Hello, lovely and powerful you!
Â
I'm so delighted to be here, writing this to you.
Â
For many many years, I've been dreaming about creating a Marion Method Matermind (ever since my very first Marion Method Immersion in 2018!)
And yes, that's Matermind, without an 's', not Mastermind!
Â
THE IMPORTANCE OF WORDS AND NAMES
Â
Why do I have a big no to it being called a "Mastermind?
Â
Well, because core to The Marion Method is getting free/r from DDC conditioning, and the etymology of "Master" is: "late Old English mægester "a man having control or authority over a place; a teacher or tutor of children," from Latin magister (n.) "chief, head, director, teacher.""
Â
Over the years, "master" has meant: "man eminently or perfectly skilled in something;" "one who has power to control, use, or dispose (of something or some quality) at will;" "owner of a living creature" (a dog, a horse, also, in ancient contexts a slave); and the "male head of a household."
Â
This would clearly NOT be an apt name for a group of people deeply exploring The Marion Method!
Â
Particularly because one of the core elements of The Marion Method is the understanding that words are one of the key ways that conditioning is passed down and across (and the practice of choosing words that help us connect more with our true nature as Loving and Powerful Souls!)
Â
I'm choosing the word "Mater" instead, because Mater means "mother" in Latin, and has Proto-Indo-European roots that reach back from way before then.
Â
In my research, I also found that it relates to the first sounds that a baby makes, and indeed, my daughter made the sound "maaaaa" as she was being born.
Â
THE TIMING OF THIS MATERMIND
Â
For years, I've been wanting to focus on my Marion Method work, and yet from 2019 to the end of 2025, Life kept inviting me to focus on Aware Parenting - and the old podcast and the writing of all my Aware Parenting books!
Â
Yet from the beginning of this year, I've known that now is the time to be focussing on The Marion Method work again.
Â
I've been so enjoying exploring all the different offers so far this year - some that I had also been called to create for years, like the True Power Immersion.
I loved them all SO much!
Â
Through the process, I got really clear about what I would love to offer next, and I will be sharing about these four offers, including The Matermind.
Â
THE PROCESS OF CREATING THESE FOUR OFFERS
Â
I've found that when people who join my immersive spaces already deeply resonate with The Marion Method work, that with their gorgeous and deep sharings, combined with my responses and teachings, we create magic together.
Â
So, over the past weeks, I've been contemplating, and sending three questionnaires to those who were in MotherPower, Together, and collating the information about what they want, and also listening to what I want.
Â
As a result, clarity has come about exactly what I'm going to be offering for the rest of this year.
Â
This process in itself has been The Marion Method in practice.
Â
My:
Â
Listening to the callings. Offering the Immersions. Experimenting. Trusting what unfolded. The co-creation between the participants, Life, and my Soul.Â
Â
Everyone in MotherPower, Together shaping what emerged.Â
Â
Our listening to our yeses and noes. Me listening to their (your) yeses and noes.Â
Â
Getting free from the DDC in choosing the names for the Matermind (and the other three offerings). Getting free from the DDC and listening to my yeses and noes in coming up with the pricing structure.
Â
This has been living experience of the work itself: a conversation with Life and this Work, and my Soul, and the Souls of those who are drawn to this work.
Â
I've also received messages from dreams, and explored each choice with my own mentor, Victoria.
Â
So, this process began years ago, even though the calls themselves won't be starting until next week.
Â
In reading this, I invite you to be a part of this process, whatever you choose, including if you have full-body noes to joining every one of them!
Â
MY INVITATION TO YOU
Â
Whenever it was that you first came to my work - whether very recently, or many years ago, I invite you to see these next steps again as part of our journey together, including if you don't feel called to join any of these offers, and have a no to all of them them.
Â
As you read about each of the four offers, I invite you to listen in to yourself.
So that in your reading, you are practicing this work.
Â
I invite you to listen in to, and notice:
Â
Do you feel a drawing towards, or a turning away from, these offers?
Â
Do you feel desire, or wanting, or interest, or curiosity, or open spaciousness, or excitement?
Â
What are you thinking?
Â
Do you notice shoulds, or self-coercion in words like have to, or must, or thoughts of missing out?
Â
Do you sense an absence of interest, whether in a neutrality or a pushing away?
Â
If your Inner Loving Mother was right there beside you, what might you say to her, and how might she respond?
Â
Do you notice desire and fear, wanting and willingness, or a clear no, or something else?
Â
What would you choose if you completely trusted your feelings, wants, yeses and noes, and timing?
Â
And if you're taking into account the price/s, what thoughts, feelings, and younger parts arise, and what do they need?
Â
What would you most love to hear from me as you're reading this?
Â
I'm here to support you being more deeply connected to yourself.
Â
I welcome your yeses and your noes, and your questions.
Â
I trust your own unique path and your own timing.
Â
For the Compasses offer, which is specifically about The Marion Method practices and processes, you are already listening in to your own compass in terms of making this decision. Whatever you decide, you are already practicing it!
Â
ABOUT THE PRICING
Â
I've been thinking about the pricings of my offerings for a long time (and my long-form musing on money document is also coming soon).
Â
The pricing process of these four offers has also been an embodiment of the work.
Â
Our relationship with money is often a place where DDC conditioning runs deepest, and getting freer from it is part of the larger cultural work.
Â
I'm so willing for this process of you listening to your yeses and noes to these offers and the prices to be part of your own process of getting more free from the DDC, as it has been part of mine.
Â
There are so many factors involved in choosing an amount for an offer, and I've been exploring deeply, thinking, feeling, enquiring, and noticing where my own yeses and noes are: what I want, what I would love, what I want to contribute, what I am willing for, and where younger parts emerge.
Â
In three of the four offers, I have included a sliding scale and a discount offer, doing what I can within the DDC to support you to deeply listen in to your willingness and your financial situation.
Â
Knowing that we are all living within structures which require money, I am bringing in as much love, listening, inclusion (all Love elements) and choice and freedom (Will qualities) into this process.
Â
Choices in relation to money can help us connect with all kinds of feelings and thoughts, and I'm sending you love if you experience painful thoughts or feelings in this process.
Â
If you do choose to join any of the sliding scale offers, I'll be inviting you to choose an amount that is a reflection of your willingness, with deep clarity and compassion for your own financial experience right now.
Â
I'll be sharing more about that whole process in the more detailed emails and posts that will come over the next few days.
Â
In this first email, I'm sending you the bones of the offerings.
Â
Over the next few days, I will send more detailed information, along with application forms for those of you who want to join.
