Let Loose Your Desires
& Create Your Intentional Reinvention

Six months of masterminding & mentorship with LiYana Silver

moon3

Who you will become in this next chapter of your life
and how you will shape your corner of the world
depends on you being grounded in your Feminine Genius
— a state of skill, self-confidence, self-trust, and sensual aliveness.

Give me six months of masterminding — well, mistress-minding! — and I’ll guide you there:

You.

Shameless. Authentic. Radiant.

Grounded in your power.

Guided by intrinsic self-worth.

Stripping away what no longer fits you.

Getting un-stuck.

Enjoying the delicious divinity of your body.

Held by a small group of sisters, deeply committed to your unfurling.

Blazing remarkable trails into your life and work.

Living the most awake, alive, aligned version of yourself.

Becoming the woman you’re meant to be.

However, when it comes to your Reinvention,
you can’t just slap on a fresh coat of paint and hope for a “new you.”

If you aren’t intentional as you reinvent yourself and your life,
you’ll do so based on your past, self-limiting beliefs.
Based on what your logical mind or other people
or our very confused culture THINK you should do and be.

And then, instead of a Reinvention, you’ll have a re-enactment
— of all the same shit (with a fresh coat of paint on it).

But not if I have anything to say about it.

Because you deserve so much more.

Revise Your Self-Limiting Beliefs

Month 1 - 6

Let’s say, when you were little, you could sense how overwhelmed and distracted your family was. You figured out that if you were “good,” and didn’t have any needs, didn’t speak up, didn’t take up much space, and weren’t a “burden,” then maybe they’d see you, love you, and cherish you.

So you developed the belief that
being needless and voiceless
is the way to feel lovable.

Or let’s say, when you were little, you sensed your parents’ disappointment at your birth — “not another girl, we SO hoped for a boy.” You figured out if you worked twice as hard as the guys and gave twice as much, you might be able to prove how smart and acceptable you really are.

So you developed the belief
that
 overworking, over-giving,
and over-functioning is the way
to feel valuable.

Or let’s say, when you were little, your caregivers were outright abusive and dangerous. You learned to scan your environment for possible threats and be ready to leave your body at a moment’s notice.

So you developed the belief that
anxiety and hyper-vigilance
are the way to feel safe
.

Totally raw deals that leave you with painful beliefs about yourself, your body, your worth, about love, and about life, and that put limits on your true Self.

Self-limiting beliefs are the birthplace of all the shit that we are all SO ready to be done with:

Second-guessing. Perfectionism. People-pleasing. Self-Criticism. Self-Doubt. Co-dependence. Over-functioning. Workaholism. Putting everyone’s needs above our own. Not speaking up. Constantly proving ourselves. Never-enough-ness. Fear of intimacy. Fear of abandonment. Fear of being smothered. Suppressing certain emotions. Losing ourselves in relationships. Never rocking the boat.

But all of this is completely revisable.

This is the heart of our work.

Because guess what? You GET to stop efforting to hold everything in place. You GET to live without the constant thrum of anxiety. You GET to love with your heart open, your body confident, and your words coming out strong, yet soft.

You GET to know yourself as smart and valuable
and 
lovable and seen
and 
special and enough
and 
whole and safe
and 
joyful and magnificent,
as natural as breathing.

“The love I have for myself now is priceless.

“My entire life I struggled to truly love myself. My inner voices were pretty cruel, I was jealous, afraid of what others thought of me, and afraid of being alone. I was unsure how to face my many limiting patterns and conditioned beliefs. 

LiYana is a genius in the realm of reinvention

I am now diligent about my self-care — a fierce, devotional, sacred form of self-love. I’m aware of my strengths, I live with intention, and I have my inner wisdom to guide me. My life is not perfect, and yet I feel equipped to handle any great challenges that come my way.

Own Your Sexual Power

Month 2

We can all feel in our bodies the connection between our sexuality and our power, between our sexuality and our fire,  between our sexuality and our intuition — even if our minds might freak out a little at the thought.

The energy of your sexuality
(and sensuality)
is the energy of vitality.
Creativity. Inspiration. Knowing.
Raw power.

And what woman hasn’t had her sexuality silenced? Or shamed? Exploited? Violated? Feared?

But when you own it, when you reclaim what was taken from you, you tap into the wildly-loving power that fuels all of life.

And then comes your confidence. Your radiance. Your Womanhood.

And then, there you go,
letting your Holy Hunger lead you.

“I now know myself to be a beautiful, sexy goddess at any size.”

“I came into this program thinking small and feeling small, yet also feeling like I was 'too much.' My body felt like a burden or an ugly hunk of clay. I had no idea of how to revive and feed my creative fire.

It was a huge financial stretch for me to invest in this program.

But it has connected me to my power, joy, and deep desires — and has helped me recover from alcoholism, an eating disorder, depression, and panic — so it has been worth every penny, many times over.

Trust the Oracle Between Your Thighs

Do you stay or leave the relationship? Quit your job and strike out solo? Go on that second date? Eat vegan, macro, raw, or paleo? Homebirth or hospital? Stop talking to your toxic parent?

As women, we’ve been trained to override our bodies and our feelings and our inner authority and to let other people inform us on what is right for us. We’ve been Olympic-level trained at this.

But the truth is, you KNOW. Your Inner Authority is intact. It’s factory-installed. It works just fine, even if right now it feels elusive or lost, like some vestigial tail.

The truth is, you’ve got a compass that’s always pointing you in the direction of Your True North.

This compass is located in your sexual, sensual, creative center.

In our months together, you will reunite with your inner compass — which I call the Oracle Between Your Thighs — learn its language and build a deep mutual trust.

Why Oracle? Well, when faced with life’s hardest, biggest choices, folks in the olden days used to head to the cave or the mountaintop to consult with the Oracle, who was considered to have the ear of — and be the mouthpiece for — the Divine. Although time has marched on, we are still taught that to get through to god we gotta have a middleman, and that we can really only trust an authority or an expert, never our own darn selves. But it turns out, you’ve got your very own Oracle, right inside you.

Why Between Your Thighs? Well, just like your mind knows, and your heart knows, and your gut knows, so do your Lovely Bits know. Even though you don’t need science to tell you what you can confirm for yourself in your own body, researchers now recognize that there is a closed system of information-sharing and nervous-system-regulation that runs between your brain and your reproductive organs.

All very useful to help you make choices you know are right for you. Be true to yourself. And guide your life with the same intelligent energy that makes life.

This is the case no matter how many or few of your reproductive organs you have, whether you are cis-gendered or trans, whether or not you identify as female, feminine, a woman, womxn, womxxn, gender non-binary, or gender-fluid.

Divine guidance isn’t out there somewhere. It’s in you.

“I can now trust myself — I never used to feel this way!”

“In order to get everyone’s approval when I was growing up, I felt I had to cut off the parts of myself that didn’t fit. I used to binge eat and drink under stress, partly because those cut-off parts of me were starving.

Those parts of me are still there, but instead of being a wild, crazy force, sabotaging my career and life, they are amazing partners to me. And fabulous sources of energy.

The turning point for me was when I began to feel a super strong connection to my body and her wisdom. I got access to a source of inner wisdom I didn’t know I had, that I now trust 100%.

I’m a better mom, a better wife, a better communicator. I’ve gotten clear on what programs to offer next to my clients. I make great choices. I have a sense of deep satisfaction with my life. I have far more strength and grit than I realized. I believe that I am whole … and from this, everything that I want and need can flow.”

Navigate Your Dark

Divorce. Health crisis. Betrayal. Self-betrayal. Becoming a mother. Not becoming a mother. Post-partum. Menopause. Perimenopause. Moving homes. Moving countries. Pandemic. Racial Reckoning. Death. Depression. Grief. Loss. Rage.

When the Dark descends, we think that if things have fallen apart so radically, it must be because we did something wrong. Because we are wrong. Failures. Frauds. Wanted too much. Didn’t work hard enough. Have fallen from Divine favor.

But the truth is, even though the Dark can be impossibly painful and disorienting, it isn’t a punishment. It’s an invitation.

An invitation to feel your feelings and not die from them. To discover the messages inside your emotions. (What the highly-unpopular ones like anger, grief, and depression have to say to you will blow your socks off.)

An invitation to strip away the bullshit so you can hear what’s true. Change the things about your life that are no longer working. Become a better friend to yourself. Re-encounter the sacred. Grow into the next, splendid version of you.

Our culture at large, and even our well-meaning friends, families, and communities are often completely unaware of what is going on and what will actually help when we encounter the Dark.

Before you know how to navigate your Dark, you might feel like you are going crazy.

But after our six months together, you’ll know you are being reshaped.

The Dark is a holy place, even though it can hurt like hell.

“I can be compassionate toward myself — and like myself — even at my very worst.”

“The change of orientation that this work brings, has changed everything for me.  I’m not saying that as a hyperbole. I do a lot of different kinds of personal growth work, so it’s not always easy to figure out what is actually helping. But in this case, I can clearly see what has helped me change.

As I have been broke, overweight, depressed, even temporarily homeless, these principles and practices have helped me not just survive, but also to develop a loving relationship with myself and with life.

I never believed in a friendly universe and I do now. I no longer see myself as a project to fix. I have a greater connection with my clients. I don’t make myself smaller around other women.  I’m able to sit with my feelings instead of run from them or try to fix them right away. Ironically, I’m able to experience more pleasure and joy.

When I look at myself and my life through that lens, doing this work has been beyond worth it; it’s been priceless.”

Feel Confident in Your Body

When I was first healing from eating disorders and people-pleasing and workaholism, my then-boyfriend asked me one day what I thought of a company he was thinking to buy. “What does your body say?” he asked me.

So I gave it a whirl and asked.

Me: “Hey, body, whatcha think?”
My body: “NO.”

My then-boyfriend didn’t listen to me, though, because from looking at the profit-and-loss statements and double checking the data, it looked like a great opportunity.

He soon discovered, however, that the company had lied. If the sale had gone through, it would have been a disaster.

“Holy shit!” I thought. “My BODY is tapped into a form of intelligence that all the logic and pie charts and graphs in the world don’t have access to.”

Listen, our minds love us. They are just not supposed to LEAD us. Our mind has gone a bit cuckoo doing a job that’s above its pay-grade.

Logic can limit us. Planning can put potholes our path. Trying to be ON all the time can take us off course.

Over our months together, you’ll learn how to spend less time in your head and more time in your body.

You’ll cultivate a mind that’s more peaceful and friendly. Learn how to let your intuition lead and let your mind support. Feel at home in your skin. Stop with the shitty self-criticism. Be a good friend to yourself. Naturally ease up with numbing and addictive behaviors. Look in the mirror and like what you see. Rock the shit out of a new dress, a pair of old sweats, and everything in between. Know what you know, feel what you feel, and love what you love.

And you’ll learn to lead with that form of intelligence that all the logic and planning and willpower in the world don’t have access to.

“I now know nothing is — or ever was — wrong with me. I was just too busy to listen to my body.”

“I had gotten really good at running a highly profitable business, keeping on my son’s nap schedule, and making sure that the to-do list was handled, but my inability to enjoy and let go was causing fights and resentments with my husband. I used to second-guess myself about everything, fearing failure or embarrassment.

Now when I start to doubt myself, I use it as a sign to let me know I am on to something amazing, and I go for it! I understand more fully what it means to be — and do business as — a woman, to stay healthy amid my constantly-changing emotions, hormones, and cycles.

I discovered that I need spaciousness in my life in order to feel sexy. Our love-making has reached new heights and it feels so good to crave my husband. I now know that my marriage will last — where as before I was secretly worried.

LiYana helped me transform things that I have been working on in other growth and development programs for 10+ years. Everything I was searching for, I found within me.”

Create an Intentional Reinvention

Oh, those times when we feel “something’s wrong here” but we freeze. When our guts say “leave!” and we stay. When we vacate our bodies because the panic gets too big to handle. When we deflect a compliment by pointing out one of our flaws instead.

In order to deal with some shitty personal circumstances and some shitty cultural conditioning about being a woman, our freezing, staying, dissociating, or demurring became ways to survive. And thank goodness.

However, along with that, we’ve learned how to do some serious by-passing.

By-passing of our Feminine Genius. Our intuition. Our bodies. Our feelings. Our desires. Our soul. Our need to rest and to retreat. Our need to run our greatness like a racehorse.

And so, the time has come to learn some skills that work better than by-passing. Skills that are honed in the forge of the Feminine.

The Feminine flexes her muscles through your body. Your gut instincts. Your intuition. Your ability to ask for and receive help. Owning your wild sweet sexy. Your fierce longing. Your wholeness and happiness. Your HELL NO and your HELL YES.

You don’t need a new you. The true you works just fine, thank you very much. Let’s give her the steering wheel.

I know that steering your life from the wisdom of your body and the genius of the Feminine is a radical proposition. Ra-di-cal!! There are few people or places in the world that think this is a good, safe, or serious idea. But sister, they are blinded by a world built by and built for the Masculine.

But I know, and you will soon come to know, beyond a doubt, that there is simply no better way to help you become who you are aching to become and do what is yours to do this lifetime.

The Feminine will be your wing-woman for your intentional Reinvention.

“After I completed this experience with LiYana, I didn’t even recognize myself.

“Before I landed in LiYana’s loving presence and mentorship, I was disconnected from my body, was healing from a difficult past, and had been in quite a long dark night of the soul.

The container of the program was exquisite. LiYana is the real deal and curated the experience to touch the parts of me that needed love the most. I learned to trust my intuition, feel more safe in my body, feel the presence of the nourishing feminine, and feel a profound hope in my heart that my life would be filled with love again.

I learned to share my deeper self with other women in a more meaningful way than the social norms of competition and comparison. I made life long friends and am deeply grateful.

My capacity to experience pleasure, connection, love, and goodness in my life has increased a thousandfold, and continues to increase.

There is no way to put a price on healing the wounded feminine within the heart, soul, mind, and body of a woman. I would do this program over again double.”

More Stories of Reinvention

TulasiAdeva

“Simply saying YES to myself (rather than everyone else) — was the turning point.”

Investing in this program was a vitalizing love letter to self and soul. It was both reminder and embodied remembrance that I am worth it, I am important, and I matter.

Before this program, I wasn’t trusting myself. Old doubts and fears were rearing their head and paralyzing me in key moments. I was getting overwhelmed to the point of shut-down. Personally and professionally, I felt alone, isolated, tentative, and that I needed to do it all myself.

The power of simply saying YES to myself (rather than everyone else) was a game changer. Saying yes I am worth it, yes I am ready to experience and create deep lasting change in my life — that YES was the turning point.

The negative self destructive loops have turned way down. I don’t feel desperate, frantic, or like I’ll never reach my goals & desires. I feel solid. Centered in myself and my unique soul purpose. I feel clear about my own definition of success. And I trust myself to get there. I know that the work I am committed to, matters. I know my presence makes a difference.

Investing in myself in this way raised the bar. I recognize myself again, I know my gifts, and I feel a sense of worthiness deep in my bones.

Those of us who teach also need to be held strongly as we do our big work and dive deeper into who we are becoming. With LiYana and this diverse group she gathered, I was strongly held, fiercely encouraged, and unconditionally supported as I walked through the fire and reemerged with wings.

I know now that I not only have the capacity to fly, but I am destined to.

“I was a feminine leader who forgot to nurture myself.”

My first turning point was actually following my inner desire to do this program. And putting myself first for a change.

I came in to the mentorship all the way from my home base in Australia. I knew because of the work I do with women I needed that too for my self. I got over the guilt in the amount I invest in my self-growth along time ago. The money always appears when I step up into that.

I was feeling over-worked and exhausted emotionally. My work was fulfilling but I had been just doing and doing and doing all the time.

I was functioning well on the outside but on the inside I felt lots of inner turmoil. My soul felt tired, and my rocky marriage was really affecting my happiness. I just felt absolutely drained. My boundaries were not that great for those closest to me, expectations from others seeking my support on so many levels, barely leaving anything left for me.

My main belief — that I have to do all of this on my own — shifted, which meant I could stop re-enacting it over and over again. I now know that people are honored to help me on my mission. In fact, I can not do this without them and receiving their help lights us both up. Other people are here to celebrate me, and I them.

I now know that I am here to make big change in the world, by example. I stopped micromanaging my team, and they are happier and healthier as a result.

I now make strong feminine decisions from my Oracle. I found the courage to “uncouple” with my husband of 17 years. This was the biggest decision I had to make trying while keeping the soul of my family intact.

The container of community and sisterhood in which we were all held, continually got me unstuck. All led by this woman, LiYana, who is so real and authentic, who shows us her humaness while being our fearless feminine leader. To me she reflects back to me my inner strengths and qualities.

I love being in her presence. I consider her wisdom rare. And myself lucky to learn from her.

“I feel like a million bucks, so the ROI (return on investment) was 1,000%!”

 

I came in to this mentorship so lonely, frustrated, and feeling like my life had no meaning. I had a really well-paid sales job which I “phoned in” most days. With every bite I took and every mile I ran I had a punishing relationship to my body.

I desperately wanted to know what I am here on earth to contribute and yet I felt like I didn’t understand my passions, or even my likes. I was looking for a map to my Purpose, my Calling. I wanted a list of steps to take and an order in which to take them. Stat.

Quite honestly, I spent a good amount of time in the program feeling stuck — and frankly pissed about it. In the middle of one of our retreats, I was hit with the huge realization that my perfectionism was acting against me. It was killing every idea I would come up with or attempt I would try to make, because I felt if it wasn’t perfect, how could I go with it or trust it?

I realized that my “purpose” is my happiness and my life is mine for the taking, imperfections and all. I so wanted to leave my footprint, but I see now that my very desire for a map wasn’t allowing me to take even one step.

Within months of completing the mentorship program, I decided to leave my job and San Francisco to start my life. The next move was still uncertain, but I made the leap and gave up control.

And as soon as I did, I fell madly in love with an amazing man. I began teaching dance fitness classes and traveling. I’m no longer with him, but the internal shifts that allowed me to meet him and let him in, are permanently within me.

So what are those internal shifts? That the answers are in me. That my purpose isn’t hidden under a rock waiting for me to find it. That I have choice about how I feel, moment to moment. That I know whether I want something — or not.

I know how to be kind to myself. I look in the mirror and I like what and who I see. I feel like a million bucks, so the ROI (return on investment) was 1,000%!

“I used to feel that I had to control myself, my life, and everyone in it. I now trust my body and Life Itself — and what I get back is spaciousness, less suffering, and a whole lotta MAGIC!”

 

I sit here today, nearly a year after first meeting LiYana, and can say honestly for the first time that I love my life! How does it get any better than this? What else is possible?

In the time since entering in to the mentorship, I have been connected to my joyful purpose, have ended (or adjusted) relationships that no longer serve me, have fearlessly pursued that which makes my heart/mind/body come alive, enjoy (rather than endure) my workday, have had countless magical encounters, and have laughed and giggled more than the past 3 years combined!

When I found this program, I felt a disturbing level of numbness in my body and resultantly in my life. My life was fine and good, but felt incomplete, unsatisfied, itchy and impatient. Despite having the partner, the house, the community, the stuff, the career … I felt out of alignment with my own life and nothing that I was engaged in seemed to produce the shift I was calling for.

LiYana helped me to start listening to myself with such grace and love and ease that I had the room to do my work in a way that really honored me.

I also was so moved by the way in which LiYana shared herself, her life, her journey, her light and her dark so openly, as an offering to her fellow sisters on this path of opening.

I really got plugged into my JOY! My joy connects me in to the universal flow of this life — and hence, my purpose. The realization alone that fully taking care of me is actually a contribution to the world was worth the whole program!

I formed a new relationship with this super sweet, passionate, gentle, powerful body of mine. She is a powerful guide! SHE KNOWS! I must only listen, and listening I am.

I had a perfectly great life before. I now have an extraordinary life filled with light, love, laughter, adventure, passion, and desire. The investment in me and this sweet, gorgeous, yummy life of mine was SOOOOOOOOO worth it!

“Personal development at the speed of light. You can’t get this kind of feminine empowerment anywhere else.”

 

I just wanted to grow up. I’m 50. I wanted to feel like an adult — sure of myself, not living in fear of disapproval or dislike, able to make my own decisions and stand on my own two feet daily.

I have stopped second guessing myself based on someone else’s opinion. I no longer have the yucky, gut-churning feeling that I’m “in trouble” with others that would put me in a mental spin that was hard to get out of.

I’m more honest — like, really honest — about what’s going on with me. Both with myself and with others.

I belong. Everywhere. That’s really incredible for a woman who’s always felt like an outsider when in a group, even family most of the time.

I truly feel more adult. That poor little scared girl inside of me, who was seen and not heard, feels loved and nourished now. I no longer see myself as bothering people. Makes it easier to make phone calls, that’s for sure!

Being my own guidepost has given me a new level of self confidence. I am able to ask my Oracle when I need direction and stop long enough to truly listen.

I’d do the program again in a heartbeat. The amazing group of women, many of whom I am still in contact with regularly and I consider dear friends … the utterly transformational Belief Re-Patterning work … the special retreats … having access to LiYana’s business mind …

I like fast, efficient and easy. This program was that for me. The container created by LiYana and the group of WEE woman was, and is, nothing short of a miracle.

“I’m no longer obsessing how to heal my past wounds, find the perfect partner, or become a success. I am whole, I am happy, I am healed.”

 

I first encountered LiYana while I working as a health coach, starting a Masters of Acupuncture, raising my daughter as a single mother, and healing from a dark period in my past. I can not imagine being the woman and mother I am today without the miracle of LiYana’s masterful coaching helping me transform how I see and carry my life stories.

When I began the mentorship program, I was in a relationship with a man who I thought was my knight in shining armor. And yet, our great sex life was dwindling and I felt so physically terrible after every encounter that I thought I was beginning menopause. I had no time for play, felt un-aroused by life and that my essence as a juicy, playful woman was on hold.

And then I discovered he had been involved with someone else our whole relationship. What I thought was menopause and my own shortcomings I realized was my Oracle (my wise voice and internal guidance) telling me ‘Jen, there is no juice in this relationship.’ I chose to gracefully let the relationship go, realizing IT wasn’t juicy enough for me. For the first time in my life, I didn’t feel horrible when a relationship ended (and still don’t nearly a year later), because I came to know my body is wise, and I am tuned-in, sexy, and savvy.

I came in thinking I needed help and I needed to change. I left having been seen — powerfully seen — by a Magical group of women and LiYana’s beautiful leadership. What I thought were some of the most painful, harsh and unfair events of my childhood were actually the doorways to myself as a blessed, fully passionate and innocent woman.

Today I live and love like never ever before. Today I am woman. Period.

I roar, I cry, I laugh and I play. I stumble and feel crumbled in the dark and I am naked and beautiful under the sun. Money can not buy the life-transformation that I got from my investment in this program.

“My entire life I struggled to love myself on a deep level. LiYana’s program shifted this, as well as many other beliefs embedded in my psyche and body.”

 

My higher self knew that saying YES to The Embodiment Experience would be the kind of gift that keeps on giving.

When I entered her program, I was reeeally hard on myself all the time. My inner voices were pretty cruel, I was jealous, afraid of what others thought of me, and afraid of being alone. I was lacking confidence and unsure how to face and shift many limiting patterns and conditioned beliefs.

Nine months after the program, I felt renewed and whole and worthy. Little did I know that I would need and rely on LiYana’s teachings time and again..

When my partner and I tried unsuccessfully for 2 years to get pregnant, knowing there was a little being waiting to be born through us, I found myself on my knees in quiet desperation questioning everything. I forgot. I forgot how to connect to my inner knowing. I forgot my power. I forgot how to access my life force energy.

And then I came across my journal from my time in Woman: The Embodiment Experience, and I remembered. I prioritized my self care … and not just the ‘go take a bath’ kind-of self care. It was time for fierce, devotional, sacred self care that was necessary to make magic happen. A few months later I became pregnant naturally.

My pregnancy was joyous and smooth, birth was not. My son and I went through a traumatic birth experience and the 2.5 years following I found myself in a deep, depressed, dark night of the soul — the most challenging to date. I forgot again. Trauma had it’s way with my knowing, my connection to myself, my light.

During this time LiYana’s book, Feminine Genius, was published. It was the first book I read cover to cover since pregnancy. And once again, I remembered. Certainly not overnight — my journey has been raw and not linear — and yet, I’ve come to understand intimately the beautiful gems in the darkest parts of myself.

You see, this is where LiYana shines. THIS is her specialty. LiYana is not afraid of the dark night of the soul. She dives in with you — deep. She’s masterful in navigating you through the places where you feel trapped, ugly, wrong, crazy, enraged, or depressed. And she’s a genius in the realm of reinvention, a trusted soul sister who will be there by your side when you forget.

I’m back in the light for now. I currently love where I’m living with my partner and 3 year old son. I have to be diligent about my self care. My life is not perfect, and yet I feel equipped to handle any great challenges that come my way.

I am not the same person I was before I met LiYana. I’m aware of my strengths, I live with intention, and I have my inner wisdom to guide me.

If any of this resonates with you, trust that you’ve found this page for a reason. You’ve found LiYana for a reason.

Here’s how we do it

  • We’ll be combining the depth of individualized 1:1 work with the power that comes from gathering as a group.

  • We’ll be mixing the versatility of virtual meetings with the joy of getting together in person.

  • And we’ll be marrying paradigm-shifting ideas with transformative embodiment practices.

Six months of my seasoned expertise & loving attention

From June to November 2023, you’ve got me — body and soul — as your sherpa, doula, brow-mopper, and transformation concierge. However, if you join before May 2023, we can start even earlier with bonus private coaching.

June 7 – November 1, 2023

Five days in-person retreat

Asheville, North Carolina: For five days in the bosom of the sacred Blue Ridge mountains, we’ll wake up, turn on, and bow down to our Feminine Genius. We will Reclaim, Revive, Reinvent, and Reconsecrate the divine ground of our bodies, our lives, and ourselves.

Lunches and snacks included (non-inclusive of lodging, travel, transportation, or other meals).

Tuesday – Saturday, July 11 – 15, 2023 

A note about Covid-19: We will adhere to federal, state, and county guidelines for gathering safely, protecting not only our group but also the wider community. Since the landscape of this pandemic changes quickly, the specifics of all this will be laid out clearly a few weeks before each retreat. Should travel and/or gathering in groups become unsafe, we will adjust the retreats to happen virtually (and still sumptuously).

Seven 1:1 Belief Revision coaching sessions

20 years’ worth of my seasoned expertise, steadfast support, and breakthrough methodology poured into each session. By phone or video conference. One session every two-three weeks, spaced throughout our six months together. Up to 85 mins each. Belief by belief, we’ll walk you intentionally into your Reinvention.

We can start as early as May 2023

Eleven Feminine Embodiment masterclasses

All together as a group, we’ll meet online by video conference, for two weeks of each month, for up to 90 minutes.

I’ll lead you through perspectives and practices to ground you in your Feminine Genius. You will learn how to align with your cycles, prioritize your pleasure, dignify your desires, trust your inner authority, see your beauty, navigate your dark, revive your sensuality, and commune with the Oracle Between Your Thighs. We’ll have some guest luminaries, as well, who embody Feminine Genius in unique ways that inspire me greatly.

12pm Eastern time (USA) on Wednesdays, June 7, 14 & 21, July 5, August 2 & 9, September 6 & 13, October 4 & 11, and November 1, 2023

Four mistress-minding / group coaching sessions

All together as a group, we’ll meet online by video conference, for one week of each month (except our retreat month), for up to 90 minutes.

This is your time to gather ’round the fire; receive my focused attention, guidance, and strategy; and be held by the power of a group of women deeply invested in your becoming. Get the fertile support and momentum you need to set in motion your reinvention.

12pm Eastern time (USA) on Wednesdays, July 19, August 16, September 20, and October 18, 2023

One group of like-hearted sisters, held and led by me

This is a sister-circle of women, deeply invested in revivifying, revising, reinventing, and being in fierce, loving support of each other. As a group, we will connect in our online masterclasses, mistress-minding/group coaching sessions, our online Slack group forum, and at our retreats.

June – November 2023 (and beyond)

Our one-on-one work

Belief by belief, we’ll walk you triumphantly into your Reinvention.

liyana-silver-welcome-image

It is my honor to help you make sense of what has crumbled, and to transform family wounds, cultural conditioning, and inherited trauma. It is my joy to remind you of who you ARE, to guide you where you want to go (and beyond), to never let you settle for less than your magnificence, and to help facilitate your Reinvention.

We’ll meet on the phone or by video conference about twice a month, for our 85-minute deep dives. We’ll create an agenda of what beliefs you wish to revise, and use that as our road-map as we go. I’ll suggest some to add as well, that might be hiding out in your blind spots.

And, our work is always flexible enough to include the spontaneous and immediate stuff that comes up whenever it darn well feels like it. You’ll have (optional) “home play” in between sessions, so you can actualize in your external world the changes we are making in your internal world.

{If you are new to me, scroll down to the bottom where I’ll open my kimono and share all about me}.

We’ll make more lasting changes throughout our months together than is often experienced through years of therapy. Even though it is relatively swift, it’s not a make-over (remember, we’re not slapping a fresh coat of paint on you).

However, taken from the mouths of past participants, here are some of my favorite Before-and-Afters. (If they aren’t yet yours, they soon will be.)

Before: I can’t ask for what I need.
After: My desires are the answers to someone’s prayers.

Before: I don’t have a voice.
After: It’s safe to be seen. People can’t wait to hear what I have to say.

Before: I have to do it right.
After: I must do what’s right for me.

Before: I don’t know my purpose.
After: I know what is (and is not) mine to do this lifetime.

Before: I am qualified to lead even though I’m a woman.
After: I’m qualified to lead BECAUSE I’m a woman.

Before: Unless I hold it all in place, I’ll lose everything.
After: I trust life. I trust myself.

Before: I’m not good enough.
After: I am whole and I am home.

Before: I don’t belong.
After: These blazingly powerful women? I take my place in our circle.

Our Retreat

Let’s gather in the flesh, shall we?

Retreat-Asheville-1-300x206

We’ll meet in person and connect in sisterhood in the fertile bosom of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Asheville, North Carolina, a power-spot known to nourish and revitalize those who come and sit for a spell.

In the arms of the Great Mother Mountains and guided by my reminders, “It’s good to feel good” and “Your hunger is holy,” we will dive deep into the practices of Feminine Genius: pleasure, self-appreciation, self-trust, sensual aliveness, and claiming the delicious divinity of being in your body.

Screen-Shot-2022-03-04-at-4.15.54-PM-300x231

We’ll be moving, meditating, and mending. In the loving presence of the Feminine Divine, we’ll be doing practices, discussions, rituals, dancing (no experience required), inquiring, putting pen to paper and writing.

You’ll be making friends with your greatest doubts and fears — and your deepest desires. Learning how to love yourself even in rough times. Discovering how to decode the wisdom of your emotions. Refining your intuition. Getting a sex re-education. Finding your voice — and using it.

levi-guzman-zdSoe8za6Hs-unsplash-300x200

Any shyness around the other women will gently evaporate and you’ll feel like you’re in a group of sisters-from-another-mother.

Expect to feel clear-eyed, connected, juicy, confident, and lit-up as you head back into your life.

And in the cauldron of sisterhood, seal in and set into motion your intentional Reinvention.

Your Curriculum

Our virtual classes that guide & gound our 6 months

Just enough Zoom to connect us from wherever we are in the world.

Led by me, these online masterclasses are where we will first meet each other as a group and then conclude our journey together. We’ll dive into the foundational principles and practices of Feminine Genius that will guide us through our six months together, and that we will build upon at our retreat.

You’ll leave each class with a radical, fresh perspective on your body and your potential, as well as small practices to bring into your day-to-day. Join from anywhere on the globe, whether you are well-put-together or a big hot mess.

Plan on moving the mountains you need to move in order to be live on all the classes. (However, when life is life and you must miss a class, or when you wish to review, all classes will be recorded).

ChannelYourOracle

1. Channel Your Inner Oracle

Remember those “inner compass,” “divine guidance,” and “between your thighs” parts? Time to go there! You’ll learn the science and research that confirms the connection between your brain, your soul, and your (female) lovely bits. You’ll learn the unique language of your Oracle, so you can source your inner guidance. Know in your heart of hearts what you want and need. Separate fear (and anxiety, worry, and doubt) from intuition. Trust your gut (even when other people think you’re nuts). Develop clear boundaries. Feel connected to the Divine. And make choices that are right for you.

AlignWithFeminineCycles

2. Align With Your Feminine Cycles

Even though dominant culture tells us we are valuable the more we go-go-go, you’ll learn the power of ebb-and-flow. You’ll start by tracking your energy levels, thought-patterns, and emotions. So you can work with (rather than against) your ups and downs — for graceful time-management, organization, and self-care. Stop overriding your body. Heal your addiction to overworking and over-giving. Rest and rejuvenate without feeling guilty. Discover the best times to put the pedal to the metal. And live like you’ve got plenty of time.

See-Your-Beauty

3. See Your Beauty

We have been taught about our beauty from those who cannot see their own beauty, let alone the true beauty of a woman. The eyes with which we perceive ourselves have been conditioned to flaw-find with every glance in the mirror. But you have another set of eyes that are designed to see true beauty,yours and all of ours. These eyes gaze with reverence and delight. These eyes comprehend wholeness and worth. With some practice, seeing yourself and all of us this way becomes your new default. What you appreciate, appreciates.

NavigateYourDark

4. Navigate Your Dark

As I see it, one of the root causes of human suffering is that we do not know how to work with our emotions. This class will teach you how. You’ll learn why emotions show up in the first place and how to survive their strong storms. Discover the core messages inside tough feelings like anger, grief, anxiety, shame, and depression. So you can be kind to yourself and stay in your body when things get intense. So you can show up and speak up, even when things get difficult. So you can trust your feelings, trust yourself, and trust life.

DignifyYourDesires

5. Dignify Your Desires

Can you really trust the hungers of your wild, lustful body? The short answer is yes. The long answer is, welcome to this masterclass! Although you may have been trained to ignore your body, you’ll get clear about what you need. Although you may have been trained to see your desires as selfish, you’ll learn how they actually make things better for everyone. Although you may have been trained to see your desires as dangerous, you’ll learn how to distinguish a healthy desire from a toxic one. So you become clear about your next steps and able to seduce others along for the sweet ride.

NavigateYourDark

6. Prioritize Your Pleasure

Even though world may assure you your body is bad, the natural joy of your body knows that it is good to feel good. You’ll begin by learning the connection between pleasure and confidence, and between pleasure and productivity. You’ll research which actions and attitudes make your engine purr. So that you can feel confident in your body. More easily hear your intuition (stress is loud, yo!). Feel more creative and inspired. Practice the secrets of magnetism and charisma. Experience less suffering and more satis-freakin’-faction.

Our Group

The glue of this program is sisterhood

Our group is made up of a circle of women who will celebrate your light as well as your dark, gently reflect your blind spots, not bullshit you, be gentle and loving, and be deeply invested in your reinvention. As a group, we will connect in our online masterclasses, our online Slack group forum, and at our retreats.

Note: At times, your fellow tribes-women might seem so magnificent, accomplished, and wise that you might feel small and lame in comparison. We all experience this. It’s a left-over, stale AF gift from dominant culture that we will be tossing on the compost pile throughout our time together.  So that instead of shrinking, you’ll learn how to get yourself lit off of another woman’s brilliance.

Oh, and another note: If you are feeling a draw to this program but are doubting if you are “cool enough” to be let into this “cool club” of “cool women,” you are. You are plenty cool.

I already know you are magnificent, accomplished, and wise even if you may be tempted at times to downplay and doubt yourself. Your desire to be a part of this program means you belong in this group. We can’t wait to have you.

“I am bonded to this group of women through immense trust and understanding. They are now an extension of family, in my life forever.”

“For years I have shied away from female friendships because I didn’t know how to trust or be supported by other women. Well, now I know.

At an early age I had learned that the feminine parts of myself were weak and to be considered strong and worthy I needed to be more like a man. Now I know what it feels like to derive my strength from my feminine power and. I. Love. It. Watch out world!

LiYana has a way of playfully teasing out our hidden parts that were too scared to show up before. She is a fu*king rock star! And I do not say that lightly.”

Er, application?

Yep. Here’s why: This program asks both you and me to make a significant investment of time, energy, love, focus, and funds.

The application process allows both you and I to see if we are a great fit, so we can both be a clear HELL YES.

The application process will look something like this:

  1. First, you’ll answer some questions about your goals, desires, challenges, and roadblocks, which should take you about 20-30 minutes. They’ll reach me through my secure server and I will hold them with respect and 100% confidentiality.
  2. I’ll then be in touch to set up a time to talk by phone or video conference, and we will dive into it all in greater detail.
  3. When we talk, I’ll outline how this program will meet — and surpass — all you are wanting. You’ll get a felt sense for me and how I work. We’ll walk through the cost of the program including bonuses, discounts, and payment plans. We’ll get any last questions answered. And we’ll both leave with a clear “not a fit” or “hell, yes!”

Partial scholarships may be available. Women of Color to the front of the line. Let me know if this is you.

Applying in no way binds you to DO this mentorship program. Even if you don’t end up joining us, expect this process to be enlivening and enlightening.

This is a Reinvention sourced from being in your Body, trusting your Inner Authority, riding the power of your Desires, and letting your Feminine Genius lead.

No more bypassing our knowing. Overriding our bodies. Stuffing down our feelings. Thinking we’re crazy. Exhausting ourselves. Dimming our light.

Let’s set your reinvention in motion!

So you can take up space. Feel comfortable in your skin. Trust yourself, your soul, and your sex. Say what you have to say. Know your value. Live like you’ve got enough and are enough.

So you can live like the blazingly powerful woman you are meant to be.

Meant To Be WON’T make you (or your life) perfect or pain-free.

(You’ll get no magic pills, insta-makeovers, or rags to riches false promises here.
Another way to describe the quest for perfect-and-pain-free is shackles-and-a-straightjacket.)

Meant To Be WILL make it impossible for you to feel truly lost, betray yourself, become blinded by perfectionism, or fully dim down your light, ever again.

This will be a Coming Home.
And Becoming Home.

Welcome.

What about me?

Maybe you and I have known each other for years. Maybe this is the first you’ve heard of me and you’re curious. Or somewhere in between.

I’m LiYana. I help move people through the hardest shit of their lives and radically reinvent themselves, so they are clear who they are now, what they want now, and what they’re bringing into the world now.

I'm the author of Feminine Genus ...

add qualifications + background.

And I didnt' just learn about itin theory. I klived through it.

Here’s some more about me … my dark nights, my bright heart, and my own Reinventions.

At 40-something years into my life, things were pretty peachy. Great relationship of over a decade, good health, lovely new baby, expansion in my business, beautiful community and friends.

And then one day in the middle of a bleak winter, the color drained out of my life.

All my life-long techniques for joy and positivity and motivation, stopped working. I had panic attacks by day and insomnia by night. I would get caught for days at a time in storms of anger, grief, depression.

I had crappy times before, of course, but this was different. My husband, friends, and community had little idea how to help and backed slowly away from me. Healer after healer plied me with expensive regimes and eventually threw their hands up as well. Everything I held sacred, caught fire and burned.

This lasted for a year. And then two. Of excruciating hell.

As I flailed about, I found a life-raft here, some driftwood there. I learned to re-find myself in an emotional storm. I found that each feeling had a startling message for me. I looked lucidly at the places I had betrayed myself, had muted myself, and had let myself run dry.

Eventually (long, long after the point which I thought I was sure I couldn’t take one more step), I emerged.

I emerged with an astonishing appreciation for — and an uncanny ability to guide a fellow human through — the brutal, loving process that is a Dark Night of the Soul and a Reinvention.

I emerged with a total and complete cease-fire of my life-long war with myself — eating disorders, self-criticism, workaholism, and a deep sense of not-enough-ness, especially around other women.

I emerged with a clear partnership with the Feminine. A reverence for and confidence in my body. Able to hear my unique and quirky intuition and trust my gut instincts. Clarity about my desires, needs, and wants. Feeling connection with and supported by other women. Able to create some truly miraculous shit.

I did not emerge perfect, nor pain-free. Nor do I aspire to be.

I am whole. I am happy. I am a great friend to myself. I am guided by the Oracle Between my Thighs and as a result, my life is continually stripped bare of bullishit and increasingly, astoundingly juicy. I feel so deeply loved by Life that it brings tears.

I have Enough — love, friendships, clients, income, support. And even though my plate is quite full, time. Time to dance, meditate, sometimes paint in oils, play with my kid, educate myself on racial equity, be an advocate for healthy masculinity, tend to my windowsill herb garden, cook good food, and generally eat sitting down.

Over the last 20 years, I have immersed myself in Women’s Studies, holistic nutrition, Transformational NLP, Child Developmental Psychology, Compassionate Communication, neuroscience, Attachment Theory, trauma recovery, mindfulness, racial justice, reproductive justice, feminism, womanism, Vajrayana Buddhism, Vedic Tantra, and human sexuality. I stand gratefully on the shoulders of e.e.cummings, Pema Chodron, Audre Lorde, Mary Oliver, Anne Lamott, Carl Buchheit, Carla Camou, Riane Eisler, and Regena Thomashauer. I hold an undergraduate degree in Dance Studies, a Masters Certification in Transformational NLP, a 500-hour Vinyasa Yoga teacher certification, and am a Holistic Health Coach certified by the AADP.

All that has helped me to become a gifted coach for women, run transformational courses and in-person retreats, do some inspired speaking now and again, and keep my butt in the chair to write my first book, Feminine Genius: Waking Up and Turning On the Wisdom of Being a Woman, which was nominated for Foreword Review’s “2017 Book of the Year” award.

And then, guess what? Down into the Dark I go (again)Reckoning with another radical Reinvention (again).

But now, I have TOOLS. I have an embodied understanding that when things fall apart, I have not fallen off my path, it is a part of my path.

Now, I know a Reinvention is galloping (again) toward me on the horizon. I know how to listen, to surrender, to accept only Divine Appointments, and to drag myself up on the wild horse of my life, and to stay astride, wind in my hair and beauty in my heart.

I know who I am now, what I want now, and what I will bring to the world now.

My friend, our Fallings-Apart and our Reinventions don’t happen once and then we get to get on with our lives. This IS our lives.

This IS a life lived in deep partnership with the Feminine. This IS a life where you will be refined, again and again, into the next version of the true you — the you who is here to love what you love, feel what you feel, know what you know, and do what is yours to do.

What do I mean by “Woman?”

By “Woman” I mean a person who has experienced misogyny.

We all live inside this dominant culture* that relentlessly devalues and controls women, girls, female bodies, female sexuality, those on the margins, queer and gender-non-conforming folks, and “feminine” qualities in all of us.

This program looks all of that square in the face and offers you an alternative — a radically self-affirming, life-affirming path and perspective for your Reinvention.

In this program, we will:

— Dignify the identity of Woman. As people who either self-identify as a woman or are seeking to understand more fully the identity of “woman” that has been assigned to us, we’ll dignify what has been so devalued, revise beliefs about what is and isn’t possible for us, and decide what fits (and what no longer does) in our identity as Women.

— Dignify our Bodies as they are, right now, period. Especially because they have been so denigrated, we need a deeper understanding of and reverence for female bodies, body parts, sensuality, and sexuality.

— Dignify the Feminine, whether that shows up in us as a quality such as intuition or sensuality or as an archetype such as the Divine Mother or the Holy Whore. Because “feminine” energy and qualities aren’t second-class, they are genius. And having full access to them brings profound wholeness, self-trust, and clarity.

— Dignify our Sexuality. There’s a load of toxic bullshit around sexuality in general, and female sexuality specifically. And we need to unlearn it so we can have full access to our unique expression of sensuality, creativity, joy, and power.

This program is descriptive, not prescriptive. Meaning, I’ll give you lots of information, perspectives, and exercises, much of which may be in your cultural blind spot. But I won’t tell you how to be.

This program is NOT about you contorting yourself to be some idealized version of Woman or Feminine. In fact, quite the opposite. I encourage you to take the gems you find, make your own crown, and you do you.

There’s no one right way to be you or to reinvent yourself, there is just YOUR way.

There’s no one right way to become the woman you’re meant to be, there is just YOUR way.

* I often use the term “dominant culture,” to describe the set of interconnected social systems built around domination and oppression that we all operate inside of — and are simultaneously working to free ourselves from.

Another term for this is kyriarchy, the “father” all the other -archies and -isms combined, including patriarchy, hierarchy, heteronormativity, meritocracy, misogyny, racism, sexism, ableism, colonialism, classism, capitalism, perfectionism, white supremacy, homophobia, transphobia, etc.

Whew. No wonder we’re all exhausted. Revision and Reinvention, anyone?
