Hi Sweet Love!
I’m Mariana
When I think of myself, who I am, and what I do, I often simplify it to:
I’m just a woman who sees Life where others don’t and teach people to do the same.
I have a deep relationship with Nature, and it’s from walking this path through the forest of Life that I finally found my sense of belonging.
As a woman who was raised in Hong Kong by my Venezuelan mother and American father, feeling like I belong has not been an easy task. It’s something I’ve struggled with throughout my life.
The only way knew to deal with it was to change myself to fit in based on my current location. It really wasn’t that great of a solution, and left me with questions that you might relate to:
Where am I from?
Why am I here?
Is there any place that I can belong?
Enter my partner-in-crime, Tea… yes, that’s right, the plant Tea.
Like the kind you probably already drink out of a mug.
I’ve loved this plant since my childhood days in Hong Kong and in my 20s she came back into my life full force, but this time not in a mug…rather in a deeply impactful ritual. Through my personal practice of Tea ceremony I started to remember our Earth Mother, and my role here on this planet as a Steward & Guardian.
I realized that the place I belong is right here,
on the Earth.
It’s the one connection that can never be severed and it’s the one relationship that has given my life purpose & meaning.
Before finding a deeply ingrained sense of belonging to this Earth, I felt I belonged nowhere.
Now, I feel the freedom to be who I really am every single day.
In my work, I’m devoted to helping other Humans remember their connection, too. If there’s one thing I can say to you it’s this:
All of you is welcome here.
Because who You are is Nature,
and there is nothing in Nature
that doesn’t belong.
When we remember this essential truth, we remember that we are already connected to the pulse of life.
We remember our love for the Earth.
We remember our love for ourselves.
And we can finally step into our role as guardians of the Earth.
my work
My work is to help you see this world as alive, to help you remember that you are a guardian of the Earth and to teach you how to reclaim that purpose in your life.
I serve Tea ceremonies, teach Tea ritual, and help women find meaning in their lives by reconnecting them with Nature. My teachings are alive, which means they ebb and flow with the seasons. Nothing is pre-recorded or taught twice. I’m a big believer in allowing what wants to be now, to be now.
My work is rooted in Earth-based teachings and ritual practices. We focus not just on the Human world, but how we are a part of a much greater web that includes all Life.
I believe every being has
the right to be.
We are all interrelated and I celebrate my connections and dependence on the Whole. I believe that we are all here to be Stewards & Guardians of the Earth.
I teach women how to walk gently on the Earth, to be proud to be who they are, and to treat themselves and others with the respect and compassion Life deserves.
