On being held…
One of our first experiences of being alive, of incarnating into the physical realm inside our mothers wombs is being held. I believe we still have this blueprint in our bodies: we hold the cellular memory of being held. Life is a matrix of multiple layers of...
On the fear of being abandoned…
You know that thing - where your neediness drives someone else away or vice versa? The more you feel someone's neediness, the more claustrophobic you feel - or the other way around: the more you feel someone's avoidance of intimacy with you, the more needy you feel....
“All I want is to be loved”
So hungry have we been for permission to be wild and free after the shaming and miserable confines of conditioning around our sexuality, that a new industry of 'sex-positive' gatherings, festivals and workshops is booming... a plethora of options available to those...
On transcending victim/perpetrator dynamics
I know it's a tremendously complex issue. And perhaps I'd do better to stay clear of it, rather than stirring up shit storms... I just know that the current narrative we have isn't working and it's time to create a new one. This is a conversation that needs to be had....

On shaming men’s desire
I know that sexual shaming is rampant universally, but through my work I often come into contact with how women - feeling threatened by male desire - so often shame men, sometimes overtly, but often unconsciously. I know many of us have been victims to men’s desire...
On suffering
There is nothing quite like suffering as a catalyst for climbing the ladder of perspective. Up and up, each rung a slightly more whole picture, a little more Truth. Each step, you realise you feel a little freer. Every time you pause and take a breath and realise you...
Cyclical Living (from a recovering intensity junky)
In this era of abundance of and easy access to intense experiences, there seems to be the tendency to try and cram in as much as possible. Entertainment, festivals, self-development workshops, plant medicine rituals, erotic encounters…we are intensity junkies, our...
