What Happens After a Dance is Over
Finally it is out! This is the missing unpublished episode of the journey after the moon dance ... this episode closes season 1. When Marian and Mya hit record on this season of their lives, from the fall of 2023 to winter of 2024, they had no idea it would tell the story of a journey to dance. There is a reason that this episode took 2 years to publish (yup, you read correctly). Both Mya and Marian have been busy expanding their reach to the communities they serve. Marian opened up Llena de Vida (https://www.instagram.com/llena_de_vida_gemstones/), a crystal shop that is now a recognized community hub and elevated crystal shopping experience in her region in Costa Rica. Mya finished building La Maison Ralia (https://raliarealty.com), a city-retreat centre in Montreal where a growing community of heart-centred entrepreneurs gather. It has been a busy 2 years. Marian is entering her 8th year of the dance, the year she is anointed a grandmother. Mya is entering her 4th year of the dance, the year she completes the inner journey. We hope you come visit us in Costa Rica and Montreal soon or reach out to us to connect!

Welcome to Episode #5.

Today, you will hear Mya’s story of “leaning in” from an evolved perspective. This is not about women bulldozing men out of the way anymore, but about creating different structures. Marian and I are in this creation process and we have come up with two words that are guiding what we are doing: Wealth (and more than material wealth) & Wellness (in health, community, and environment). This episode is about getting to know our female perspectives on a deeper level. This will include some of our triggers and past triggers that we are alchemizing authentically in real time.

The Feminine Fire That Unites Us
Welcome back! This is officially Episode #4. Today, Marian started the pre-episode fun for us by giving me a full training in lighting and holding ceremony with the sacred feminine fire. We are talking about a REAL fire, in a fire holder called a Sahumador. Marian has been highly initiated in the practice of lighting the Sahumador and she has been guiding Mya to create her own practice. If you didn’t know already, Mya is on a journey this year with Marian as her guide. An initiation in the ways of the divine feminine. We love sharing the process of this initiation WITH you and we encourage you to reach out with any questions about creating your own sacred feminine practices. Here are some link-outs we promised we would share from this podcast.

In this conversation Mya reveals the details of her first time ingesting a psilocybin rich mushroom harvested from Costa Rican. Her experience was not what she had expected and it is also very revealing as to the ideas we have about psychedelics in general. Marian teases out much of the fun that happened and how it ties into the greater picture of what Mya and Marian are building together for their guests who travel to beautiful Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

The Moon Dance
Welcome back! Last month we shared our story in Episode #1. We had such a fun time that we are back again 1 month later with another episode. This is officially Episode #2.

The First Dance
Welcome to our podcast! When we met for a month of Costa Rican beachside, sunrise yoga lessons during an escape from the pandemic lockdowns of Canada little did we know we were meeting a soul sister. Marian and Mya has become synonymous with deep conversations, high vibe moments, fitness, wellness and love. Every time we would come together our small circles would expand and fill up with all manners of expansion. Together we are so much more than the sum of our individual selves, so we thought, what the hey, let's share our combined selves with the world. Let's record our conversations. This is episode #1. This is our story. While we both have epic individual stories, it is our story of meeting that we love the most. If you think about it, the odds of us meeting and forming such a deep and wonderful connection were not in our favour. Mya, a Canadian mother of two. Marian, a Costa Rican mother of one. Both forging their unique paths. Our meeting and synching up in business and life is truly the universe at play, giving us permission to play. We invite you to come and bathe in the frequency of PLAY. That is our signature. We dance, we light up our divine feminine fires, and we play! Fave quote from this episode (from Marian): "An alter in a sacred space is like creating a hole in the aura of the earth for light to come through, through the power of our intention."
