Awakened Love

In the first-ever live, in-person episode of Awakened Love, Angel Drake sits down with her dear friend Yossef Sagi — mystic, teacher, coach and founder of The Mystery Temple — for a conversation that starts with floggers at airport security and goes all the way down. Together they explore the nervous-system chemistry of BDSM and why safety without intensity is dull, but intensity without safety is torture. They unpack the romantasy phenomenon and what the villain who claims her — versus the prince who owns her — reveals about female desire. And they go deep into the healing of men: the rise of the tantric f*ckboy, why women's discernment is part of the work, and the constant, living balance between sovereignty and surrender in long-term love. Yossef returns soon to share his 25 years inside a spiritual organisation — and his adventures in the world of conscious play parties. Subscribe so you don't miss it.

Mama Gena, author of Pussy and CEO of the School of Womanly Arts, dives deep on how to create pleasure in your own life. She covers everything from P*ssy Manifestation, Owning your P*ssy, and The Power of Sisterhood. Reminding us that we all have the power to unlock our pleasure and live a life of true bliss.   === TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro  1:50 Manifestations with P*ssy Pleasure 9:16 Own Your P*ssy 13:22 Power of Sisterhood 21:57 Weaving Pleasure into your Life 33:42 Creating Boundaries  38:56 Rapid Fire Questions  44:20 Conclusion ===   GUEST BIO:   Regena Thomashauer — the one and only “Mama Gena” — is a teacher and best-selling author, mother and media personality, and founder and CEO of the School of Womanly Arts, which began in her living room in 1998 and has since grown into a global movement.   Regena believes that women are the greatest untapped natural resource on the planet, and that as people of all genders reclaim the magnificence of the feminine, the patriarchy will fall away, liberating us all.   She’s dedicated her work to women, specifically, because Regena knows Woman. And while Woman is an expansive concept (there are so many ways to be a woman), those of us who identify as women are connected through a common global experience of oppression. We are living in a culture that shames our bodies, rebukes our emotionality, fears our sexuality, violates our safety, and makes us wrong for having feminine aspects, for being women at all.   In her classroom and through her books, Regena shares our foremothers’ knowledge and embodied wisdom from pre-patriarchal times, the thousands and thousands of years when goddess culture (and pleasure) reigned. She shifts the way women hold their sexuality and identities, both individually and culturally. She creates communities of women who are so outrageously and wildly expressed that they are loving the world back to itself.   https://mamagenas.com/  @mamagena   ===   Follow me on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/angelikaalana/ https://www.instagram.com/awakenedlove/   My Website: https://www.angelikaalana.com/
