My Dangerous Beauty

I was introduced to My Dangerous Beauty through the Nurturing Your Feminine Spirit Telleclasses.

It was only three weeks into the series that I knew I wanted to join and become a member. I was simply not willing to see what I was experiencing come to an end. It was for me, that needed, that nourishing, that life giving. I knew I belonged here.

Everyone has different stories and experiencing about joining, becoming a member of something, making it official in such a way. For me, I have always been a bit hesitant, skeptical, more comfortable sitting on the sidelines, watching and observing, but without the pressure to fully participate.

So in some ways it was a surprise to me that I was so eager, so ready, so willing to say a whole hearted yes. This speaks to me of how safe I felt here, how welcome, and how deeply the foundation of My Dangerous Beauty had already become a part of me.

Being a member has been an invitation into life for me. I have been well held as I experienced transitions in my life, free to simply rest and be nurtured by the others. I have been encouraged to share my own gifts within the community of woman and seen those gifts as having value and being celebrated. I have known what it is to not be alone but have a place of belonging where there is space and welcoming for me in all my contradictions and energies and movement. And I have come to experience ways of being, of communicating, of expressing and honoring my truth, that truly transform me and my life, even as I go about the most routine of daily tasks, take care of my child and connect with my husband. So, though only one “part” of my life, being in the My Dangerous Beauty garland feeds and nurtures all of my life, while offering me a space in which to return back home to myself, connect with others, come into the space where I can once again listen deeply to myself, to others, to life.

Being a member, having the opportunity to connect with these women, in this space, regularly and in varying forms, it is a gift of love I have given to myself, in the process and unfolding, transforming the way I love

others.

It feels like it waters me, feeds me, breathes me, to life.

Signing up for, and then experiencing the Nurturing Your Feminine Teleclass Series was a gift I gave to myself, the reverberations of which I still encounter today.

I felt it as a coming home, sinking deeply into my self, my knowing, and in this safe space, unfolding, unfurling my wings and finding new ways of being that were not something “out there” I put on over myself but the most authentic expression I have ever tasted. It was nourishing, comforting, inspiring, revealing. I was invited into a deep rest, letting my own truth be seen and heard without the need for explanation or the many words of justification.

And from this space, I found myself more at home in the world, grounded in my sense of what it means for me to live fully and freely as a woman, with my heart open to love and be loved by others.

It is difficult to describe what those weeks were, as each one was rich with meaning, beauty, layers peeled back and insight sparked and sometimes just the pleasure of being in my body and finding myself connected to other women.

I found here in this series of classes the space to nurture, and this is exactly the right word for how it felt, my feminine spirit, a spirit I was aware of being in some way my essence or core and yet felt so often disconnected from. I learned through the practices and conversation and experiences on the calls a felt and lived understanding of the feminine that was far beyond what I had imagined, assumed, chosen as my own confinement. It is not an understatement to say that this time was life changing for me.

Liana brought such skill, depth, and integrity to the times together.

She is gifted with sight, with vision, seeing deeply into the heart of people and matter.

And she speaks this with clarity and compassion and love.

In her presence, I felt all parts of me welcomed, invited to come to the table and feast on life.

I will always be grateful for her, for the way she has chosen to offer her gifts, allowing me to come and learn from her.
