Dr. Laura Jurgens, certified Sex & Intimacy Coach & Somatica Practitioner, shares her journey of re-inhabiting and reclaiming her body, her sexual pleasure, and re-writing the sexual intimacy in her marriage after years of dissociation as a survivor of childhood physical and sexual abuse.  

"When we touch someone, we touch their whole history, their deepest wounds, their secret identity, their healing powers, and their most profound capacities for joy.Sacred Intimacy is not rocket science, though it is neuroscience. We need to understand the neural learning zone, address the traumatic shaping we experience around the erotic, and create space for and welcome empowered choice and voice. We need to understand about attachment wounds, navigate power dynamics, and eschew relationship paradigms that inhibit loving connection. The lens of neurobiology helps us do this work in ways that are trauma aware, ethical and deeply grounded.  There is also a domain - specific knowledge we need, of sensual massage, genital anatomy, genital massage strokes, genital dearmouring, and the integration of science, sex and spirit."  From Caffyn Jesse's new site and new online course - a curation and culmination of their life's work and play.  

How can the wisdom and support of plant medicines aid in the healing of sexual trauma?  Today, we hear a first-hand account of how the Mother Plant Ayahuasca, psilocybin and cannabis can aid in the reclamation of one’s body, genital pleasure, and sexual wholeness with special guest, Salimeh Tabrizi, Psychedelics Integration Specialist/Educator/Advocate and Clinical Counselor. 

Ron & Pono Stewart are both certified Sexological Bodyworkers and Somatic Sex Educators who have focussed insights and experiences in tailor-designing individual and couples retreats for men/cock-owners.   We explore how some of the most common issues involving enjoying healthy erections and ejaculation choice are rooted from our developmental imprints where our connection and intimacy with our genitalia are formed, and how they each and together hold sacred space for men to embody, empower, and expand the capacity for sacred eros.

Olivia Naomi Bryant is the creator of Self-Cervix - a body of somatic education, research and call to revolution for reclaiming and developing a love affair with this often overlooked and medially mistreated part of the sexual and reproductive anatomy.   Studies show that 60% of orgasms by vulva-owners are experienced via the clitoris, 30% intra-vaginally, whilst only 10 % are experienced via the Cervix - despite the cervix being innervated by 3 sets of paired nerves (Vagus, Hypogastric, Pelvic) - the most of any part of the reproductive anatomy.  We explore reasons for why this is and how to sensitize and reclaim the pleasures and orgasmic capacity of the Cervix.   

How can we identify, embody, and explore relating from previously disowned, shamed and judged aspects of our Self to a place of integration and wholeness?  Tani Tholes and Leslie Rogers of Light/Dark Institute create private individual & couples' intensives and group retreats to facilitate just that utilizing kink, bondage, Dom/Sub Ceremonies all guided by their client's intentions, and held within a safe container of clearly defined boundaries, safe words, desires and after-care.  

Dolly Josette, also known as "The Vulva Whisperer" and named "a leading practitioner of hands-on sexual therapy" by Hustler magazine, shares her journey of reclamation from a lack of sexual aliveness to an aligned, prioritized, pleasure-filled marriage.  She also explains how her training as a Somatica Practitioner blends beautifully with her space-holding as a Sexological Bodyworker, and the magical benefits of genital mapping, one-way touch, and intentional touch for emotional healing in deepening pleasure, intimacy and connection for couples.  

How can we better attune to and listen for the guidance of the body’s pleasure for its own healing?  Listening for the answers to this question with his heart, intuition, and hands, combined with his deep understanding of how to restore healthy fascial lines, anatomical structures within the body, and hold a safe space for trauma resolution, Martin Beaudoin shares how he’s cultivated unique and effective practices for his clients and trainings including the little known, yet very potent erogenous area called the K-spot, and a most effective pelvic bowl tension release practice - Thiele stripping.  

Andre Lazarus is a Somatica Sex & Intimacy Coach, a Sexual Surrogate, and Sacred Intimate.  He shares the distinctions in -  scope of practice, boundaries, and common sexual issues resolved - that he facilitates in each of these roles.  It’s a unique soul that’s drawn to hold space for any one of these sexual healing modalities.  And an extraordinary life’s purpose to develop a realm of expertise in all three.  

I’m overjoyed to share this episode with Frank Wiegers and Judith Claire, authors of the wonderful books, “The Magical Sex Book” and “So That’s Why They Do That - About Men, Women and Hormones.”  They met when Frank was 69 and Judith was 60 and over the last 18 years have enjoyed the deepest intimacy and most ecstatic sex of their lives.  They generously and lovingly share how they consciously cultivate their deep connection and satiate their sexual desires in their ever-expanding relationship with themselves and with each other.
