🎤IN SYLVIA’S WORDS....
“Hi, who are you?”
I hate that question.
How can I give a quick one liner when the answer could fill a whole book?
I refuse to succumb to people’s insistence on simplifying complexity so I’m easier to grasp and less frightening!
Masquerading as Normal
Masquerading as normal day after day was truly exhausting for me. It took me decades of personal work to shed societies expectations, inherited family traumas and subconscious fears in order to finally feel fulfilled by simply being my quirky, multi-faced self.
The Desperate Black Socks Matcher
We are devoted mothers AND successful business women.
We are giggly little girls AND mature wise matriarchs..
We are passionate lovers AND strong leaders for tomorrow.
Cinderella Before The Ball
The Lover
“Love is the deliberate creation of space for another to grow.”
The Artist
Being an artist helps not only bring my own vision of color onto canvases, it empowers me to help thousands of women around the world connect with their own creativity in order to step into their leadership power by simply being themselves!
Being Art Herself
Instead of obeying outdated blueprints of society, we women can finally choose which colors to express and live life on our own terms. The rainbow skirt from the Tears & Tulle Movement is the perfect symbol for the magic we women carry in us for a glorious, vibrant and abundant way of living!
The Grieving Daughter
Recently I experienced heart-breaking grief when my father died, and enormous stress while moving my mother into a nursing home due to her dementia. Paradoxically, I still felt peaceful, strong and clear. The contrast between the rainbow colors of the Tears and Tulle skirt with something black symbolizes this paradox for me. In the photo of the grieving daughter I hold the black urn holding my father ashes. It’s my first Christmas without him. And that is sad, peaceful, life, colorful, right… all at once.
At the Edge of the World
After 7000 years of patriarchy, more and more women stepping into leadership roles means we are literally standing at the edge of the world as we know it.
Leader of Tomorrow
The patriarchy is crumbling. When women lead by simply being themselves, the patriarchy will naturally evolve into a more just and sustainable world for all of us. A new era of true partnership between men and women is already on the horizon. And the rainbow colors of women will lead us there....
ABOUT SYLVIA...
Sylvia Becker-Hill promised herself at a young age to figure out what women truly need to be fulfilled and free to live life on their own terms.
As the daughter of parents traumatized as children in German cities destroyed by the second world war, she saw her mother struggle with the impacts of conservative, patriarchal systems, social conformity, and a deep fear and distrust of any sort of creativity, individuality or self expression.
She promised herself to heal herself from this history of family and societal trauma, and empower as many women she can to dismantle the patriarchy that had hurt so deeply everyone she knew.
After gaining two university degrees and doing academic research into matriarchal and gender studies, philosophy, early childhood and educational development, she combined her passion for art with business and neuroscience with leadership to create a unique transformational training for women.
The Becker-Hill Women’s Empowerment School fills a gap in the exploding market for women’s leadership training. While most of these trainings simply teach women the success strategies of powerful men, Sylvia teaches women her own unique process that transforms her clients’ lives by simply being women.
Her clients lovingly call her curriculum the “Hogwarts School of Female Leadership” due to it’s almost magical ability to bring out deep, lasting personal transformation and dramatic real life results.
When Sylvia is not speaking, teaching or coaching, she strolls with her husband and boys along the beaches north of San Diego, or spends time in a whimsical back-yard art studio created from a former girls playhouse.
