the curriculum precisely for the specific desires of the group.

It is never the same—and it is always better.

At last, a playground designed for an extraordinary, deep launch into living the precise landscape of your desires.

There was never more off-the-hook fun or more personal, in-depth transformation anywhere, ever.

And I wanted you to have a little peek!

Who knows?

Maybe I will see YOU there one day…

With so much love and pleasure,
Mama Gena

Mama’s Got Free HOT Business Training For You!

"Yes. I confess. We had a few glasses of champagne together, and I was caught partying with my b-school coach on New Year's Eve."

Darlings,

If you’re a Sister Goddess who has her own business and wants to make more money, and reach more people via the Internet, you have to check this out. Two of my favorite entrepreneurs, Marie Forleo and Laura Roeder, are sharing some incredible online training videos as part of their Rich Happy & Hot b-school launch – for free!

In this video series they’ll share detailed case studies, reveal exactly how they make money online, explain marketing strategies in a simple and fun way, AND teach you how you can do it, too – all for FREE! Not to mention they make it super fun and sexy…no buttoned up business training here. (I hear there’s a movie trailer and music videos—these ladies know how to make business fun!)

One last important thing… Marie told me that since these videos are part of their b-school launch, they won’t be available forever. So if free business training turns you on, go sign up to watch them now. Both of these women have added so much to my business. In fact, I took this program last year and it inspired us to add well over six figures to our bottom line. And the quality of this material is incredible. I’d really take advantage of all this goodness if I were you. Use this as a kick-start to get your genius out into the world in the most pleasurable (and profitable) way possible!

With so much love and pleasure,
Mama Gena

A Peek Inside Mastery

Darlings,

This is it.

The month that Persephone crawls back from the underworld and relaxes into spring.
The time of year when you don’t know whether to wear your down jacket or a t-shirt.
When we all are yearning and itching for that transformation–body antsy with desire, ripples of longing crossing our souls, hot hunger fighting with the damp weather that just won’t give it up…yet.

Take that temperature and you have the confluence of forces churning through the extraordinary sea of women at The School of Womanly Arts Mastery Program, this past week.

Here’s what took place: Friday night we had the largest clothing swap on earth, complete with stylists, makeup artists, and hairdressers.  Everyone went home with gorgeous stuff!

Saturday we swamped.

We saw how we could choose to step into the darkest feelings of being lonely, scared, and disenfranchised, and own the raw beauty in this dark face of the Goddess.

When a woman falls rapturously in love with her dark side, she unites with the most beautiful and powerful part of herself, and alters her destiny. It is the inhabiting of our own darkness that is the key to bringing in the light. The darkest part, of each of us, is delicious.

We were formally introduced to the concept of the Courtesan, and how to navigate the realm of the Courtesan’s Journey, as a tool.  By so doing, we each have the opportunity to relocate ourselves from victim to heroine, by bringing the fire, passion, and sensuality in each of us, into every aspect of our lives and the world.  We learned that by using the Courtesan’s Journey as a tool, we can turn our hardships into our very own magical elixir.  Not bad for a day’s work.

Sunday, we had Barbara Stanny teach us how to take ownership of our finances.

And Alex Tchassov brought the art of ballroom dance.

And so so so so much more.

My gratitude to those of you who are with me, in the Mastery classroom, and those of you, without.

I am so deeply grateful to each of you, for your courage and brilliance as you gain momentum, each day, in the use of the School of Womanly Arts Tools and the Arts. And my deep gratitude to those of you who stand for us, witnessing us, as we surrender deeper and deeper to the journey called woman at The School of Womanly Arts Mastery Program.  I know, I know, each of us takes a few steps forward, then, tumbles.  Baby steps toward pleasure are the way a mere mortal becomes a Sister Goddess.  Here’s to many more tumbles, and triumphs, ’til we meet again!

With so much love and pleasure,

Mama Gena

P.S. Please come celebrate graduation with us, June 19, 2011, 2:00pm at Hotel Pennsylvania, NYC.

P.P.S. Next week we are off to Miami.  I am sure I will send some brags from South Beach!

“It Takes a Checkbook to Change the World”

Darlings,

Our very own, delicious Barbara Stanny is at it again!

She has created the most incredible workshop for women who are determined to take control of their financial destiny and create huge abundance in their lives.

Stanny has had a powerful influence on me, and my finances. She took me from a place of huge debt to being financially free.

I took her classes, worked with her privately, and completely revolutionized my relationship with money, so I am now more successful than I have ever been.

I am no longer afraid of making money—I love it.

And I am thrilled to offer you the opportunity to benefit from her work.

With so much love and pleasure,

Mama Gena


Dear Sister Goddesses,

It’s happening! Next month! On the East Coast! My Sacred Success™ Retreat.  But it’s limited to only 25 women. And space will go fast!

What is Sacred Success™?

Sacred Success™ is my latest body of work. It is for women who’re out of debt and on the verge of or have reached Affluence. It is the most powerful material I’ve ever created.

 

There are 3 levels of Financial Development

  • Survival — doing what it takes to stay afloat
  • Stability — generating enough cash flow to meet your needs, eliminate debt, and protect your future.
  • Affluence — accumulating ample disposable income to live the life of one’s dreams

 

For over a decade, I’ve been leading women to Financial Stability in my Overcoming Underearning workshops.

Sacred Success™ is the journey from Stability to Affluence. Believe me, it’s very different from OU.  At this level, Financial Success becomes not just a practical process but a Spiritual Practice.

Why is Sacred Success™ Important?

I believe the planet desperately needs Affluent Women.

As Mother Theresa once said: “It takes a checkbook to change the world.”  I’m convinced that when enough financially independent women reach critical mass, we’ll have the resources, values, vision, and sensitivity to heal this planet and change this world.

I want to be part of making that happen. And I’d love you to join me. Together we can pump up the Pleasure Revolution through the Power of Our Purse!

Who should attend?

  • If you’ve already achieved a great deal, yet still deeply desire, definitely deserve, and fully expect to reap even greater financial rewards…
  • If you strive for ever higher earnings, but at the same time sense there’s more to success than making lots of money…
  • If you’re finally debt free, ready to live a richly rewarding yet more meaningful life…
  • If you’ve inherited or married wealth and desire to be a responsible, powerful steward of this money…

… then you won’t want to miss my Sacred Success™ Retreat.

What will you take away?

  • Learn the 4 surprising steps to Sacred Success™
  • Pinpoint the legacy you wish to leave
  • Figure out your Highest Purpose based on your deepest truths
  • Integrate the 4 prerequisites for Sacred Success™
  • Understand the 4 Rules for Receiving, critical to achieving affluence
  • Powerfully navigate and appreciate the Value of the Void
  • Practice the 4 levels of Disciplined Action
  • Discover your path to Greatness
  • Blow the lid even further off your earning ceiling and/or relationship to wealth
  • Be held accountable for stretching farther than ever before
  • Receive valuable follow-up support after the retreat is over, including private coaching with me

East Coast Sacred Success Retreat Dates

Seminar begins at 1:00 pm on Thursday, May 12 and ends 1:00 pm on May 15th.

 

Location When I launched the Sacred Success Retreat last year in Washington State, I had a huge request for one on the East Coast— so here it is! It is the only one I will be doing on the East Coast this year. The Sacred Success™ Retreat, limited to 25 women, will be held in the serene, scenic, and plush Mt. Washington Conference Center in Baltimore, MD. (www.mtwashconfctr.com)

 

Price: The all-inclusive price includes lodging for 3 nights and all meals beginning with dinner on Thursday and ending with lunch on Sunday, the Sacred Success™ workbook, and a one-hour private follow-up coaching session with me (a $550 value alone!) for only $2,178.00.

If anything you’ve read resonates with you, if you’re ready to be one of the 25 women leading the way to Sacred Success™, click here to find out more.

With Gratitude,

Barbara
