    Can BDSM Teach Us to Be Better Facilitators? - Nadia Munla

    "Containment is the process of creating a permission field, a safe container, a somatic experience of being grounded and held." – Nadia Munla Nadia Munla is an embodiment and intimacy coach known for her pioneering work bridging sensuality, power, and leadership. She's the creator of Embody by Nadia™, a movement method that brings women back into connection with their bodies, pleasure, and truth. With over a decade of experience as a coach and facilitator, Nadia weaves together somatic wisdom, kink-informed energetics, and feminine leadership to help people reclaim safety, depth, and aliveness in how they lead, love, and express. In this episode, Nadia shares: How the worlds of embodiment, kink, and facilitation intersect through energy, trust, and consent. Why healing our relationship to power and control is central to personal and collective transformation. The difference between containment and penetration—and how these dynamics shape every relationship and facilitation space. What it means to lead from loving dominance instead of control. How facilitators can hold stronger containers without losing attunement or softness. Practical ways to build embodied resilience and nervous-system awareness as leaders.   Connect with Nadia https://nadiamunla.com/ Connect with Rachel Rachel's Email List: subscribe Rachel's Website: rachelrickards.com The Field Facilitator Training: www.the-field.com Find us on Instagram The Field Facilitator Training: instagram.com/thefieldfacilitation Rachel Rickards: instagram.com/rachel.rickards/ Our Cover Art was Designed by Oana Serbana Instagram: Oana_flowingart Etsy:  Oana Flowing Art Etsy
