Dawn is joined by Artemisia de Vine for a fascinating conversation covering themes of freedom, sexuality, and personal choice from the perspective of a former sex worker and somatic sexologist. Artemisia discusses the complex interplay between restriction and expansion that creates freedom. She shares her personal story of struggling with societal stigma as a sex worker while seeking inner wisdom and autonomy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Artemisia faced challenges growing up, with her mother dying young and her father rejecting her. This led her to follow her own path and interests, leading to her fascination with the sex industry. She went "native" and became a sex worker to understand people's desires.
Sexual fantasies help us overcome our fears of vulnerability so we can let go. They are stories that transport us to different feeling states. 
Women can get in the mood by tuning into their own desires and following what their body wants, starting small like with a cup of tea. Artemisia advises setting a date with yourself and your desire to overcome resistance.
Embarrassment about sexual fantasies is natural, as there is a part of us, ego, that resists vulnerability. But we can use the charge productively. Sexual fantasies allow us to temporarily relax the ego/self that normally protects us, so we can access states of connection beyond our everyday consciousness.

BEST MOMENTS 

‘Your first port of call is to tune inwards rather than outwards to your own desire compass’

‘Stories are powerful because a lot of us use stories and escape’

‘Any any sort of charge can be used in a destructive or constructive way’

‘Sometimes freedom means bondage’

ABOUT THE GUEST 

Artemisia de Vine was scared of sex, so instead of running from it, she poked it with a stick to see how it works. When we face our fears we transform them. This led to a lifetime of personal and professional sexplorations to understand how the erotic psyche works. She learned from some of the leading erotic pioneers in the world, spent well over a decade as a full-time sex worker and professional dominatrix, and is now an internationally sought after sexpert who mentors elite sex workers, therapists, sex educators and self-discovery seekers how to understand the erotic mind and create tailored experiences based on each person's unique erotic narrative. She has an upcoming book: The Spirituality of Smut: The surprising wisdom of sexual fantasies.

Welcome to Finding Freedom, the show that helps you find your freedom. We will hear the wildly differing perspectives on what freedom is, what it isn’t, and why, how, and when it can be achieved, and also taken from us, in physical, emotional and psychological ways. We will discuss topics that may challenge you, or make you reconsider your own perspective. We will explore the many facets of freedom and the ways in which to achieve it, in life, in business, in love; are you ready to find your freedom?

Freedom for me is being able to express who I am, choose the life that suits me and my personality, and being free from the ‘normal’ expectations of society. I also want the freedom to talk about topics that I don’t understand, but am curious to learn about, without judgement, political correctness, or feeling the need for self-censoring. We can only learn about things if we are free to discuss, challenge and explore.
