  2. The Virgin and the Whore: Healing the Divide

    AUG 28

    The Virgin and the Whore: Healing the Divide

    For thousands of years, women have been cast into one of two roles: the virgin or the whore. Most people see them as polar opposites, as two parts that could never be one. On one side is a woman who is “marriage material.” On the other side, a seductress who elicits fantasy and desire but lives outside the bounds of respectable society. But in this episode, we’re going to illuminate the truth – we are both of these all at once, and so much more. Tune in for a history lesson in the virgin and the whore and find out which parts of the story have been left out. Listen to this episode to hear about: The root of the words, “virgin” and “whore” and what they tell us about women’s sexual powerSteps people can make to heal the divide and embrace a full range of sexual expressionOur personal experiences with being labeled one or the other, and how we broke out of those one-dimensional cagesWhy the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene were both misunderstood in their expression of the virgin and whore archetypesDifferent types of experiences that people can attend to expand their expression of sexuality and embrace more of their wholeness, including our own Worshipper erotic ritual theatre (our next show is on October 19 and will cover the story of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and the Virgin Mary) 🍄Special shout out to Moment Mushrooms🍄 Moment Mushrooms is a BC-based wellness brand focused on the transformative power of psilocybin mushrooms to support inner growth and mental health.

    Something Unholy: Infidelity, From Rupture To Repair

    It’s a dirty little secret no one likes to acknowledge yet many of us have experienced – cheating. Studies show that up to 44% of people admit to cheating in relationships, and up to 57% of all divorces result from infidelity. Whether we like it or not, cheating happens. So let’s figure out what to do with it. Cheating on someone can feel shameful. Being cheated on can feel like the worst kind of betrayal. But no matter what side you’ve found yourself on, this behavior doesn’t have to be the end of your ability to love. In some cases, it can even result in major healing if repair takes center stage. Tune in to hear about the ways cheating has shown up in our lives – whether from personal experience or our clients’ – and paths to repair once the line has been crossed. Listen to this episode to hear about: The reasons why people cheat (and why partners always know when it’s happening)The most important thing to do to recover trust after cheatingWhy desire fades in long-term relationships and steps to take to make things 🔥 againDifferent relationship models and communication techniques that can prevent or repair relationships that have experienced cheatingThe secrets of couples who have made relationships exciting for the long termWhy couples need community, and the myth of being able to do it alone Links mentioned: Family Constellations (aka Systemic Family Constellations) The stat Sonja couldn’t find without her glasses: 88% of women who cheat place a greater emphasis on emotional affairs than purely physical.

    The Emerging Man: Exploring Men’s Work and Emotional (un)Availability with Vern Petty

    What does it mean to be a man these days? As gender roles are being restructured and explored, the emerging field of men’s work offers a rich landscape of ways to explore a new, healthier expression of masculinity. Our guest for this episode is Vern Petty, a somatic therapist and men’s work facilitator. He shares with us his personal journey to finding men’s work and how it has helped him heal his wounds and guide men to realize their greatest potential. Our conversation is laced with vulnerable shares about dating, breakups, and how we’ve learned to work with the emotional spectrum within relationships. We tackle the question of what it means to be emotionally available, and how we can do the work to become more attuned both to our own needs and our partners’. We also hear about Vern’s experience with conscious uncoupling, a process he recently underwent to honour his ex-partner and heal his heartbreak by sealing the ending of a partnership with a story of gratitude and growth. Listen in to explore what men like Vern are gaining from men’s work and why it matters. We explore topics that include: What it means to show up in truth at the beginning, middle, and end of a relationshipThe need for men to find spaces to align and direct toward purposeWhat men and women can do to deepen hetero romantic relationships and platonic friendshipsSexual energy cultivation (beyond simple semen retention)What emotional availability actually isAnyone who loves men – or is a man – owes it to themselves to explore what is happening in the field of men’s work. 🍄Special shout out to Moment Mushrooms🍄 Moment Mushrooms is a BC-based wellness brand focused on the transformative power of psilocybin mushrooms to support inner growth and mental health.

    Season 3: EPISODE 2: Exploring Celibacy, Casual Dating, and the Art of Relationship Cleansing

    Imagine how much more fulfilling relationships would be if we took the time to have a “crush cleanse,” periods of intentional reflection after a breakup, or made space for rituals to harvest the learnings from loves lost so we can explore what we want to bring in. From conscious celibacy, casual dating, to the art of relationship fasting, and creating a personal relationship vision, listen in to our convo from our personal experiences so you can create your own North Star in the jungle of dating. We think taking time to explore what you want (and what you don’t) before you jump into the dating pool might just revolutionize everyone’s love life. This kind of relationship “master cleanse” can show you what’s a true love connection and what’s a patch to cover the hole of loneliness. Tune in to this episode to hear us explore themes around: The power of intentional celibacy (a practice that is surprisingly gaining in popularity).How meaningful self-pleasure can quench the touch-starved thirst. The impact of the father wound on the quest for deep intimacy. What we’ve learned about what we want by leaving behind what we don’t want. The magic of romance, love letters, and ways to make consent S E X Y. Our favorite practices for mapping out a relationship vision. A bonus offer: If you’re interested in journeying into your relationship vision, the first workshop of our Holy Eros Summit focused on practices that can guide you to outline what you’re looking for by exploring how you got here and all that it taught you. You can get access to a recorded version of this by purchasing access to the Holy Eros Summit recording at https://holyerosinstitute.com/healing-eros.

    Embracing your Wild Unleashed Erotic Lover & Mother with Natalie Abraham

    Exploring sexuality as a woman, let alone as a mother, is a complex initiation into facing your inner wounds and sexual shame often passed down through our mother lines. So my convo with Somatic Trauma Therapist Natalie Abraham was a deeply refreshing exploration where she touched on: Illuminating the divine paradox that is to balance the paradox of being both an erotic sensual woman & mother and dissolving the ever selfless ‘martyred mother’ archetype to come into divine integration (or the healing of the Virgin/Whore divide and reclamation of the whole spectrum woman)Her powerful story of modeling healthy curious sexual exploration for her pre-teen and how to broach the uncomfortable topics of sexual education with our childrenUnpacking sexual shame that gets passed down from mother to daughter & how to create space for dialogue, curiosity and exploration in healthy waysThe importance of heart + soul in building trust for genuine intimacy and overcoming the disconnection between love + sex we see in the dating world exacerbated through Online Dating/Tinder/Porn cultureHer distinction of Sexuality vs. Sensuality and the four stages of intimacy, sensuality, sexual energy, and sex and how to use these distinctions to explore different forms of touch + closenessNatalie is a certified Somatic Trauma Therapist, an intimacy coach and heart initiator, an artist and healer, a poet. She guide’s transformative journeys through multiple sensual and sexual arts including Dancing into Tantra, Rope Healing/Shibari, Erotic Explorations, Female Embodiment, Men’s Circles and much more.
