Maria Duta hasn't added a story.
Having been on a soul searching journey for a while, I've started to recognise long forgotten parts of me. One of these parts is what it is and feels like to be a woman, most especially a feminine woman.
In today's world we get taught and pushed to be masculine, strong, to lead, push and prove that we can be and do whatever a man can do.
Well, I've realised that this does not feel true or good to me.
I've been learning about softness and radiance and natural femininity
and it has opened my heart even more, making me realise how closed
off, in my head and masculine I had become.
And it hurts to
realise that.
In my bones lives this memory of the beauty and power of womanly tenderness, vulnerability and receptivity . She lives inside of me yet I've rejected her most of my life.
Being around these teachings has led me to remember and feel into my
natural feminine ways. Into my tender heart, into my deep desire to be
a mother one day which I have long suppressed, into my heart's longing
to be led by my (future) husband and live a life with my heart on my
sleeve, honouring my feelings and need for devoted masculine
leadership.
It literally hurts to live otherwise. To control, to
act out of fear, to lead feels like a knife in my heart.
As it would be for any woman who has become overwhelmed, tough
and overly masculine, this feels like a complete shift from society's
current paradigm of the 'ideal/empowered woman'. And while I feel all
of this wanting to come to the surface, this most real part of me, it
feels terrifying because it's the opposite of what I've lived and
learned throughout my life. I cannot do it alone and I need the
support and leadership I receive in this program.
And this is what I need your support for ~ To fund a program that takes me on a 6 month long journey of being led to heal, rediscover and embody my femininity and tender heart.
The investment for this 6 month journey is $9000.

You might think that this is not urgent or serious or what makes me more special than other women in a similar situation.
I'm not more special. In fact, I feel all women deserve to be supported and led in remembering the truth of their hearts and let go of their armour. We as a society need to remember and embrace the true beauty and power of being a feminine woman and returning to organic design. May my doing this inspire other women to look deeper into themselves and recognise and honour their hearts.
As for the urgency I would say that just because something is not tangible such as physical surgery, it doesn't mean it's less important or lifechanging - it just shows we may need to shift perspectives and priorities.
Mental, emotional and spiritual health matter just as much as the physical. In fact, maybe even more.
What is the point in just existing, living to fit a mould that has been placed on you? A life of survival and betraying your heart and soul to fit in?
In supporting me with your donations as well as sharing this, you're helping me transform my life, to become a better human being and authentic, radiant feminine woman. The soft, tender, receptive and heart centred femininity the world needs more of and which I desire to inspire other women to embody.
In contributing to my cause, you get to be a hero in my story and watch the unfolding of it through a YouTube vlog I intend to create where my transformation and open hearted insights might inspire and support you too.
And of course, you get to fill my heart with immense gratitude.
For the first 50 people who donate $50 or more, I want to offer a personalised "Thank You" note and a pre-recorded Heart opening prayer-meditation.
I feel vulnerable in asking for help, feeling my fear of judgement and of being seen as weak, the discomfort of opening up to receiving your help, yet it is making my heart smile because it is real. And I crave real more than anything!
Thank you!
