A few years ago I did a course called Dancing Eros, where we explored feminine sexual archetypes through embodiment and dance. I'm talking sacred sexuality. Not sexiness. Real, earthy, gritty sexuality. Sensuality. (Don’t get me wrong – learning strip tease and burlesque can be awesome for your confidence. But this...
Reflecting On Love and Deserving
I was widowed when I was 33. I was told by someone who didn't even know me that well, that it was so obvious that what we shared was not common. It was one of those rare loves that very few get to experience. I had been exceptionally lucky. That...
High Profile Sex Abuse Cases
High Profile Sex Abuse Cases in the Media. from 12 May 2015 People who comment on these high profile cases of retrospective sexual abuse, by asking “Why would they come forward after all of these years?” need to sit in some of the rooms I have sat in. To witness outwardly...
