Hunt Down the Inner Enemies of your Successä
Train as a Shadow Huntress. Track down the Inner
Enemies of your Success and re-cast them as allies to your dream. This
system helps people understand how their defensive strategies and
sub-personalities are created, how they are governed by False Beliefs
unknown to them consciously, and how to free themselves from all those
patterns to assume their Personal Power.
As a shaman, Maria Mar is a Woman of Power. This means
that she has transformed her pain into power, her emotional wounds into her
Personal Medicine. She has trained for 14 intensive years in a full-time
path to reclaim Female Wisdom. She has reclaimed the power of art as a
ritual for individual and community transformation. Maria Mar walks
her talk. Each book, digital product, performance or program she creates
comes out of her own journey to freedom. She has worked, healed and
addressed thousands of women in the USA, South Africa, Mexico and other
countries.

ShamansDance Publishing and Productions, a Latina-owned company that
offers women personal growth through the arts.
