Meet Your Host

Hi! I’m Nallieli Santamaria.

My purpose is to facilitate conversations for a more loving world. The Garden of Becoming podcast is my first contribution.

What gets in the way of us living the lives we dream of? What keeps us from feeling at home, safe in ourselves? From feeling that we belong? From knowing that we matter? From knowing, in our bones, that we are worthy of love, pleasure, connection, and the life we desire? And what would happen if we had a stronger foundation from which to meet the world?

Through conversations with experts, we explore these questions and offer actionable practices that anyone can begin today.

Letters to Time grew out of the same impulse, but in a different form.

I write letters to Time, and Time writes back. Through this ongoing correspondence, I explore the beautiful and the troublesome parts of life, and receive guidance from Time. I’m distilling the essence of these letters into beautiful physical objects that invite you into a conversation with yourself. The first object will be an oracle deck.

Eventually, I want to host gatherings so these conversations can take place in community.

The podcast, the writing, and the gatherings are all different expressions of the same thing:

I want to facilitate conversations that help us become more fully ourselves, more connected to one another, and more capable of creating a loving world.
