Darling,

Darling,
The seed versus the flower.
I am compelled by the resilience of a seed.
Throw them anywhere that approximates good conditions and you can have yourself an oak tree growing in a sidewalk crack.
On the other hand, some seeds can be stored for years and years—if the conditions are right.
For example, did you know that in 2008, scientists in were able to grow a date palm from a 2,000-year-old seed in the Judean desert?
Another team of scientists, last February, grew a wildflower from a 30,000-year-old seed.
I have always been a researcher of conditions that cause a woman to grow. To encourage her to burst into bloom, wildly, madly, extravagantly.
When I look around the world, I see a culture of women who have been encouraged and educated in maintaining the practice of being a seed, not a flower.
I see a culture that is even less hospitable to the growing conditions called woman, than it is to a sidewalk crack.
It is almost as if the world is skewed to keep a woman small, compacted, and separated from her power.
Why?

Darling,
I am writing to you on my last night in Paris. All the women from the Creation Course have just left, and I just had to share that I am so deeply grateful.
Swept away.
So moved.
So astonished by the sheer raw beauty all around us.
And so deeply, deeply touched.
This trip completely exceeded any dream I might have had.
After a year of preparation for the Courtesan’s Tour of Paris, four months of Parisian rain stopped and the sun came out.
Paris opened her arms.
The sisterhood.
The love.
Women stepped into their magnificence, surrounded and supported by a city that honors the magnificence of women.
From boat rides on the Seine, to dancing at the Opera Garnier, strolling the tuilleries, each woman dared to step into her eternal, irrevocable, sacred impenetrable spot.
Where inadequate and merely adequate were no longer a part of the equation.
I have seen it with my own eyes.

Darling,
This is it.
This is the moment I’ve been waiting for since the conception of the Creation Course last year.
Paris.
In just 48 hours we will all be converging at the Warwick Hotel on the Champs Elysees, as we begin our total immersion in the city that was, and is, the engraved invitation that called the Courtesan into existence.
As we’ve been sharing about the upcoming trip, I’ve had people ask me, exactly what IS the Courtesan’s Journey? And what had me build an entire program around it?
Have you ever felt that the Hero’s Journey, the monomyth for how “man does life,” just does not quite fit the woman that you are? The Courtesan’s Journey is the antidote, the custom-designed monomyth for the feminine, designed to give a woman navigational certainty as she charts her course through every phase of the adventure of life, designed by her desires. The Courtesan’s Journey is where the human and the divine within take hands and re-create us into the women we were born to become.
I first introduce this to my students in the Mastery classroom. continue reading…
Darling,
There are days, there are times, there are actions that we inhabit that ensure our mediocrity.
You know this feeling. You drag yourself from bed, follow the deep grooves of the tracks you laid the day before, and the day before and the day before. Perhaps “rut” is a better word. You show up at your job, sit in your cube, and perform in the minimum daily way you are required to get the paycheck. Dinners are thawed, the remote control and the couch insulate you from change. Predictable days turn into predictable years, and thus another mediocre life has been spent.
There are ingredients that destroy a woman’s body and soul.
Mediocrity is one of them.
You can feel your life force draining from you when you make that choice.
So let me provoke you with this question: What part of you is eternal?
How do you create a playground, a foundation, a structure for that incandescent, eternal part of you to emerge and take her place in the galaxy?
We have just started to answer that question in Mastery, with the introduction of The Courtesan’s Journey curriculum. The Courtesan’s Journey is the feminine version of The Hero’s Journey—a map, a frame, a formula that a woman can follow when she wants to learn how to unleash her destiny and live her divinity as a way of life.
This journey is not for every woman. continue reading…
