ROCESS OF AWAKENING ANCESTRAL CONSCIOUSNESS
This process began as a photography project and turned into a life project;a message that I have wanted to share with all women, girls, and teenagers who live in a world that sometimes seems as if it has not yet awakened, and that only by gradually being aware, we will see that it is in fact there and has been the great gift from our ancestors.
It all began one day inspired by an image of a French artist, named Caroline Maniere, and then little by little, I started developing the idea of the costume.

We made the headdress, the necklace, and took some time to find a model who could convey a message that was developing.
Start with some beads…
To accompany this image, I started looking for symbols and text that would later become the message.
In addition to this, I found a message of peace from the Virgin Mary that came out by chance and connected with my project.
Then we sought to connect with the symbolism of the Moon and Mayan themes to make a calendar for the image related to women.
Team to Create the Warrior
Here with Martha Barbosa my favorite MUA in Mexico, Effy Chavira the model,Me (Claudia Vernaza), Maya my Eurasian dog and Catos my friend from Canon.
hen, after not being able to meet with a candidate who conducted women's circles, I decided to contact a model I knew, That day, while we were talking, I was surprised to learn that she was not only a model, but also a psychologist dedicated to angel therapies, regressions, and understood the topic perfectly.

This picture seemed to want to be accompanied by other females, so we decided to make a series of women in different age ranges, including a girl, an teenager, a woman, a weaver, and a wise old woman.
I decided to continue with the weaver, and looking for a loom, I found Maria at Instituto Macuil, who lent me her loom and where we took the photo of the weaver.
Not without first meeting Cristina Maya, an ancestral weaver who taught us to weave with my daughter and a friend, a great collaborator of my project.
We took the second photo based on an image that came to me through a friend who had a text that connected with a personal process of mine, which said "And I took up the threads of my life in colors, but this time to weave myself stronger".
hen, after a trip to New Mexico in 2019 to connect with a group of creative women, guided by Joyce Tenneson, recognized worldwide as one of the most influential photographers of her generation, I encountered the wisdom that only she could transmit. It reminded me and reconnected me with the importance that artists have to show the world and essence of the human being, capture inner beauty, reconnect with our ancestors, and with our spirituality.
And it was in New Mexico where this woman who has dedicated her life to photographing wise women suggested that I make this project into a book, a website, a movement to awaken many women, not without first doing personal work. Thus, this dream was officially born.
It was healing and inspiring to meet a group of women who gathered from 7:00 a.m. to meditate and work, all concluding in awomen's circle

It was an amazing journey because when I arrived, not only did I attend the photography course, but in the same place there was a monastery and retreat of the Virgin Mary of over 400 years old. The wifi password in this place was “Maria”.

Powers of the Silent Moon, the Magical Menopause Phase(Plenopause)
There comes a time in life when the dynamism of spring and the harvest of summer give way to a Cycle that is not only beautiful but very important for the CIRCLE OF LIFE... the cycle of Renewal to surrender ourselves as Nature does to the wisdom of the wind, in total trust that it will renew us, the wisdom will remove and take us to that sacred flight of transformation, it is exactly the heart that we need to recycle.
The patriarchal sociocultural orientation of the last generations has programmed us to resist change.
Likewise, it happens in our Luminous womb that in shorter comparative periods, invites us to traverse the entire spectrum of energies and movements that Nature makes in its journey around the sun.
Each phase of the Moon and of Life with its own, with its precious and special Medicine. Each phase of our luminous womb, of our whole being as a Woman, with its own, with its precious and cherished specialty, which fills our Journey with purpose.
Reunion with the sacred with our inner WISE OLD WOMAN, eternal young heart and with our INNER ENCHANTRESS. Together they fill us with bubbles of JOY, WISDOM & WHOLENESS.
My Ancestresses live within me.
Awakening the feminine memory. Human, Divine Wild. Experiencing the feminine powers that are not metaphor, they are the expression of the Goddess in the Soul of Woman. Τo remember. Chakana
