Devoted to Your Becoming

Dangerous Women

For women who have outgrown the lives they built and are ready to consciously participate in who they’re becoming.

A ten-month living program devoted to conscious becoming through myth, embodiment, story, and soul.

A woman who enters Dangerous Women® learns to trust the wisdom of her own body and soul, speak her desires without apology, pursue what calls her, and honor the totality of her humanity, her brilliance, her wounds, her mistakes, her joy, and her becoming.

We follow what’s alive. Your support stays steady, but there is no syllabus because you cannot rehearse the unknown. Dangerous Women is a living journey shaped around you and the women who enter this space.

Your muchness is welcome here. You are invited to fully show up, feel deeply, and become and unbecome in your totality.

ENTER THE WORK

How We Work

This is Mythopoetics and Mytho-Somatics.

Mythopoetics gives myth a voice. Through mythic maps and oral story, we locate ourselves inside larger human patterns; the thresholds, transformations, and archetypal journeys that shape who we are and who we are becoming.

Mytho-somatic practice gives myth a body. Through somatic practices, breath, Katonah-informed practice, nervous-system work, hypnosis, dance, and deep change work, insight becomes something we can feel, embody, and live.

Together, they invite us into a deeper relationship with the stories that shape us and the stories we are ready to author.

We practice desire as discipline through doable asks, embodied choices, and boundaries that help us honor what is true for us.

The content is emergent; we follow what’s alive in the circle. The structure is steady: two live classes each month, and clear touchpoints to help you notice your own growth.

Through mythic maps, oral story, somatic practices, movement, sacred teachings, and deep change work, Dangerous Women® guides you into a more soulful, connected, and joy-filled way of living.

At a Glance

Inside this work, things don’t unfold in a linear way. Life is more complex than that.

A myth might enter the space and mirror something you’ve been living without language for. A sensation in your body might become a doorway into an emotion you’ve been circling but not fully met.

We move with what is alive in real time. Through story, the body, and deep change work, you begin to notice the patterns, desires, and inner wisdom that have been asking for your attention.

Over time, the body, emotional landscape, imagination, and deeper knowing beneath it all begin to communicate. You become more available to yourself and to your desires, your choices, your creativity, and the life you are here to create.

You are the main character in the story of your life. Here, you deepen your relationship with yourself and move toward a more expressive, connected, and embodied way of living.

What Actually Changes

This work is about stopping the ongoing split between what you feel, what you want, and how you move through your life. It's about your coherency, in heart, mind, body, and spirit. All of you.

Through this work, you develop the capacity to:

You trust yourself through strong emotions. You can feel what is present without abandoning yourself, shutting down, or rushing to fix it.
You recognize your desires sooner and honor them more fully. You stop explaining them away or waiting for permission.
Your yes and no become clearer. Your boundaries come from self-trust rather than guilt or fear.
You communicate with more honesty and presence. Your relationships have more room for truth and connection.
You make decisions from your own knowing. You spend less energy searching outside yourself for permission or certainty.
You feel more at home in your body. You develop a deeper capacity to stay present with sensation, emotion, and aliveness.
Shame no longer gets to lead. You can meet your humanity with compassion and continue moving toward what matters.
Your creativity becomes a lived force. You access it, follow it, and let it shape how you move through the world.

You become more audacious in your life. You speak your desires, trust your inner knowing, take meaningful action, and allow yourself to be fully seen.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

When I first met Selena, the beauty of her spirit was evident immediately. Even more intriguing was the depth and breadth of her experience across myriad disciplines - yoga, mythology, anthropology, coaching, and somatic dance. But that was only the beginning of what I would come to see. Selena’s unique ability and skill in weaving together each of these areas to create an engaging and enlightening yoga retreat experience in Greece left me wanting more. In one day - that included oral story, somatic dance, a vibrant yoga flow, and expertly breaking down a fairy tale, I understood something about my life experience and the broader world that had been elusive for decades. It was freeing, liberating and empowering. I knew I had found a talented woman with whom I wanted to explore more of the world and see how each of these threads would begin to shed more light on life’s experiences and curiosities.

In a world that is relentlessly turbulent, Selena gives us an invitation to reflect through a perspective rooted in story and myth to see more clearly and enlighten both mind and soul. The outcome is a better understanding of ourselves, the world, and the inherent entanglement.

Through an invitation to deepen, a steadiness emerges as we take steps down an uncertain path. To find connection with community as we enhance understanding of the players / characters in our life and in the world. An invitation see more clearly. To welcome in thoughts and ideas with new eyes. To experience release and liberation from constricting thoughts and ideas. And specifically, stepping into a wisdom that opens to a glorious phase of life unbounded.

Over the past year I’ve immersed in Dangerous Women and continue to find Selena’s teachings comforting - in a blow the roof off kind of way, and enlightening. Through her masterful story telling of poignant fairy tales, she provokes discussion to ignite deeper understanding of the world. Given where the world is today, that’s no simple task. Perhaps that’s the magnificence of Selena’s teachings. As we navigate relentless uncertainty, and thus have a greater need than ever to care for mind, body, and soul, Selena’s teachings offer the insight to navigate cycles of life regardless of what age you may be. Her distinctive voice brings forward story in a way that furthers understanding and allows the practitioner to glean wisdom and apply it towards real life circumstances. In a short amount of time, we begin to stock the tool box with knowledge and practices that are ripe for these times.

To better understand one’s self, goals and aspirations, obstacles and impediments; to develop clarity on what you want to embody and to nurture it to fruition is, in itself, quite powerful. And Selena offers more. She creates an environment that supports immersive exploration of how we interface with the world and ignites deep areas of understanding to reveal the essence of our selves and life.

THE DESCENT OF INANNA: A MYTHIC MAP FOR BECOMING

Hearth is a space for women who are ready to move from insight into lived transformation.

Through the story of Inanna’s descent and return, we explore the movements that happen when a woman chooses to live more fully: following desire, surrendering what no longer fits, meeting what has been hidden, and returning with greater authority.

The descent is not a journey away from yourself. It is a journey deeper into yourself.

Inside Hearth, we use this mythic map alongside coaching, somatic practice, and deep change work to help you listen more closely to what is calling you, make choices aligned with your desires, and bring your becoming into your actual life.

THE JOURNEY OF HEARTH

A TEN MONTH JOURNEY THROUGH DESIRE, DESCENT, AND RETURN

Welcome to the Hearth

Over ten months, Hearth follows the mythic pattern of descent and return, a journey through desire, devotion, embodiment, and becoming.

Each month offers a new doorway into the story, inviting you to listen more deeply, meet yourself more honestly, and bring your desires into lived experience.

Following the call. Listening for what is stirring, what is asking for your attention, and where desire is leading you.

October: Allies & Appetite
Exploring nourishment, support, pleasure, and the relationships that help your fire grow.

Exploring the places where you guard yourself and opening toward deeper trust, connection, and receiving.

January: Unmanaged
Making space for your full expression. Exploring what becomes possible when you stop editing yourself and allow more of your truth to be seen.

February: The Pause
A season of stillness, reflection, restoration, and deep listening.

March: Tender Witnessing
Turning toward the parts of yourself that are ready to be welcomed, understood, and brought back into relationship.

April: Appetite Returns
Reconnecting with desire, vitality, creativity, and the things that call you forward.

May: Living It Out Loud
Bringing your desires into action through your choices, relationships, work, and daily life.

THE CRONE, THE HAG, THE DANGEROUS WOMAN

The Women's Stories..

Many women are seeking images and archetypes to help guide them through life’s journey. As young women, many of us were fed images that distorted our vision of ourselves, and we unknowingly began holding ourselves to these archetypal forms.

In modern culture, the images we need are often missing or distorted. Hello Disney princess movies and Bridget Jones (no offense, Bridget. I do love you).

In Dangerous Women, we’ll explore a potent body of ancient stories and recover new voices and imagery to guide us in the ongoing ceremony we call living.

Are you ready

Introducing...

Dangerous Women

A course, a mentorship, a tender reckoning. A soft rebellion.

Inside Dangerous Women, we’ll explore ancient stories and nourishing archetypes for a new way of seeing. We’ll bring the voice of the body online through somatic practices, Katonah Yoga®, breath, and dance. We’ll work with deep change practices to support the unconscious, and engage with ritual and threshold explorations to reshape our relationship to self, the wild, community, ecology, and the cosmos.

Your Most Audacious Life

Live the Story You Want to be Told

This is a space where you will be witnessed, held in your complexity, in your ordinary beauty, and provided a place to welcome home parts of yourself that may have been put to rest. It is a place for your gifts and genius to be mirrored back to you, to be held in your highest regard, and to get real about what you truly want and find the courage to act.

You’ll receive potent tools for working with your unconscious mind, you’ll learn to dream bigger and take meaningful action steps, and you’ll attune to the voice of the body as a compass for your desires.

In Hearth, through our group coaching, we’ll work with the places where you feel stuck, help you move beyond the patterns and stories that keep you circling, and support you in authoring a life you genuinely love. We’ll draw from memory reconsolidation, somatic mind-body coaching, NLP, hypnosis, and storytelling to support deep change.

Purpose

01

No more tiptoeing around who you really are. You'll open to your desires and ways of moving in the world and lean into and uncover your personal genius.

Spirited

02

This is for the women ready to break open the boundary conditions of their thinking, to embrace pleasure as a birth right, to fall in love with their shifting body, it's for the woman that want to live with audacity and honesty and welcome all of the parts of themselves home

– Keely

DANGEROUS WOMEN

A space to explore the gifts, desires, and parts of ourselves we may have cast out or ignored, so we can return to what is natural, instinctual, and true.

MYTHOS

Oral Story

Myth and story are as Martin says "the wildest way to tell the truth." Story allows us to speak about difficult topics, to explore our own hearts and psyche a little from the side. Good stories break spells, they are a mirror and a prism. Selena is an expert story teller and researcher of myth & fairytales and brings her robust academic and personal study to her art.

EMBODIMENT

EMBODIED

It isn't wisdom and true knowledge until it is in the body. Things are made tangible and explored and felt via the senses. Somatic practices, Katonah Yoga®, and breath practices will weave through our sessions.

SOMATICS, PLEASURE, CONNECTION

EMPLACEMENT

LAND

This isn't only about individuation. We are weaving our psyche to the greater whole. Together we'll explore the liminal, Great Nature, and connection to land and place. You'll be invited to make ritual, to get to know intimately your land and cosmos.

DANGEROUS WOMEN IS

an act of Un-shaming

My teacher says we are “heavily defended from our own beauty” (Martin Shaw). Particularly those of us in mid-life have felt the pressure to disappear, to soften ourselves, and to go quietly into the night.

But Dangerous Women says we do not have to be rendered invisible.

This is a place to rescue our own stories, mirror our ordinary beauty to one another, and embrace our audacity.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dangerous Women

Do you guarantee transformation?

What are you waiting for?

You're Fullest Self is Waiting

It's time to deepen into who you really are. To unbecome. To shed the stories, images, and archetypes that are not serving your life and to step into your audacity. We're reclaiming the old stories, dancing in our audacity, and boldly owning our desires. That might sound super scary right now, but I've got you and we're journeying with tenderness, grace, and heaps of self compassion.

In our first session Selena helped me cut through my own BS and to own parts of myself I had long cut off. I am growing my understanding of myself

so I can rise into my potential and I see it unfolding already. It was the start of a magnificent adventure. I'm so grateful. I have so much clarity
