Myriad
She is the pocket of time between inhale and exhale.
We dwell within her mystery, she dwells within our bones.

Wahei Takeda, (“Warren Buffet of Japan”) a billionaire investor spent his final years giving and spreading joy and sharing the powerful technique he used to become Japan’s wealthiest man.
“Everyday, Wahei “maros” up. Maro is short for magokoro, which means “true heart.” [It’s] a spiritual state of unconditional love for yourself and others. According to Wahei, it radiates an energy that draws good fortune into your life. In order to maro up, Wahei says “Arigato” (Japanese for “thank you”) hundreds and even thousands of times a day… appreciating even the smallest things, oomphs up a person’s ability to attract great things in their life.
Wahei’s philosophy:
“If you love the world, it will love you back.” — Pam Grout

Call Your Power Back!
with Marla Durden
Tuesday, April 1st | 6-7:30pm PT
Modern Root Woman and Women of Wisdom Foundation, invites you to Call Your Power Back! We are powerful beings. Our personal power enables us to create, be sovereign and resilient. Many of us leak power daily through habits, negative thinking, unhealed traumas and belief in authority… or the belief that we don’t have any.
We need our power to live well. Join us as we call our power back using our creative birth-rights of sound, movement, story and stillness.
Bring a candle, journal or art supplies, and a glass of water.
Leave refreshed, empowered, centered and ready.

“Marla Durden is one of those people I could talk with for hours. From an early age she became aware of subtle energy and has been studying it ever since. From hands-on healing to dowsing to BioGeometry, she has accrued a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience. She teaches and leads groups and runs a psycho-spiritual mentoring practice in Seattle. She is also quite familiar with the mushroom spirits and we begin the first hour discussing her connection with those teachers, and Marla has a lot to say on that subject. The conversation weaves into the topic of BioGeometry, which is about creating an energetic field through geometry “on steroids” to quote Marla. In her work Marla has encountered entity possession and in the second hour I had her share her experience and knowledge on that subject. We also discuss magic, manifesting and the power of the mind, high frequency nutrition, Ormus, Rene Quinton’s sea plasma, and more. Marla is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom and this 2-hour conversation with her is time very well spent!”
