Release the Rush!
Release Time-related Stress Response
Stress related to
time, multi-tasking and the fear-reflex associated with the body's response
to stress. Maria Mar used dance-theatre and poetry to offer a mirror of what
happens to the body during a stressful respond to time. She engages the
audience in recognizing the physical symptoms. She then helps the audience
"unwind" with a relaxing, graceful "tiny dance" that relaxes the body,
deepens breath and opens the flow of energy. Quick, practical solution to
stress offered in a beautiful, artful and ceremonial structure. 30
minutes.

Swimming Against the Tide
Stop Struggling. Bloom where you are Planted.
You want to move
to the house of your dreams and give your children a good education. You
need a better health insurance. But how can you even dream of this? You are
trapped in a job that doesn't pay you enough and there's no prospect for a
promotion or a pay raise. So you are depressed. You live trying to make ends
meet. Your life is a struggle and you are always in emergency mode. Stress
is threatening to put you out of business, and the family is suffering.
Stop! Stop listing all the things you need to get. Stop listing all the
things you don't have! Join Maria Mar in an exploration of how to bloom
where you are planted. It's the only place to start! 30 minutes.

The Female Face of Power
Re-defining Power to Engage Female Leadership
In this compelling
performance, Maria Mar uses dance, theatre and poetry to portray how women
often push themselves to use the available patriarchal models of power as
control and exclusionary power, resulting in the violation of their own
organic Female Power. This is a strongly visual, plastic and visceral
presentation of the emotional invisibility women experience in a world that
defines power as control and renders them invisible and the amazing power
released when a woman re-defines power using her organic nature:
relationship, emotions, empathy, connection, environmental receptivity,
grace, beauty, collaboration and synergy. 30 minutes.

Who Stays with the House in the
Inner Divorce?
You can't divorce yourself. Save your Inner
Marriage!
You want to
progress and manifest your dream. But the models of leadership and
prosperity around you strike you as opportunistic, aggressive or downright
unethical. You'd love to be financially independent, but you are the
creative or spiritual type. You are not comfortable with money. You give so
much, but it's not appreciated by your friends or family, let alone your
boss. You do so much, but at the end of the day, you feel it's not enough.
You take so much, and then burst out and feel guilty later. You struggle
between what's assertive and what feels violent to you. At the end of the
day it seems that you've been shifting from one foot to the other. You're
tired of dancing and you feel evicted from yourself. Join Maria Mar in a
journey to explore the female Face of Power and the Male Face of Power. This
is beyond Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. This is about healing
your Inner Divorce and performing your Marriage of Power. Women groups.
Co-ed groups. 30 minutes.
