Bella’s Experience of being a My Dangerous Beauty Garland Member

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.

Mystery School

What does mystery mean?  Mona Lisa had a mysterious smile, Agatha Christie wrote wonderful mysteries and in the past we never knew the sex of our babies until they were born, their gender remained a mystery.  Any secret is a mystery. Genitals are hidden, our most wonderous cervix is nestled inside of our beings.  We don’t know how many clouds will be in the sky in the next hour?  The feminine is a mystery - why does she do what she does?

My Dangerous Beauty is a place where women come together and enter into their innate mystery, like artists gathering to express themselves.

Since the beginning of recorded time, Mystery Schools’s have been created in Ancient Eypgt, Greece, China, South America. These schools have traditionally taught great mysteries from the occult and higher learnings and always involved some form of initiation which often lived on the edge of life and death.

My Dangerous Beauty really stands for the sacred woman in you, your dangerous beauty, not ‘my’ dangerous beauty as the writer, but yours as the reader and the explorer.  I (we) see your beauty and I (we) can smell how wonderful you are, and I (we) yearn to see all of you.  We’ve learnt to hide ourselves from ourselves and we often feel like we are a long way from home.

My Dangerous Beauty may not be for everywoman. If you can smell some truth amongst these words, I ask you to follow that truth.  To explore what it really means to be in a woman’s body with a woman’s heart and soul.

Women’s lives are full of initiations and we often go through life numb to these initiations and what they mean, unaware there was no place to go, to share, to explore these experiences.  As women we have often been taught to shut down our feminine energy and make it more manageable and efficient - so we can get things done.  But deep-down we are aching for something more.

My Dangerous Beauty has several gateways, and you are invited to hear us calling you, just as the Summerian Goddess Inanna heard the call clearly from Heaven to make her own journey in reclaiming herself.

My Dangerous Beauty is a vehicle to encourage and cultivate your sacred feminine eros creative beautiful self, to celebrate the mysteries of being a woman and celebrating the yearning heart of every woman and her desire to dance in the rain of love and the fire of grace.
