KEY TAKEAWAYS


Many individuals grow up with limited or inadequate sexual education, leading to feelings of shame and disconnection from their own bodies and sexuality.


Consent is a foundational aspect of healthy relationships and sexual experiences. It is crucial to establish a sense of consent that empowers individuals to express their needs and desires without feeling obligated to please others at the expense of their own comfort.


Individuals can experience a sexual awakening at any stage in life, which can lead to a deeper understanding of their bodies and desires.


Both men and women possess masculine and feminine energies that can be integrated for healthier relationships.


Many people carry trauma related to their sexuality, which can manifest in various ways, including feelings of shame and disconnection. Addressing and healing from these traumas is essential for individuals to reconnect with their true selves and experience intimacy in a fulfilling way.



BEST MOMENTS

"It's not about giving women power, it's about recognizing the power that's all"

"There's yang masculine and yang yin masculine. that yang masculine, or the yin feminine, is that flow, that nurturing, that creativity."

"I feel like because we are conditioned to just live up in our head, so we have this disconnection from our body, we have this disconnection from our emotions"
