Welcome! to Light Coaching:

Guide Service for the Soul

and Earth Circle Ceremonies and Quests.

As a visionary artist, counselor, coach, reverend, sacred prayer pipe carrier and some say 'wise woman,' there are a lot of ways I share the gifts I have received over the years with others and receive back in return.  I hope I have a chance to share with you too.

On the website you can find  a place to subscribe to my ezine, Earth Circle Love Notes, that I publish monthly at most, usually less frequently.  Also there is an archive of previously published articles from it.

I have posted a calendar of events for 2008, a sequential list of what I hope to offer this year. Check it out.  

Under 'Meet Maryanna' you can find short and long bio info on me, testimonials from coaching clients, my credentials, my favorite books and links, my e-book and events I was honored to be invited to facilitate at.

In the 'What is Light Coaching?' section, you will find information on my way of coaching folks. I call it Light Coaching, yet Guide Service for the Soul is perhaps a better description. There you will find who benefits from it, some principals of art, life and creativity I feel are core to life and guide my coaching, my coaching fees, and reference to the transformational practices that I have found more useful to myself and my clients.

The 'Heart Power Creativity Workshop' section has information on The Power of Heart, Color and Creativity Workshop that I have given for hundreds of folks since 1983, and I still find it amazing to witness the results.  Here also you will find information on special workshops by guest instructors or in collaboration with other people who I deeply respect and admire, or that I recommend.

The section 'Earth Circle Ceremonies & Quests' has some of the most profoundly life changing work that I have been privileged to do with people. Currently it includes

Here you will find information on equinox and solstice ceremonies, sacred women's empowerment days;

womens empowerment sacred circle and sacred sweat lodge and community sweat lodge ceremonies, the women's healing quest, the annual wilderness quest that I collaboratively facilitate with Jeremy Youst and this year Tania Neuschafer will be assisting us also. Take a look at what this powerful experience looks like, what questers have to say about it, the land where we quest and some quester humor, reflections on how you know you have been on quest.

There are also links to my visionary art and information on how to contact me.

Also I am very excited about my son Capt. Brian Gehan's ecology tours of the Maine Mid-Coast inter tidal zone in his sweet 16 ft. Sturdee skiff. Check it out.

Here is one of my favorite quotes, by D. H. Lawrence:
"When we get out of the glass bottles of our ego, and when we escape like squirrels turning in the cages of our personality and get into the forests again, we shall shiver with cold and fright but things will happen to us so that we don’t know ourselves.
Cool, unlying life will rush in, and passion will make our bodies taut with power, we shall stamp our feet with new power and old things will fall down, we shall laugh, and institutions will curl up like burnt paper."
