Somatic shaping for an era of liberation
An 8 week emergent & embodied knowledge share for women limited by the confluence of body image and sexual shame.
It’s time to bring beauty and s..e.x back into the feminist agenda.
➡️Do You Feel Exhausted and Enraged by the feeling of shame, oppression, and control over women’s bodies?
➡️Are You Disillusioned by the evasive myth of beauty and the perfect body?
➡️Do You Suspect Something is Missing in how you relate to your body, but you aren’t sure what?
➡️Does Your Blood Boil when you see heteronormative and paternalistic beauty advertisements aimed to commercialize the female form?
➡️Are You Ready to Build a strong and stable arsenal against the pervasive body-negative and s3x- shaming rhetoric out there?
Beauty, S.e.x and Power is a gathering of women who possess the strength needed to sit in the shared vulnerability and power of confronting the fact that body image issues remain pervasive within the female community and who are ready to confront the realities of how it affects us politically, professionally, socially, and relationally.
It’s normal to feel like you are in a constant battle with your sense of self-worth and self-love. It’s only within community, armed with embodied knowledge, and flooded with positive restorative experiences of our bodies that we can heal these wounds.
🔥🔥🔥Our organic somatic blueprint as women is one of clarity, empowerment, knowing, and discernment. It’s about time we remembered what we were all born knowing–our bodies were made to feel pleasure, they were made for action, change, and to be the perfect conduits for our desires.🔥🔥🔥
Our body image and how much love we have for the way we look, as well as the pleasure we allow ourselves to feel, is often the very last thing remaining in our fight against the commodification of our bodies, our reawakening to our political power, and our demand for equal representation and economic and bodily sovereignty. **It’s time to take the bull by the f&cking horns.**🔥 We are too smart to be spending so much of our time and energy worrying about our appearance and allowing our sexuality to continue to be limited by the powers that be.
Our beauty, our sex, and our power has been defined by pleasure-negativity, body-shaming, and female disenfranchisement for far too long.
✊✊It is time to reshape the current era towards:
→ liberation, sovereignty, interdependence
→ a woman-centered definition of beauty and s.e..x as the absolute nexus of our power.✊✊
Join me for this experiential 8-week journey into the heart of embodiment, liberation, and community. Dive deep into the realms of body image, se.xual liberation, and personal empowerment. In this experiential class we are going to be breaking the illusion of the 🥀beauty myth🥀 through the power of direct experiences of our bodies. They can tell us all they want about how our bodies should look, but they’ll never be able to diminish our direct experience of our physical selves.
"Beauty, S.e.x, and Power" is not just a course; it's a radical invitation for women of all ages, life stages, backgrounds, and experience to drench themselves in positive and restorative experiences of their bodies through somatics, socio-cultural perspectives, and pleasure-centered practices.
Through:
→socio-political education,
→embodiment practices,
→pleasure reclamation, and
→somatic sex ed,
we will reclaim our birthright to confidence in our bodies, and love for our full soma, exactly as it is right now. ✊📢
We are still experiencing our bodies through the lens of patriarchy, commodification, and colonization.
It's time for a systemic change.
This class is that change.✊📢

🔵Transformative Vision: Beyond acquiring new knowledge, this series aims to seed a vibrant community committed to counteracting pervasive narratives of body shame and sexual negativity. We envision a world where body love and sex positivity are not just ideals but lived realities, contributing to the dismantling of patriarchal structures from within.

In these 8 weeks we will be creating a microclimate of a counter culture we are all proud of and empowered by.
