from the heart. She touches people with the depth of her wisdom
and single focused approach to an authentic life.”

The Red Book Teleclass
Every Tuesday starting June 12th – July 10th 2012 5:00-6:15 pm PST
(if you miss a call you can download the mp3 of the class the next day)
The red heart of this dynamic 5-week course is to inspire women of all ages to create a more intimate and expressive relationship with the universe outside of them, and more importantly, the universe swirling deep inside them – through a combustible cocktail of creative exercises, fiery meditation, meaningful ritual, intuitive journaling, and provocative dialogue.
Emphasis will be placed on trusting one’s unique path and becoming one’s own spiritual authority… not to mention creating some delicious, divine mischief along the way. After all, you’re not here to play small; you’re here to start fires (and have a blast in the process).
I’ll be teaching live over the phone (you can also listen later online) with plenty of time for Q & A and authentic one on one connection.
THE LOW DOWN
How has your divine spark been winking attcha lately? Are you winking back?
“It’s all too easy, given the general chaos of the world, from religious dogma to political turmoil to relentless fashion trends to ruthless media messages, to ignore your true make up, to inhibit your remarkable potential, and to keep your sight dim, your life experience at a low heat, devoid of any yummy sacred sizzle. Well enough of that. This book will not let you live that way anymore.” — The Red Book
Maybe you’re flirtin’ with the sacred on a daily basis and consider yourself quite “spiritual”. Awesome. But remember, no matter how many divine winks you receive or yoga classes you take, self-help books you read, meditations you practice, mystical experiences you have, spiritual workshops you attend, energy work you do, or positive intentions, vision boards, and prayers you make – there’s always room to draw closer to your own divinity.
Why is creating a more intimate, expressive, and deeply conscious relationship with your divine spark (aka: your Soul, your Self, your God/dess Source, your Inner Badass, the You of you) so important? Because our relationship with our divine spark directly affects everything else in our life — our career, finances, life purpose, relationships, sexuality, health, clothing choices, spirituality — and is the relationship our hearts crave to experience more than anything else. It’s the very reason we’re alive.
Plus, your divine spark craves you…like a 70′s love song.
“the most intimate, amazing, powerful love affair in the universe is happening right inside your skin” — The Red Book
So. If your divine spark hasn’t been a priority lately, now’s the time to make it one with the support of an amazing group of kickass women.
Just a friendly reminder: The Red Book does not push a specific spiritual path, philosophy, practice, self-help technique, diet or program. Instead, The Red Book helps women of all ages let go of excess spiritual baggage and navigate the often-confusing spirituality arena without losing their divine sovereignty, femininity, individuality or sense of humor.
”By doing something or being someone that is more you and less “them,” you are teaching the world through example how to genuinely live, how to waltz through this whole charade with eyes wide open, how to be a brave woman who’s not afraid to wear red to a funeral — in short, how to be truly free” — The Red Book
“Why take a teleclass when I’ve already read the book?”
1. Group Mojo: Because there’s something undeniably powerful, inspiring, motivating, magical, alchemical and utterly divine that happens when women gather together (over the phone) with the sincere intention to open that much wider to their Grandest Being.
The instant message we send the Universe: “Bring It!”
And, I know for a fact that the Universe can’t help but comply.
“Become a divine exhibitionist. Play more, laugh more, do things that make your spirit roar, that amplify all your senses and encourage others to smile. Love boldy. Make your spirituality brighter, your prayers more colorful, your life more refined and reflective. Not only make the divine see you, but make the divine want to lick your forehead and taste you. …You have to pray from such an honest and open and raw place in yourself that the divine eagerly wants to kneel at the altar of you.” — The Red Book
2. Live Interaction: Over the five weeks we’ll cover the entire Red Book but the real treat is the combustible concoction of live interaction, fresh new material, creative exercises, fiery meditation, meaningful ritual, intuitive journaling, provocative dialogue, personal stories, and of course, dirty jokes.
Here’s the best part: Half of every class will be dedicated to your comments and questions.
Q & A is my absolute fave part of any event because without fail the Divine Goods get delivered in Ways our clever minds (or printed books) could never plan. So buckle your spiritual seat belts, we’re gonna fly into exhilarating new territories together.
“Remember, the divine is continuously discovering and recreating itself as it evolves through the course of our human lives. And that means it’s our duty not to bore Her.” — The Red Book
“But, I gotta save my moula…”
for those new shoes/that trip/my yoga classes. I see how you roll. Smile. In my humble opinion, re-igniting your relationship with your divine spark is absolutely priceless.
That said,
If you’ve been seriously bitch slapped by the economy lately, the wonderful people hosting my class at en*theos Academy for Optimal Living have a generous “pick your price” model and even scholarships. However, for their sake and my own (and those who really need to pay lower costs) if you can afford the full tuition please do so as it’s a more than fair exchange for our hard work and divine services.
“But, I’m SO busy and have a zillion things to do…”
Taking time to re-ignite your divine spark will help you handle your busy life with more intuitive wisdom, Universal support, grace and ease. Truth is, most of us are so busy/frantic/overwhelmed because we’re disconnected from ourselves — “I’ll reconnect AFTER I’ve taken care of (my children/career/laundry/relationship/creative project)…if I have the energy.” This class is an opportunity to get your priorities straight and spend more quality time with you (and You).
Imagine hanging out in your comfy living room, wrapped in a cozy blanket or a refreshing summer’s breeze, sipping Red wine or iced green tea, pampering yourself with inspiring ideas, rich experiences and divine love — it’s like spending an hour at a spiritual spa getting your soul massaged (light touch or deep tissue is your choice).
“Igniting your divine spark is a simple perspective shift. An internal nod. An expanded relaxation into All That Is. It’s about tuning up your senses, cranking up your antennae, generating conscious living. It’s about becoming your own spiritual authority.”– The Red Book
“But, what can this teleclass DO FOR ME?”
Igniting your divine spark will instantly make you happier, healthier, wealthier, attract your soulmate, that dream job, those fabulous shoes and a condo in Hawaii.
blahblahblabbbbblech
Did you hear that? I think an angel just threw up.
While all the above are possible side benefits to igniting your divine spark, I gotta remind you that you’re here to “achieve” much more than “all the above.” Your divine spark’s got way Bigger Game, but you gotta be willing to play it. As I wrote in the Introduction of The Red Book about igniting my own divine spark:
”Learning how to live my truth, out loud and on purpose and with inner authority, is worth it. Merging my humanity with my divinity is worth it. Becoming responsible for my self, for the vibe I give off, feels, well, downright heroic…I would rather be alive, be real, be increasingly conscious of all that I am, than move around this planet all mechanical and unconscious.” — The Red Book
p.s. When you connect more deeply with your divine spark the question naturally shifts from “what can igniting my divine spark do for me?” to “what can I do for my divine spark?”
Let’s widen the lens…
It doesn’t take a religious doomsdayer or a news anchor or an environmentalist or an economist or a political strategist or an oil reserve or a psychic or a whale or a Mayan Calendar to tell us that the shit is hitting the fan on this planet. In this day and age, more than any other time in history, you need to be igniting your divine spark as much as you need to be breathing air. When times get rough, She is your truest compass. When the media is relentlessly slamming you with fear and stress, She is your peacemaker, your wisest adviser, your truest leader, communicating the best course of action for you and this planet. These days, learning to follow internal divine direction is not just an airy-fairy spiritual ideal, it’s about human and planetary survival.
A few years ago, the Dalai Lama reportedly stated, “Western women will save the world.” While I’m not sure if I entirely agree with him, he was onto to Something. Because many of us in the West are graced with the time and the means to consciously ignite our divine sparks, it has become our sacred responsibility to do. It’s not only a privilege to get up close and personal with our divine spark, it’s our duty. And, in this class, we get to perform our sacred duty together while having a blast in the process.
“Remember, you are not here to play it safe. You are here to start fires” — The Red Book
You In?
A suggestion: Ask your divine spark if this class would be beneficial for you to take and then pay attention to divine winks via synchronicities, symbols, dreams, billboards, love songs…
“Even if you feel totally clueless about what/who/where/why divinity is, it doesn’t change the fact that something’s still there, twinkling your world, illuminating meanings, urging you this way and that, winking and whispering and just waiting to contradict, to surprise, to undress. All you have to do is get quiet inside, hear that whisper, resonate with that sunset, and allow yourself to realize, Aha, Here I Am. Here We Are. Now let’s get this party started” — The Red Book
If this class resonates with your spark,
And, if you know other women who you think would dig this class, I would be grateful if you let them know…the more divinely-sparked women on this planet, the better.
“We are here to be our divine selves, boldly, passionately, respectfully, to the absolute best of our ability — and this, this is more than enough.”
Dare yourself to disturb the universe.
Ask yourself:
How intensely do I want to exist?” — The Red Book
Redvolution: Women Daring to Disturb the Universe
August 17th-19th, 2012 Berkeley, CA
Redvolution is a fire-breathing, body-rocking, heart pumping, soul-smooching, deliciously unorthodox movement of the modern feminine divine.
Offered in a style and lingo that fits our modern and often complicated lives and based on Sera’s The Red Book and forthcoming book, Red Hot and Holy: A Delightfully Heretical Love Story – we’ll raise our spiritual temperatures and experience a rouge awakening through creative exercises, fiery meditation, meaningful ritual, intuitive journaling, provocative dialogue, and shaking what The Momma gave us.
More than a “workshop” this is a Redtreat. It’s time for you and Her to get up close and personal.
Because the truth is, there is nothing more enlightening than a woman who doesn’t just believe, but knows, deep in her cells and passionate Red heart that she’s a direct manifestation of the Divine Feminine on earth…and dares to act like it.
“The Red workshop was like a loving little kick in the ass, care of the universe. Sera is this booty-shaking, platform-boots-wearing, dynamic little explosion of energy. Her playfulness cuts right through all the bullshit and finds you right at the core of your own ecstatic energy. She has made plain the key to being an ecstatic activist is by being wholeheartedly who you are in this world. I know, I know. You say, “But I don’t know who I’m supposed to be or what I’m supposed to do in this world.” I‘ve spent my whole life trying to figure it out, too. And in one day, one tiny divine vixen so simply and easily asked the right questions, and there I was. The one I’d been all along, the passionate priestess of my own soul, with permission to be erotic, raw, chest bared and hips swaying. I went into the workshop stuck and came out dancing, and donning my new Red cape. A spiritual heroine is born….. ho!!!! “- Melissa
Red Talks
“The loss of soul connection, loss of connection to our femininity, may be the real cause of our anguished condition” – Marion Woodman
Most of us our only acquainted with the upper half of the Universe, our masculine Spirit, and this planet is suffering as a result. It’s time to go downtown with out divinity and get up close and personal with the Universe’s other half (and some might even say “better half” depending on what’s going on in their lives), our feminine Soul. Our divine feminine Soul holds our true purpose, that which will unleash our creativity, jump start our red hearts, set our eyelashes on fire and help us be of greater service. Our soul is extraordinarily essential to recognize, embrace, and share for our entire planet’s evolution, but reacquainting ourselves with our Soul is not always an easy process. In her fiery, humorous and intimate talks, Sera shares her personal story mixed with Red teachings reminding us all of the importance of our Souls and walking our divine talk.
“Seeing Sera on stage and listening to her speak, you could hear a pin drop in the audience… her being carried a stunning presence that captured the attention of everyone in the audience. Soft spoken with profound eloquence, sometimes humor and always with a depth that propels the listener even deeper, Sera is like a dynamic painting radiating expansive opportunity right into your heart and soul.”
– Georgia Dow, Integrative Healing Arts since 1970.
