Intrigued by the possibilities that Mama Gena's Mastery program can bring to your life? But you need more specifics? Here are all the details, darling. We don't want anything to stand in your way!
The Womanly Arts Mastery Program
Does Mama Gena teach the course?
Yes, she does! At times, her world-famous guest speakers take the stage to share their knowledge and expertise.
Can any woman take this class?
Yes, as long as you are at least 18 years of age.
Where are the classes held?
In the beauty and splendor of New York City! Conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan.
Does Mama Gena teach Mastery anywhere besides New York City?
Mama Gena only teaches in NYC. Mastery is full of so many wonderful details that we have women from all over the world take her course. There's nothing like this anywhere else! The Mastery schedule is designed to make it easy for women to travel one weekend per month for class. On average, 30% of our students travel to Mastery from outside the New York City area. Hundreds of women have crossed oceans and thousands of miles to participate in this course.
How do I decide whether Mastery is right for me?
If it is at all possible, we really encourage you to arrange to come to a LIVE orientation evening. This is free.
Our orientations are designed for you to experience Mastery. You'll have the opportunity to experience Mama Gena and her teaching style, hear our graduates share their experiences, and walk away with tools that you can begin using the moment you leave. After just one evening, you'll experience yourself differently as a woman.

I live out of town and cannot attend orientation—how can I find out more?
Many women tell us that just one night at Mama Gena's orientation changed their lives. So we have put an audio recording of her orientation on our website for you to enjoy. Just click on this link to experience a night with Mama Gena! But really - if you can get to NYC, don't miss this marvelous opportunity to experience her in person!
How can I find out more about the participants' experience in Mastery?
Check out our graduate testimonials to hear inspirational stories from some of our participants. Desire even more? Enjoy listening online to one of Mama Gena's orientations. Many women told us that this one night with Mama changed their lives, so we have an audio recording for you to enjoy.
What are the dates and times of the classes?
Mastery consists of 4 weekends of class (one weekend a month for 4 months) in NYC with 2 months of follow-up support over the phone. This makes Mastery a 6-month course.

What are the Friday night events?
Three fabulous Friday night events are included in the price of Mastery:
- A Night of Fashion with a huge clothing swap
- A Night of Networking — Using the Principles of Pleasure in your career
- Men's Night — Mama Gena teaches her famous class, Mama Gives It Up to Men, for the male guests of current Mastery students.
Besides Mastery, do you have any one-day events or weekend workshops?
We do not have any one-day or weekend workshops. Mastery was specifically designed to be held over 6 months to allow participants the opportunity to absorb the technology and concepts with support. After all, you're learning a whole new way of living. Mama Gena loves teaching Mastery. Come join us and let her get her hands on you!
How many women are in the course?
Around 200 women, ages 18-86 years old, take the course together. We also place our students into smaller groups led by a Mastery graduate mentor (or as we like to call them, a Big Sister Goddess) for some of the activities of Mastery.
We love that our students come from all over the world and all over the United States to be in class together. There is so much fun and support to be enjoyed!
Do women take Mastery with their friends? With their relatives?
Yes, many women find it very pleasurable and rewarding to take Mastery with their girlfriends, sisters, mothers and daughters. We encourage every woman to take her space in the class and go for her desires with the support of her friends, family and new Sister Goddess friends in class. And it is perfect to take Mastery on your own and make new friends!
What if I have to miss some of class?
We recommend that you do not miss a minute of class because Mastery is very experiential. It is designed for you to fully participate in and for you to enjoy doing Mama Gena's exercises with your fellow Sister Goddesses.
As a bonus, we audio record each weekend so you can play back moments from Mastery and enjoy them all over again and perhaps take your learning even deeper. And if you have to miss an hour or two you can listen to the audio files through your computer. We post the files to the Online Community Board that is just for your class.
If you would have to miss an entire weekend, we suggest that you take the next Mastery offered either in the coming fall or spring.
How do graduates stay involved?
Our graduates stay involved in a myriad of ways. Grads often decide that they want to experience the fun of Mastery all over again, and take the program again to enjoy even more practice with the tools and technology Mama Gena offers. Some grads repeat Mastery by taking on a leadership role as a Big Sister Goddess.
For others, their pleasure path leads them to the next level of learning. They join the Inner Circle, a program only offered to Mastery graduates, which gives Sister Goddesses more of Mama through individualized curriculum, one-on-one coaching and the opportunity to be privy to advanced pleasure teachings. Graduates sign on in increments of six months or one year.
Graduates can stay involved by applying to be a member of the Mastery volunteer team, known as Team Pleasure. Team Pleasure members volunteer during all four weekends of Mastery in New York City. One of the prerequisites to be a volunteer is to be a graduate from Mastery. As Mama Gena says, "The key to an ecstatic life is through service to others!"
The Online Community Board, the OC, is a feature of the class that stays up for grads to stay connected to each other for decades after their graduation from Mastery. The OC is a great opportunity for grads to use in staying fresh and well-practiced with the technologies and tools that Mama Gena teaches.
Grads also stay involved by enjoying their lifelong friendships with the Sister Goddesses they meet in Mastery!
Are there any CDs of the class I can buy?
There are no CDs of Mastery available for sale. When you are a student in Mastery you can enjoy the audio recordings of the weekends.
I live out of town, and want to take this course. How do I go about it?
It's easy to take this class if you live outside of the New York area. We hold the classes on weekends, to be convenient for those of you who also work and/or may have to travel some distance to New York City. We have observed that women who travel make an even greater commitment to their desires and learning, and get that much more out of the program.
On average, 30% of our students travel to take Mastery. Many stay with local Sister Goddesses or at nearby hotels and consider Mastery weekends to be their spa weekends. When you enroll, we will explain how to make it all possible.
No matter how far the distance may be, just make the commitment to yourself and put it on your Desire List. Then call us at Mama Gena's 212-787-2411 and let us know about your desire to be in Mastery!
Are there any classes for men?
As part of the Mastery program, Mama Gena teaches her class, Mama Gives It Up to Men, to men who are invited by current students. It is one of the best parts of Mastery. The men love it! As a current student, you can invite your husband, boyfriend, crushes, brothers, guy friends and ex's to this class for men. There is no fee — it is complimentary for the guests of a current Mastery student.
Do I need to wear anything special?
It's pleasurable to come to class wearing something you love so we recommend that you wear what feels good. Some women enjoy dressing up, so it's up to you and what brings you pleasure. There may be a time when Mama Gena asks you to dress in a particular way for an exercise in class.
Tuition
What is included in the Mastery Program tuition?
The six-month course includes 4 NYC weekend classes with Mama Gena, a goody bag each weekend with books and other fun items, and all parties or events that Mama Gena plans for you. During class you can look forward to hearing world-renowned guest speakers, learning tools and technologies first-hand from Mama Gena, participating in exercises that bring out the best Sister Goddess in all of us, Big Sister Goddess mentoring, amazing Friday night events and plenty of surprises.
One of the best surprises is the fun you will have on the bonus trip to South Beach Miami! Mastery students join Mama Gena on vacation for a weekend together in the magic of the sun and warmth of Miami. The time spent with Mama in Miami is included in the tuition. This is not to be missed!
During the weeks when we are not in class together, there is the benefit of the Online Community board to keep you connected to your desires as you practice bragging with your fellow Sister Goddesses. This board is also used for networking, sharing your pleasure research, discussing homework and while you're a current student, you'll have access to Pleasure Revolutionaries who will answer any of your Pleasure questions within 48 hours! You will be able to use this board for the rest of your life and it is considered to be one of most important pieces of technology that Mama Gena has created.
At the conclusion of the four months in NYC, there is a fun-filled graduation and a party afterwards to celebrate! At this point, you'll begin to enjoy 2 months of follow-up support over the phone with Mama Gena and your Big Sister Goddess. This time is one of the highlights of Mastery as you return to your life and watch how some of your biggest desires transpire.
Is Miami included in the tuition?
All class sessions in Miami are included in the tuition. Students are responsible for paying for their flights, food and hotel room. Mama Gena's will organize a great hotel rate for Sister Goddesses!
What does the Mastery program cost?

The first payment is taken the day you enroll and the remaining payments are taken on the 20th of each month thereafter. Mama Gena's accepts Visa, Master Card, Discover Card, American Express, cashier's checks and personal checks.
Are there any scholarships available?
We do not have scholarships available. And Mama Gena knows that you are capable of creating anything and everything that you desire.
Traveling to Mastery
I'll be coming in from out of town for the course — which airport do I fly in to?
You can fly into any of the three airports servicing NYC. LaGuardia, Newark and JFK airports all have easy transportation into the city.
How do I get from the airport into the city?
Many students enjoy using Super Shuttle or a taxi to get into the city. There are city buses and air trains to the subway that you can take into Manhattan as well. They may take a little longer, so plan accordingly.
Where do participants who travel stay?
Mastery students stay in nearby hotels and with local Sister Goddesses who open their homes. Mama Gena's selects hotels within walking distance for you to choose from and local Sister Goddesses offer their homes as well. When you enroll in Mastery, we'll assist you with these details. Nearby hotels range in price from $150 to $450+ a night.
