"How To Step More Fully Into Your Role As A Female Leader With Pride By Getting Alcohol Out Of The Way Without The Life Sentence Of Cold Turkey Abstinence"

Have you ever asked your self, or been asked the question, what’s possible for you? Most people grow up in a pretty linear way, far away from the land, rites of passage and knowing their fullest potential. 

In January 2018, Mary claimed it as her year of YES! Figuring out how to rebuild her community after years in real estate and having a baby. She also knew she wanted to take her path of teaching yoga and mindfulness on a new journey that would meet people at any stage of their life, help them find the solutions to their problems from the inside, and reach their unlimited potential through growing self-worth and the awareness that the future of infinite possibility lives in their mind. 

She also knew some things needed to change. She had, for almost 20 years, lived a parallel life with a love affair with both yoga, wellness, and alcohol.  Never fully creating community in the world of wellness she loved so much, and that was ultimately her saving grace, out of fear that her party lifestyle would be judged, she spent much of her social time with a shallow sphere of people who didn’t challenge, inspire or support her or themselves.  

With a lifetime of story leading her on this journey, from paternity fraud, to eating disorders to an undercover party girl lifestyle, today, she shares with you the practice she used to go from a foundering master of margaritas into a powerful boss witch. How to take your life from mundane to magic by way of the divine feminine and the practice of everyday ritual. It is how you use your biggest problems and challenges as tools for change. In a society of spiritual and cultural deficit, we long for more but have never even had the thoughts about impossibility to know that there is a flip side to that. We don't even question something more, or bigger. Mary's mission is to change this for all people, especially women during their transition from Maiden into Motherhood phase of their lives, (with or without children).

"The Power of Micro-Expressions and The 7 Universal Emotions"

I will share with you the 7 Universal Emotions, the POWER of micro-expressions, and YES a cliff hanger … if we have time, one body language must know how – BOOSTER! (Prepare for a selfie.) These three ingredients will increase your badass self and boost your confidence, so others will invest their time, energy, and money in YOU! You will learn how to:

• Build healthier and stronger relations reducing the amount of energy spent repairing them.

• Boost your confidence and decrease the amount of time you spend second guessing yourself.

• Increase your savvy-knowledge saving you time and money.

Bio: I work with individuals and organizations to get to the heart of understanding their uniqueness. As well as how their mission, values, and principles can help them build healthier and happier organizations and build stronger relationships.

I’ve spent twenty years working in and outside of corporate America, developing my unique perspective on how to lead using the power of trust. In spite of recent breakthroughs that detail exactly how trust impacts our relationships, leaders (mom or business owner) of all types still suffer from the effects of their own weaknesses in the areas of truth and trust.

I use the power of micro-expression (yes, like the FBI uses to detect lies!) and my own leadership journey at corporations like Enron and American Express, along with my intensive apprenticeships with leadership guru Robin Sharma, body language expert Jeanine Driver, and classes at Harvard Kennedy School to analyze and repair trust problems for leaders of all types!

Rebecca Hyman

Rebecca Hyman is a therapist in private practice.  She is writing a book on how to heal trauma that is rooted systemic oppression by re-creating meaning and engaging in social justice practice.  She also teaches at Lewis & Clark College in their doctoral program in Educational Leadership.  A former English and Women’s Studies Professor, she offers trainings on:

- Gender and power in the workplace

- Trauma and secondary trauma

- Identifying and overcoming oppression and whiteness in healthcare and other settings

What it means to substitute meaning and purpose for productivity and efficiency:

 When you wake up in the morning, what’s the first thing that comes into your mind, and how does your body feel?  And at the day’s close, do you find you’ve checked lots of things off your list, but feel bored, irritable, and unfulfilled?  It’s easy to get seduced by the latest bullet journal or fancy new planner; the lure of the next productivity book.  But how do we find our meaning and purpose, when we devote so much time to efficiency and productivity?  What happens when we let years go by without feeling we’re making an impact on the world, or expressing our authentic selves?   And at the same time, how can we acknowledge and act on our biggest dreams, when we have so many responsibilities to ourselves and others, and when we feel so tired?  We’ll tackle how to keep our focus on our larger meaning, even when we have to pay the bills and take out the trash.

Lyn Delmastro Thomson

Lyn Delmastro-Thomson is a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner, speaker, and author of the Amazon Best Seller, You Are Not Your Diagnosis. She holds a master’s degree in somatic psychology and has completed additional specialized training in biofeedback, therapeutic yoga, and Reiki.

After being misdiagnosed with leukemia at the age of 25, Lyn became passionate about sharing with the world her message that just because a doctor has said an illness is "chronic" or "incurable" doesn't mean that it has to be a life sentence, and that western medicine isn't the only approach to healing. When we explore other holistic options, true healing, rather than symptom management, can occur.

Lyn will be presenting on the topic "Your Genes Are Not Your Destiny." In this presentation, Lyn will share more about the power of our minds and our beliefs to either benefit our health or contribute to making us ill. Delving into the fascinating research on the placebo effect, Lyn will teach you how to harness your own thoughts to support your own health and well-being.

Lyn will also touch on the fascinating field of epigenetics, which is now revealing that only a very small portion of all disease is caused by your genes and much more of it is created by the environment (toxins, traumatic experiences, and more). This is exciting information because it means we have more control over our health than the old paradigm led us to believe.

Clarice Connolly

Clarice Connolly is going to share with us a little bit about her life experience of what it looks like to face your deepest shame and how we can all play a part in dismantling stigma. After a devastating diagnosis of Herpes, it turned her belief of what life "should" look like turned upside down. What most people feel is a shameful, stigmatic, and very concerning thing to have; has now become Clarice's passion project for life where she hopes to be a beacon of possibility for so many others.

After years of introspection and a large number of disclosures Clarice has discovered how the very act of being vulnerable with our loved ones and even strangers, gives us this incredible opportunity for a different kind of experience we may not have known possible.

When we share vulnerably, we give others the permission to see our raw selves. Which in turn gives them the opportunity to feel safe to share themselves too.

This generosity creates space for a deeper authentic connection between humans we may have once left for only our significant others. Have you ever felt so seen, as though you have been gotten by another even if their stories aren't exactly identical? The intimate connection leaves a lasting impression in your heart that may withstand time and leave you feeling full. What would be possible if we opened up just a little bit more a challenged the ways in which we connected with those around us? Clarice will share more about some of her experiences in hopes of inspiring what we may not have thought possible.
