Introduce Yourself! ... if you want to :)

[Una]

Hi :)

My name's Úna, I live in Cork, Ireland. I grew up in Australia but have lived in Ireland for 14 years.

My family are from a Irish Catholic tradition. I was never devoutly religious but used to pray to a Christian I suppose God as a kid, then became staunchly anti-religion as a teenager when I saw how limited and harmful the religion I was exposed to is. I guess I rejected all ideas of spirituality and the divine along with it.

When I came to Ireland I experienced deep trauma and illness and through this eventually came to the other side with a form of reiki and meditation and community here in Cork. It made me realise how deeply we can be healed by the divine. I practice every day and while my recovery is extraordinary to me it also simultaneously just makes sense as I knew from a young age that love is everything, and once I started following the path of love, beautiful things happened.

I came across Maryam on Twitter and everything she was saying resonated deeply with me. I'm here to learn a bit more, the universe fascinates me on a curiosity level but also I want to apply it to my life because I know it's the only way to exist for me, following this path, since I have begun tuning in to it I have begun shedding who I'm not and becoming more and more my true self.

Love and light to you all!

Hi Everyone! Just joined the portal & it feels like home. I have so few friends I can sincerely talk to about spirituality and I am so excited to read about y’alls gifts & backgrounds.

I’m 27, living in Los Angeles. I found out about Maryam through attending the wellness retreat in LA last November!

I have always felt very close to spirit since I was young. I grew up in a Pentecostal Christian church and was able to explore my gifts there.

After attending a Christian college, I was so disillusioned with religion that I stopped actively communicating with spirit (though spirit didnt stop speaking to me).

I’ve only jumped back in in the past few years through the door of astrology and tarot.

Excited to learn alongside everyone!!

Hey! So sorry that I’m just seeing this message. I will email you...

Hello All! My name is Jazz. I’m in Albany, NY. I’m 33 and I’m attending this school to help me remember who I am. I love being silly and my favorite color is burgundy. I have a 12 year old son and he’s amazing. Blessings to you all!

[gladiatorinsweats]

 I'm just now realizing there's a forum! All in divine timing, I assume. :)
My name is Jasmine, and I'm 24 years old currently living in Las Vegas, NV. I'm currently a stay-at-home mama of 2 littles. ♡ I started my spiritual journey in 2013 on tumblr, where I learned about soul contracts. I found Maryam's IG somehow a few years ago and recently joined this community. :) Fast forward to now, I felt drawn to study astrology this past month which lead to so many epiphanies. I want to realize my innate intuitive gifts to put them to use for the highest good of all.

My intention is to find community with other like-minded folks, as I'm realizing the old life I was living just a few weeks ago even doesn't resonate with who I truly am.

Much much love to y'all, I gotta take some time to read everyone's posts. ♡♡♡

[Beatriz]

Hello! I'm Beatriz and I finally took a break from insecurities to say hi!

Well, I'm 29 years old and I'm from Spain but I feel I could be your friendly neighbor every Sunday class ocean's apart...
My life has been changing a lot recently so... I'll just say that I've been in this ascension process for awhile and that it's amazing how my spirit jumps with every class, article or post from Maryam!

I wanna say that if you're scared or feeling resistance or whatever... I get you, but thankfully there's no coming back! You can try to deny what your soul and your higher self are trying to tell you but you can't hide from them! I'm constantly letting go... and embracing every single moment of this "new" way.

I just wanted to say thank you all for your good vibes and high energy every month and that I'm glad to see myself in so many beautiful mirrors like you.

Thanks to the universe for this opportunity to re-learn and to connect with myself and others in this beautiful community!

Pd: Excuse me any english grammar mistakes, please! I know you will! :)

[Torres]

Hello Loves,

I'm a little late to the party but still happy to be here! My name is Torres. I'm a 26 year old filmmaker based in Columbia, SC and Atlanta, GA. I found Maryam through a mutual friend in 2014 if I'm not mistaken and I've been rocking with her ever since :)

I am so grateful that we are all co-creating this magical resource and are being led by Has. Also quite happy to see so many of you open to sharing a little about yourselves. Proof that this is indeed a safe space.

Oh! And if it applies, I can be found on Twitter as: @boybequiet and on Instagram as: @sun.torres

[Takeema]

Hey all,

My name is Takeema. I'm 31, will be 32 in June, and I'm glad to be here. I'm from North Carolina and currently reside here after living in the Bay area for about 5 years. I'm a person in progress, journeying the best way I know how. I've been a spiritual seeker for a while now with my attraction to astrology being what I consider to be my gateway into broader metaphysical studies. I still study astrology and I also dabble in a little tarot but those are moreso personal practices I use to connect.

My current focus is going deeper in my study of the chakra system and energy body as well as cultivating a more devoted, consistent, and authentic practice. I consider myself something of a universalist in terms of teachings I pull from but I'm deeply drawn to tantric buddhism, afro indigenous spiritual practices, and the goddesscentric.

All in all, I'm about that bliss life right now, and my main desire is to get as aligned as possible with the path that will bring me closest to what is truest, and ultimately best, for me.  Making the choice to do a membership for this community is my first step into really claiming and choosing spiritual community for myself and it feels super super good. I've never had a church home in my adult life, the closest thing that I had to it was a meditation center I used to go to from time to time when I lived in the Bay.

I'm a bit of a lone wolf, especially when it comes to my spiritual life, so I may not post a lot or be in the chat a lot but I'm here, I'm hanging around, I feel aligned with what's taking place here, and I'm opening up to the possibility of being in genuine and resonant community in this way. I've still got some wounds connected to my understanding of community but that's something that's actively being addressed and healed for me at this time in my life.  

I'm a Sending power and peace to you all. And I'm truly looking forward to building and learning alongside you.

[Liliana]

Greetings!

So happy to be here! I was born in Maui Hawaii and have lived most of my 22 years in California. I was raised in a reform Jewish community in Santa Rosa and I recently graduated from Pitzer College in Claremont where I studied Critical Global Studies.

I'm currently living and teaching on the island Borneo in Malaysia. This community has been so nourishing for me while living in a remote area in Sabah.

[salome]

Hi everyone!

My name is salomé, my friends and family call me mimi. i'm 23 from regina, sk, canada :-) i'm certifying to be a doula and currently a support worker for people with disabilities.

I've been on this path of remembering for about 6 years! sweet Hasnaa has been gently directing me back to myself for about 4/6 of those years. i'm very grateful for her and this school and all of you! thank you all so much for sharing and holding space for each other. it's so beautiful!
I'm not sure what to exactly write about why I'm here... I'm super long winded LOL. so lets keep this short.
i'm finally in a space to be able to move away from keeping this part of me hidden and i'm definitely over always watching from the sidelines.
also pretty positive my friends are tired of hearing me talk about these things all of the time hahaha.

I'm here to connect, have fun, talk... i love to talk. and get a sense of belonging to a community. my ig is salomethecatalyst and tumblr is conjurewoman if anyone wants to connect beyond the portal :-)

with love, salomé

[Valentina]

Hi all :)

My name is valentina, i am 29 (nov 24 sag sun/libra moon/virgo rising), living in Queens NYC but I grew up in the Bay Area for most of my life, originally from the former yugoslavia.
I joined the New Earth School just last month but have been diving into the past lessons.

I've always been really curious about life and Ive been lucky to be surrounded by people who fostered that, and honestly i would say a lot of my spiritual journey was sparked by taking psychedelics and the community of friends that wanted to explore. But I started the deep work in my journey only within the last couple of years (no psychedelics with this, just tea).

I don't know if I am on an ascension path, it's possible. I've just worked through the karmic agreement situations and getting into some shadow work and really clearing out those old timeline belief systems. I feel so good and ready, honestly.

I love the way the universe works cause I also "randomly" stumbled upon Heyfranhey's work and thus was introduced to Hasnaa's work and I'm grateful to have a little guidance cause coming from no clear traditional spiritual/religious background it kind of is hard to navigate words especially (although, im blessed to have had to the freedom to explore it all).

And I am so happy to share this with you all so we can all enjoy <3  

PS. One thing I'd really like to do is potentially start a little women's circle in the NYC area so I might post in detail about that later but let me know if you are in the area/interested.

[Dhiyanah]

Hi all! My name's Dhiyanah (pronounced dee-YA-nah) - I'll be 29 this October and and I'm an artist and writer living in Malaysia. I'm half-Indian half-Malaysian who has lived in a few different countries before reluctantly returning here. Living a full and creative life is important to me, as is providing others joy, catharsis and healing via art. I've been making art for forever but I'm still very new in aligning my work with my true intentions. Recently I've been able to shed a lot of old conditionings and accept that there is something both inside and beyond me that calls me to mysticism and energy work. Since embracing that call, I've felt lighter, actually happy, and more on-purpose.

I've just joined The New Earth Mystery School after finding a lot of Maryam's content online highly resonant with what's been shifting around in my own heart. A dear friend linked me to her Twitter once and that was IT and now here I am! I'm really grateful to have found this space. I've just watched one of the archived classes - and, wow. I'm so excited to join in on future live classes whenever I can.

Love and light to all 💕

[Karina]

Hi everyone,

I'm joining you all in Divine Timing:)  My name is Karina, I am 31 years old.  I'm from Oakland, CA and I've been living in NYC for the last couple years.  

I attended a Christian church with family on and off in childhood through my teenage years.  I've always been curious about religion and spirituality, and for years I identified as Agnostic.  

I've been on a spiritual journey for the last 3 years.  I left The Bay and moved to LA for one year. Things were not going as planned, and I started to explore/focus on my spiritual attunement. Once I let go of control I was able to pay attention to synchronicity.  I followed the signs to NYC to join a volunteer program that focused on social justice, spirituality, simplicity and community in NYC.  I have a BA in Sociology and finishing an intense MA program in College Administration at the end of this month. (I look forward to reading books for pleasure again lol).  

I found Maryam through the truth that she posts on IG.  I will be in my first live class tomorrow & I am happy to be apart of this community. Recently, I am being pulled to find ways to connect to Source. Right now, I am focusing on developing my intuition and identifying my home frequency.  

Also, I saw previous posts about an NYC group.  I currently live in Uptown Manhattan and would love to join if anyone has started one.  I look forward to learning and engaging with you all!

I'm on a break from IG, but you can find me: @ms.winn


Peace and love.

[KT]

Hi everyone,

I'm Karin, I'm newly transplanted to OC after living in Las Vegas for 38yrs, Florida and Germany prior to that. I'm 48yrs young and have 3 daughters, age 19, 22,& 27. I was fortunate to be a stay at home Mom. I was married for 23 yrs to a Catholic, I'm Jewish and my father is a reform Rabbi, mostly retired now.

I went through a long, slow and often painful awakening that began in 2012. I read through all the posts before replying and noted that another member identified with being a Twin Flame. I'm part of that collective as well.

From a very young age I identified with being 'an observer'. Never really fitting in and having very few friends. But I was always independent and it never bothered me. I'm an introvert that can talk to anyone and enjoys it, but then I need to retreat. Very much a lone wolf. I drove solo 10k miles across the country back in 2016 and had some epic moments, and a few that were not. It was one of the best things I've ever done. I'm working on balancing community in my life and feel a strong calling to work with children in some way. I have a very soft spot for the homeless as well. I believe many are angels walking and are a signpost for humanity.

I have had tremendous success with breath work, specifically the rebirthing technique taught by David Elliot. As someone who used to have an extremely overactive mind, I can finally meditate. I have found the space between the thoughts and it's pretty cool. I had a profound spontaneous OBE in the middle of a 6wk breath work healing journey, and since then have been able to astral project with some interesting experiences. I love yoga, walking on the beach, hiking(the trees have all the answers) gardening, arts and music. I'm very much into energy, frequency and sound. When I tune into something now that resonates I can feel it in my crown chakra.  I don't yet fully understand it but I'm very intuitive and I get people on a deep level.

I'm so happy to have found Maryam, I've been a student since early this year but only recently joined the group and this is my first time on the forum. I look forward to sharing with you all. I have an IG but don't post, and I don't have any other social media. I've unplugged from mainstream news for the most part.

Hellooooo, I haven't been as active in the board/live sessions but I did notice that we have a lot of new members which is phenomenal. I felt called to bring back this post. Feel free to introduce yourself if you'd like to and scroll through some of the past responses. You might find someone that you have some things in common with!

Blessings,

Bee

[Hoda Essa]

Hi all — wow, idk why but I was so moved by reading you all’s introductions <3 I’m so thankful for this space and want to personally thank y’all for sharing too! I know I opened the forum for social shares but I definitely love that we’re getting more intimate details of one another here <3

Okay, that being said! I’m Hoda, 26 years young and kind of have been a spiritual journey my whole life. I’ve considered myself a spiritual seeker since I was little. I grew up in a Sunni Muslim household and developed a close relationship with God through the specific practices of Islam. Having been immersed in a very spiritual household for as long as I could remember helped me feel incredibly comfortable with grandiosity of Spirit’s presence in my life. I also had a couple of experiences which accelerated my ascension and always felt like because of my curious and explorative nature, a lot of my desire to dance between realms came from an insatiable curiousity which has lead me here, to NEMS!  

I was always curious about the various forms of divination but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon Maryam’s SoundCloud that a degree of understanding was triggered and I’ve been so grateful ever since. I’ve always believed in the higher realms and our intimate relationship with them on the Earthly realms but it wasn’t until this class that I was able to make tangible, felt sense of a lot of theories I had swirling around in my head. So much spiritual information was grounded for me and every day we meet up, I feel closer to a world I’ve always imagined for all people to experience but namely those sensitive souls like myself!

Oh! I’m also based in NOLA and am a middle school teacher, a student, a lover, a singer, a writer, a curator/creator, a warrior, a divine aspect of source and a friend. I’m so giddy we’re chatting and drawing a closer thread among one another <3 can’t wait to see where we all are as we continue to plant seeds, together.

[Mindy Sue]

Hi all! I got an advance today for a nice booking and I told myself that when the client paid their deposit I'd join the New Earth Mystery School-so here I am. Very excited to be here and looking forward to classes & community

My name is Mindy Sue, bday 10/10 (Libra sun/Cap Rising/ Leo moon lady). I'm a working single mama to 2 kids-I homeschool my 10 year old daughter. We are in Seattle Wa currently. I have been reading Tarot and doing clairvoyant work since 1997. Various rites of passage and the birth of each child brought an intensification of my abilities and new gifts to me and I also practice past life healing, trauma healing and I actively communicate with spirits and guides. I enjoy folk herbalism and potion making. I am fascinated with ancestry (I think a big part of that is that both my birth parents were absent when I was growing up). My family line is mostly Irish, with French, German, Scandinavian, Congolese and Spanish ancestors. Before I did dna testing I was familiar with many ancestors (in the form of guides) from all these parts of my family history. I was raised by my Appalachian Grandmother (who would've never identified herself as magical) and she shared everything she'd learned growing up in rural West Virginia.

I hope to get to know some of you. If anyone wants to chat about fairies, spirits, starseed experiences or just magic in general, I'm in!
xoxo

[Kat]

Hi all...

I'm going to be honest I came to the forum on an intuitive nudge basically with the mindset of just looking with a voice in the back of my head asking why choose to isolate myself...& even then after reading through all your posts I wasn't going to until I saw Brittany's recent post about feeling called to activate this again...

So hello, my name is Kat. I live in San Jose in the Bay Area. I've been on this journey I guess you'd say for about six or seven years now, however this past November is what I would say was my Initiation.

I'm hesitant to be raw, but it is what it is. My long term partner's life was taken by a drunk driver, leaving me, well you know. I am so grateful that I had been doing so much of the inner work & cultivation of my Connection prior as a support system, however this emotional trauma has completely thrown me in the Void.

So I am here, in New Earth Mystery School truthfully as a lifeline. I am choosing not to activate old conditioned programming of how I'm supposed to "deal" with this.

I found Maryam's writings years ago and she was one of those people who spoke to a specific nuance that I could never quite find the words for.

So i am here as a way to nourish The Connection and for support and to equip myself with the tools. Concepts are one thing, but Maryam offers us the tools and for that I am so so grateful to her & to this community.

Oh god this has gotten so long. It's been great virtually meeting you all...I love astrology too so why not, Aries Sun/Moon, Aquarius Rising, Pisces merc/mars taurus venus :p

[Chi]

Hi everyone~!

I'm Chi, and I'm so grateful to share this space with you all.  I'm an artist/writer/educator currently living in nola.  I am a retir(ing) empath and 2019 has really been good to me so far.  Concepts that I've been coming across for years are finally starting to click and it feels amazing.  I discovered Has from hearing Fran mention her on the Friendzone in 2016.  Her soundcloud podcasts came into my life at exactly the moment when I was needing to hear them.  I'd say my spiritual journey began with falling in love turning my world on its head.  I'm on social @blacklitsociety

Looking forward to growing & connecting with yall ❤️

[Binta]

Hi everyone! Thank you Brittany and Esi for creating this space!

My name is Binta, I'm 29, and Miami is home for now. I'm a writer and community manager.

I've always felt connected to certain elements and energy. I have had a 'knowing' my entire life but no confirmation or community to confirm or seek guidance.  When I was a kid I would give people 'readings' not knowing really what I was doing. As I learn more, I remember so much more about the things I did intuitively as a kid that bring me back to the truth of our divinity.  I honestly never thought much about "spirituality" outside of unlearning some of the programs taught by Christianity, but I feel like I'm returning to myself through these teachings.

Last November was a turning point for me. I confronted a childhood trauma and a major conflict with my mother. During this painful experience, something kind of shifted inside and I heard my voice say:" I chose this storyline, and I'm kind of over it now." I've been trying to sit with myself honestly and completely ever since.

I have a lifelong love of fiction writing and over the last 3 months, I've realized that a novel series I've been working on since last July is essentially channeled information. I've kind of paused on the project to get clear on intention.  I'm still sitting with what I want this to mean for me.

 I'm really thankful to be learning in this space with all of you!
