16: A Wild Heart Awakening with Beata Alfoldi

Beata Alfoldi is a teacher, workshop
facilitator, Shamanic practitioner, healer, speaker, and
see-er.  She has an intuitive gift for assisting individuals
to move through deep transformation.  She holds private
classes, sessions, workshops, and international retreats in
Australia, Bali, Thailand and Mexico.  She created the
Integral Woman program for the Awareness Institute in Sydney and
co-facilitated a transformational group journey to Peru where she
lived and studied with various healers and shamans of the Amazon
and the Andes. 


Beata is passionate about inspiring others to find ways to live
authentically with freedom and empowerment in life.  She is
a dear friend of mine, and I’m thrilled to have her on the show
today.  Join us! I'm sure you will find this conversation
very moving and valuable. 


In this episode, you’ll learn:


How Beata, at age 45, is childless, not by choice, but
through the unexpected tragedy and shock of her son’s stillbirth
four years ago.

How stillbirth, and death/loss in general, are topics that
people find difficult to address.

How a life-changing event, like Beata’s loss, brings up
personal feelings of guilt and challenges your basic belief
system.

How Beata feels a soul-connection to her son, that assures
her that death is not the end.

How small rituals each day helped Beata grieve and heal from
the loss of her son.

How the support of friends, who allowed her space for her
healing, helped her get through the painful loss and how she, in
turn, can help others in grief.

How Beata has insight and wisdom to help each of us be
helpful in supporting those who are experiencing grief.

Her experience as a Shamanic practitioner has given her a
deeper understanding, compassion, and increased gratitude for
life.

How Beata finds ways to mentor and influence the lives of the
children in her life even though she doesn’t have the opportunity
to mother daily her own son.

How Beata aspires to set up a children’s charity in the near
future, and already donates a percentage of her profits to help
the lives of children. 



“If we can set up more networks of grace, then we can
build a better world where there is not ONE PERSON without access
to clean water, food, and shelter.”  Andrew Harvey


Beata advises others who have experienced the loss of a child
to take the time to grieve and then look for opportunities to
serve others who are also healing.

How Beata’s experience has liberated her from basic fears and
intensified her appreciation for the sacredness of life.

My hope is that Beata's story will bring comfort and support as
she's a wonderful role model of how we can gracefully and gently
navigate these extremely challenging experiences. Thank you so
much!
