HOMAGE TO W.I.N.

Every woman shall write history with her personal story.

October 6, 2012 :: We spent the day with 1000 other women at W.I.N., the Women’s International Networking Conference. Me, full of excitement after my first big talk about spirituality among collaborating women. My devotion. My blood. Kissing the mic. We need this conversation with the global business world, I told them all. I spoke boldly. We all win when we network and weave together our promises to create change.

Thefemalegrail.com is one year old. One year ago I wrote:

Whenever we enter a new stage in our life, we die and are reborn at the same time. Finding one’s own sacred voice is another rebirth, one of millions whenever a new era starts.

I rebirthed myself – this time live and on stage. I said, “I want to be enlightened,” while a thousand women listened.

My new passion: Enter uncommon spaces and start a conversation that has never been held there before.

Speak your desire out loud. Bold speakers are the new cool.

My love letters

At W.I.N. I met women from Africa. I met women from India. I met women from Europe. I met women from the USA. I met women from all over the world. In meeting and hearing from these women, I rededicated myself then and now to listening even more carefully to the planet and her 7 billion habitants.

My letters today are to women I admire.

My mind is openness.

The world is bigger than we think she is.

To Marguerite Barankitse:

In the photos you look undated, beautiful, uplifted, self-confident, vivante.

When I met you, you said: “Without spirituality we do not exist.” We hugged like sisters, at the first touch.

At an age when other women cuddle their children, you witnessed hell. You were forced to watch as 70 friends were brutally killed.

Who can believe the unspeakable; who will believe the unthinkable.

You have seen Death, and he granted you dignity.

I will never forget the words that you used to invite us to your Africa and her women.

You do not ask for pity. You ask for being seen. You ask for forgetting titles. Africa has given birth to a Saint from heaven. I believe in your bravery and your Maison Shalom: a peaceful realm for children’s souls.

Maggy, you changed my heart.

You changed my life more than you will ever know.

To Kristin Engvig:

Tell us how visions are born. Tell us how they come true.

18 years ago at a conference in Mexico you dreamt of a women’s conference. Today women join in from all continents and you meet them head-on. They have to meet your bold new visions. You dare. You open conversations about values and sustainability among cooperating worlds. Since 2012, spirituality and wildness have opened Pandora’s box. We admire you for this.

Tell us, how did you feel when you breastfed your infant son during the breaks of the conference you were leading? You are a new generation. You will let us know how it works to raise your child and your own success in tandem. Your W.I.N baby has gone global now, cultivated with curiosity and new paths for this planet.

Upon our first meeting, we both understood that we already know each other.

Today we know we made an appointment in heaven.

Our dreams are real.

To Karen Tse:

You must be an incarnated Buddha. You walk into the worst prisons of this world with your elegant pocket dress, swinging your chic handbag. Your charm is a powerful weapon to fight for those who have neither rights nor resources for a lawyer.

You started a war. In many countries torture is still an accepted way to coerce confessions and punish. Children are tortured for stealing a bicycle in Bangladesh; women pay for their husbands’ transgressions. Your war works to end that.

I pray that yours will win amongst the 10 chosen TED talks and millions of dollars will flood in, filling up the loose ends for International Bridges to Justice. May your warriors have all the support they need for their fight.

If not, I love your “No, I do not have the money” attitude. You will win at the end, even without money.

You won me over when you bumped into me 8 years ago and spoke to me fast, passionately, for 5 full minutes till you paused and asked: “By the way, who are you?” Your dream is mine too.

My friend, you moved me to tears when you arrived from Asia to get up at 4 a.m. to be there when I gave my first talk to a big audience.

The stage is yours now. May you win.

To Seema Kohli:

My soul stood still in silence when the click first showed your paintings. Your journey through the world of Gods and Goddesses and universe and earth. You paint with poetry and devotion.

I want to inhale the beauty you harness, to consume and claim it as the prize of my hunt.

You said you waited and painted without selling until you were ripe. Not for the money you paint. Today the airport in New Delhi is decorated with your images; they breathe India and her heritage. Every story you tell in pictures is a sacred offering. India is a cradle for the resurrection of art. Here is it carefully modernized by women who have studied the old scriptures. I smell a future trend.

A journey has begun for the heroes and heroines of the future.

Meeting you is recognition.

http://www.seemakohli.com

To you:

You are my hero.

Wherever you live and whatever you do.

Our titles are not important.

You are here. This is enough.

The gift of your presence.

I love you.

Thank you.

For being part of thefemalegrail circle. Thank you for each second we spent together dreaming.

I bow to the path for each experience I had this year.

As usual I celebrate silently. Within.

Wild love

REBORN INTO LIGHT

Darkness gives birth.
Turns nightmares into lost dreams: war, torture, contamination of nature, the exploitation of lands and earth.

There will never be a blank page.

We have traveled so far.

Our pages are overfilled with sacred stories
Of love and loss.

Instead of writing them anew,
We pray mantras:

Now I feel.
Now I taste.
Now I see.
Now I read.
Now I listen.

W.I.N. 2012: I AM THERE.

I will be speaking about “realizing you.”
October 3-6

Annual global leadership conference
Make Space: Find Possibilities

Meet you in Rome. We’ll be rocking the future.
For more details click here.



WE LAUNCHED. THE NATURE SPA IN LA LUMIERE.

100 % organic. For body, mind and soul.

I am so proud of me and us and what we created in short time,” said Shomani. All the guests have left and the air breathes still ecstatic. JAY. We needed this. Women! We still do.

We know that this would not be possible without women entrusting us with their body, mind and souls.

And The Nature Spa team rocked it. We surprised ourselves. Super-happy women gave us rave reviews, exceeding all expectations.

Wonderful women.

We bow to you. You were our gift at The Nature Spa. Together you will spread the magic we created. Your raves and suggestions are medicine for us and will allow The Nature Spa to bloom again.

We re-invented it all anew.

A spa in nature. No walls. A new atmospheric concept articulated by Aliana Devi. A new vision of living food seasoned with erotic taste explosions crafted by our brand-new seasonal team member Eleonore and Ranasa. A spa program composed of the alchemy of nature, earth, herbs, all handmade by Shomani and Parasi. And “the” secret facial anti-age treatment made by Durga. A magic ambience of light courtesy of La Lumière.

100% organic: the food, the cosmetics, the garden in South France. For the sake of Mother Earth.

A circle of mavens. Women healing women.

And me: An artist amid the fantasy of women’s sensual soul gardens.

My vision is born and was wildly expressed by my power team. It is the story of a lost tribe. We have learned so much in these days about how we can create from heaven down to earth. We fight to stay tuned to the source and our inner leadership. We bring new ideas to grow into greatness. We express ourselves in what we do. We stay tightly bound to truth even when it hurts. But we remember that we are all humans, and at the end of the day all emotional bursts are forgiven.

We have given birth.
Drops of decency dry on us like gentle rain and inform the way we hold space together. Overpowering others is out. Leadership and responsibility is our state of grace. Do it the way you would do it for yourself; give it all. We are heavenly exhausted. Our heart is so full of primal love.

Love declarations. Mmm.

First glimpses.
The magic lives.
You have to come.


Activating morning drinks a la Elenore.

Kjersti Borud: There is no place in the world I would rather be right now than here in The Nature Spa.

Soul garden awakening.

Dorothee Wetzel: Azure skies, sun-drenched crown of tress, joyful birds twittering and among brilliant white tents, a grandiose lounge landscape and cozy hammocks. Just the setting is a dream. Plus a variety of excellent treatments, the phenomenal food and the enriching conversations. The Nature Spa surpassed all my expectations! Thank you so much for all this!

Nomadic luxe

Nina Dreyer Hensley: I had 3 amazing, fantastic days at The Nature Spa. Being in this beautiful nature and garden gave me so much energy, inspiration and magic moments – being grounded to nature, together with 10 other women felt like being “home,” it was so relaxing and a natural setting, a place to totally be me. dreyerhensley.com

Womanhood and Feminine community

Regina Antje Haagen: A new light. Natural. Paradise. Alive. Filled with a majestic pamper program composed specially for my needs.

“This is food orgasm. I know how to make it. ” – the gorgeous Eleonore, The Nature Spa’s chef fairy. (It’s true. She knows how to make it.)

Nina Dreyer Hensley: I loved the great chef, she put so much love into the food, and I loved the way she presented the food.

Ulrike Müller: All combinations divine. Excellent!

Dorothee Wetzel: I loved absolutely everything about the food. No exception.

Wildness in vastness

Nina Dreyer Hensley:
How do you feel at La Lumiere? The third day I felt so “at home.” I felt I belong to the community.

Treatments

Parvari Stoll: An exhausted star needed deep recreation. Under the magic hands of Aliana Devi and The Nature Spa team I was allowed to recollect power, love and energy to shine again. A wonderful experience underneath trees, I immersed into mother earth. The wild Durga live and all this made this Spa unique worldwide. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
parvaris.com

Nina Dreyer Hensley:
Body massage: 10 points. The best 10 of 10 massage and consultants I ever had.
Anti-Age facial: Fantastic. Very pleasant, healing and effectual. Best facial for me, ever.

Kjersti Borud:
Body massage: Just fantastic in every way. Best ever.
Anti-Age facial: 10/10! wow!

Creative temple; the sacred heart circle

Kjersti Borud: I really enjoyed this. Everything well prepared and made possible to dive into it even for a non-artist. I enjoyed it and it is beauty.

Women’s temple: I liked the ritual. Gave me ideas for how to canalize anger.

WHAT IS LIGHT? MORE TRANSPARENCY, PLEASE.

I will not stop writing until you understand that you are Light.

The truth in you remains as
Radiant as a star,
As pure as light,
As innocent as love itself.

A Course in Miracles

Talking about Light is different than experiencing it. I was 24 when the Light exploded in the middle of “the” and “my” darkness. The Light spoke to me and left behind an impeccable feeling. The Light had personality. Instantly I knew who it was, and still do: Jesus was Light. For two weeks the Light pollution left me with the feeling of a spinning, bubbling pink champagne. Since I am addicted: I want to drink that moment and have this feeling every single day.

Liquid Light is love.

With a smile on my face I had to confront whether I had gone crazy or admit that it was true. I decided to drop the former and believe the latter. It changed my life dramatically. I moved from misery to luxury (more inside than outside). Kisses blown into my body ignited the desire: for me it was not enough to experience Light, I wanted everybody else to have it too.

Everyone deserves the euphoric feeling of being loved for no reason.

Each suffering deserves to be held tight with heavy passion.
Each loss must be embraced by this warm innocence.
To be loved is to be at home.

I signed up for an eternal subscription and started to search and learn. I went to India and met the masters, tapped into miracles and answered the call to become a spiritual teacher. I now teach others how to feel this Light. It lives inside waiting to bloom.

In so doing, I transformed my life for the better, layer by layer. I am a better and happier person. I know now: Light will change you into the loving person you want to be.

Light brought me to love; now I want to live before I die. When the high-Light was gone, I was hungry for life.

“My favorite journey is anywhere I haven’t been,” says Donna Karan. I agree.

Have you seen my conversation with Danielle LaPorte? I asked her: “How does Light taste? How does it sound, what is the texture?” I do this often. For myself.

What is your Light like?

The sensual illumination game.

Play with me.

My soullight sound is a drumming of sacred shamans humming in ecstasy.
My soullight sight is the golden honey Durga, currents and streams of abundance.
My soullight smell is bewitching amber and rose. Mmm.
My soullight touch is the shivering of joy.
My soullight taste is fresh summer raspberries and vanilla.

Copy it. Create a post on your blog or website and tell your people where it come from. I want to kindle a sea of Light. Our Lights.

Then copy it and post it below.
We want to smell, see, touch, taste your soul. Let yourself be spontaneous. Joyful.

Sing it loud. Your Light is you.

MY CONVERSATION WITH DANIELLE LAPORTE: SHINE

Ambition is a fertilizer for the soul.
I walked on the edge and stretched my comfort zone.

I asked Danielle for an interview in a moment of spontaneous genius during my Fire Starter Session with her last May. She said yes. Danielle is one of the most shining women out there; a role model for generation Z: the Ultimates.

For me the motivation isn’t to put more glamorous people on my blog. No. I am insatiably curious and love a good conversation even more than a good party. I love questions and the enlightened deepening that comes from witnessing another’s depth. You know, the real questions. Based on desire.

It was my first interview ever!

We talked about Danielle’s new plans, her launch of YOUR DESIRE MAP in November, writing and philosophy, her current inspirations, her son, about light and…

AND NOW, HAVE FUN.

Thank you, DanielleLaPorte.com.

Back to ambition:

Next time I will put 3 more cushions under my butt, take a preventive http://videoforshypeople.com coaching with the super-gorgeous Bianca Filoteo to shake off my shyness. I will practice not blinking my sensitive eyes so much when the conversation is exciting. I will learn to project my ambition in happier ways.

Do you know that I write my inspiration and all my stories in English just to stretch myself? My mother tongue often would grant me more artistic arabesques. In speaking live here, I’m overstretching my circus-equilibrium of language to its “current.” (Hello to Danielle’s favorite word of the season!)

So, do you like it?

Do you like my curious questions?
Would you like more interviews?
I would love to bring more people-marvels
to my space for inspiration:
Authentic souls with bold opinions.

Please leave your thoughts below.
I receive them like beloved guests at my own personal party.

HOT RHAPSODY.

3 things inspiring my summer.

They say summer time is the element of fire and the living is easy. Inspiration is the expression of fire. When I am inspired I dance in the joy of life. Impressions on my soul that set me on fire nurture and support my life force. Fire adds the lost fragment to the whole, making natural sense. After all, fire is the element nearest to God.

1. Firehead

My younger sister put a cuckoos’ egg into my nest when she gave me the new André Heller biography. Heller was my hero when I was 16. He is a modern genius, the master of fantasy. I learned his poems-turned-chansons by heart. His pop collages of words dared my mind to fly high. His is a life’s journey from cynicism to climbing into the minds of the establishment, disturbing it with expressionism until life approves.

This book rekindled long-forgotten fires in my soul’s garden.

Heller was one of the founders of CIRCUS RONCALLI, a revolutionary world’s circus started in Germany. Later the creators of Cirque du Soleil would draw their inspiration from here.

The FIRETHEATRES in Lisbon, Berlin and New York; LUNA LUNA, an amusement park where artists like Keith Hering and Roy Lichtenstein created wondrous booths that dazzled peoples’ inner children; a SEA OF LIGHTS planted against cruise missiles; the CRYSTAL PALACE in Innsbruck, Austria: these are just some babies of André Heller’s life as an creative expressionist and spiritual searcher.

My mind is infected: How can we change the world with art? I am shaking new imaginings from heaven down to earth. Inklings. Wisdom.

The book (right now only available in German, with hopes for future translations)


Inspired by my beloved sister’s gift for my birthday.

2. Kundalini Yoga
with Maya Fiennes

A journey through the chakras

This practice pulls the life force back into my chakras, lets me dance in joy in yoga poses. It is a revitalizing inspiration for my tired body to drink in the energy, pouring in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple. It is a flow with sacred music to wake up the soul and mantras to calm the jumping mind. Magic glowing guaranteed afterward.

I started with the heart and climbed my chakras up and down.




Courage, Creativity, Willpower, Love, Truth, Wisdom and Bliss.

Available on Amazon or YouTube.
Also inspired by my beloved sister’s gift for my birthday.

3. Transformational speaking with Gail Larsen

Inspired by Holy Spirit. Fire talks. *****

You say you are a speaker, messenger, idea maker, trailblazer, leader? Do not miss this. Gail Larsen and her workshop team changed my life.

Inspired by Danielle LaPorte and my dear friend Runa Bouius.

Now I want to hear from you.
Let yourself give in to the summer’s burning embers and become infected too. Around which sacred fires are you dancing in the joy of life? Please, tell me.

I WANT TO INVESTIGATE YOUR SACRED DREAM

The hour of change has come; it strikes us like a hurricane. In this field of wave-like force we rise.

Nothing is impossible if we conjure it up with our prayers: our blue heavenly strategy, our fantasy, our creative expressions, our genius, our personal Hollywood movies, our poem, song or speech are each waiting for incarnation through our own desires.

If you miss this wave, it evades because you do not believe in it hard enough.

We are spiritual beings searching for human expression and experience on this planet, not humans searching for spiritual experience. We are here to find out about ourselves.

Failure is not a real option.
We simply seek recollection of our soul’s roots.
Not a discovery, but a return to the artistic essential of our Self.

To design a response wherein God’s creation is reflected.

I want to cultivate my life like a garden that teaches me devotion and humility.

Never to be “like” anything.
Always to be me.

It does not have to be easy.
It just has to happen.

Spirituality is art.

I am writing this from Santa Fe, where I’m honored to be with Gail Larsen and other amazing souls on our transformational speech voyage. I am on my adventure-journey of irritation and leaving the places to which I do not belong. I will be brave. I want to find the future that really belongs to me.

With wild love,
Your #cosmicnomad

SHIP IT.

How to get over
the reasons not to deliver.

There is no way to win the big pot other than to decide to deliver. Your new career, launching your web site, rebranding your company, recycling of your logo because none perfectly fits, starting the new TOP SECRET project, going for an idea so fucking big you shiver when you think about it, exporting your workshop to your audience, creating profound life changes, doing more yoga or finally writing your biography and making a beautiful book plan.

We all have a dream.
You will never know if yours can be real until you deliver.

There will never be a guarantee of success or failure. In order to express your genius that lives within (believe me we all have it), we must make choices. Listen, the inner saboteur is a magician. You may have thousands of reasons for not shipping.

Shall I share a few of mine? Of course I do not know enough. I never see clearly enough. My analysis paralysis has a fiesta; shopping is always better than disciplined writing; I could always use a magic potion. I could do better and care more. And often I do not feel like it today. I do, I do, I do. YES.

Purposefulness and perseverance are not natural. They are a victory over my inner fights to earn sovereignty over my shining light. They are proof that I can shift away from the sucking emotions.

I use my weapons to turn big ideas into movements. They are no secret, but really effective.

14 weapons to fight not-shipping.
Because there will never be an absolute moment.

  1. Whatever you ship, it will change the world. Know this in your cells. After shipping, the world you knew will never be the same.
  2. You will change when you ship. That is the art of the deal.
  3. Name the project. What is it about? How does it smell, what color does it have? What sound of music is in the air?
  4. When will you ship it? Choose a delivery date and be held accountable.
  5. Drawing the line is frightening. It’s where our lizard brain freezes and we want to turn back to our comfort zone. Stay tight. Mark the days in the calendar before and after you ship. Be gentle with yourself these days, because as you are shipping, you are transforming.
  6. Crossing the line is your initiation. The line is empowering. Your ability to move it will polish your ability to make things shine.
  7. List all participants who are involved in the shipping. Encourage each other; remind one another that you will figure it out. Collectively align with a higher source.
  8. Make a list: what are you afraid of?
  9. Name the edges you want to walk. We can only deliver extremes; everything else is compromise. We want to matter. Yes, we do.
  10. Make inner contact with your customers. Pitch it perfectly and with love.
  11. Who can stop this project? Name them. (Believe me, this is powerful.)
  12. Who is your competition? Only great competitors will make us grow.
  13. List all details required to make it happen. Make it smart and over-detailed. Then start the flow effortlessly. Let the list of details flow into your subconscious. It’s a river that will reach the sea of fulfillment. It will happen. You will ship. Believe me. Because you can. Nothing more. Nothing less.
  14. Ignore all worries that what you ship is not good enough. Fight that inner perfectionist. Trust that it is good enough. The feeling of scarcity is part of your inner genius strategy to deliver great goods.

And here is my little secret; it’s just for you and me, so please do not tell anybody.

I am so tired of my own procrastination putting endless projects between me and my #beautifulbookplan for Jesus The Book & series.

My social engagements will suffer, I know. But it feels good to be back on the track of fire. I will keep what I have promised to myself. I will keep what I have promised.

Will you share your secret with me too? Where are you?

SENSING A NEW FUTURE TREND.

Mak’IN trails. Impressions of a festival of light.

Put new forms of spirituality in everyday life.
Just the beauty of light.
A moment of silence,
Something that can surprise you on a small
day-to-day level,
And that can touch you and make you feel:
It’s nice to be alive.
– LI EDELKOORT

“You are the light. Take it into the wider world,” said Agni at the Lightfestival in the Chateau Amritabha. For the third time our team of eternal lovers of heaven and glitter had organized a fiesta for the luminescence.

This time it was different. Out of blue oceans and experience we created an event with blessings, sacred fires, music and joy. Our motto: divine love, nothing less.

Coming back to the most pure, we put our focus on our essence and on what really connects us: the power of our hearts. We recognize ourselves in the light of one another. We put all sales and marketing wizard tools aside and decided that relationships are the new pink. This soul day is sales-free.

Aurora Impressions

The light festival in Chateau Amritabha is one-of-a-kind in my tradition of Agni (the fire; I believe in light and fire). The festival brings together lightcenter leaders from all over the globe, from Sydney to Russia. It is a concert; a blessing of those who master the light; holy fire ceremonies for Agni, Shiva and Shakti; an experience of light and joyful life and more, many more blessings. All in a natural temple, on a beautiful old vortex in France. Fires burn all night and early morning meditations weave their magic. You sip cocktails with your friends and kiss the stars. It’s an ecstatic celebration of love.

My favorite moments

1. blissful explosions

Blessing each and all of you with my love; that you may have strength to love all the people you meet in your earthly life, and that you may give God’s love. We can do it better, we all know!

2. meeting you under your skin

I love encounters with souls from all over the world. I learn joyful devotions from Taiwanese folks, powerful hope from Greek folks, all that is possible from American folks, deep dark fire from the soul of Russian folks, hot truth from German folks and savoir vivre and senseless joy of French folks. I believe in learning and inspiration coming from global openness. Who are you under this lovely skin, dear soul?

3. sacred fire rituals

“When the fire is gone and the transformation is done,” said a Pujari from Haidakahn, (Babaji’s ashram) who had come to tell about the ashram, “what will stay is pure joy of life!”
Om Agni Jay! Om Shakti jay! Om Shiva Jay!

4. God’s breath made visible

I could not resist flirting with drumming, chanting and reciting mantras inspired by all religions and shamanic texts on living in sacred conversation with the earth. No matter their origin, tradition or religion, and without engagement; just spontaneous gatherings. Many observers were infected by the joy.

5. expand your light in a crowd

Accept your boundaries and lightful no’s. Feel like a star in this endless Universe. Among other stars you shine and when you need to feel yourself, you feel your boundaries.

6. daily new encounters of joy

“I want to love. I want to be in a relationship of trust and freedom. Unbounded in unconditional love. Stay with me; I will support you on your path and face the same direction,” said the bride and my friend at her spiritual wedding, and she was passionately kissed by her husband.

It was just wonderful.

The days after

I am highly inspired to write about illuminations in the cages of human bodies. I eat love.

I want to create innovative books on spirituality.

I want to sponsor illuminated lifestyle analysis of the concepts, colors and ways time is spent inside our communities, because as we claim:
there is no creation without aligned knowledge of God, and without design, our heavenly light cannot exist.

In this way, I will closely-knit interpretations of our societal evolution and the signals of universal tastes to come, without forgetting the sexy money reality.

I want to create dynamic networks that illuminate the world with art and inspiration and good business.

I will take my light and bring it to a wider, wilder world.
Meet you there.

You are the light of the world.
I am the light of the world.
We are the light of the world.
Said so. It is so.

See you there in 2013.
